While a grim Luke Skywalker reels from Darth Vader’s revelation on the cloud city of Bespin, the tattered remnants of the Rebel fleet desperately seek sanctuary and time to muster new allies. Their forces are weak, and that has not escaped the notice of Emperor Palpatine — ultimate victory lies within his grasp. All it will take is another blow to crush this Rebel Alliance, one more straw to break their backs. A blow, Palpatine reasons, that could be struck by the vast, criminal underworld that lurks within the Shadows of the Empire…

Prince Xizor controls the largest merchant fleet in the galaxy — that makes him a valuable asset to the Empire and to the Emperor. And that makes him Darth Vader’s hated enemy.

They outnumber him and outgun him. By all rights, Luke Skywalker should be one dead Jedi-in-training, the target of a surprise attack by Jabba’s swoop gang. But he’s not . . . and even he isn’t certain of the reason!

What would it take for you to step into the den of a rancor? What treasure would tempt you to stare death in the face? Aboard Boba Fett’s ship is a carbonite-encased Han Solo. Jabba’s willing to pay plenty for Solo, making him a tempting treasure for every bounty hunter in the galaxy. But tempting enough to board the Slave I? Apparently, somebody thinks so!

The bounty on Skywalker’s head is good cold or warm, dead or alive. A live bounty will always bring a bigger reward than a dead one, but when the target leaves you no choice you take what you can get.
