Publisher's summary

The original script for the audiobook production, in which Dr. Aphra allies herself with Darth Vader, offers an expanded take on the highly regarded Marvel comic book series.

The unscrupulous archaeologist Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra finds herself in yet another predicament.

As a trailblazer in the illicit field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra disregards regulations, lacks apprehension, and demonstrates no self-restraint. She believes the real value of the galactic artifacts she unearths lies not in museum display but in their potential as weaponry. This perspective frequently leads to misunderstandings. When her most recent scheme backfires spectacularly, her lawless behavior is about to catch up with her, but then Darth Vader, the galaxy's terror, suddenly intervenes with his lightsaber drawn and...saves her!

Make no mistake, she is not unappreciative. Granted, her new superior is a Sith Lord. And, admittedly, she may have become a mere piece in a lethal game being played between him and his superior, who happens to be the Galactic Emperor. And, yes, the lifespan of anyone who disappoints Vader can be counted in mere moments.

However, she is once again engaged in her area of expertise. She has a spacecraft to pilot, a robbery to execute, and a pair of unconventional yet highly effective metallic companions: Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in decorum, customs, translation, and torture; and BT-1, a blastomech armed with sufficient firepower to destroy a battle cruiser. Together, they might just succeed in completing the task and avoiding the fatal performance evaluation that awaits them at the end.

Just kidding. She's destined for failure.
