HOTH AWAITS! Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, and the infamous smuggler Han Solo have consistently dealt impactful blows against the Empire. The Rebel Alliance is fortifying its defenses on the icy, remote world of Hoth, but how secure can they truly be from their numerous adversaries? Darth Vader is relentless in his pursuit to crush the rebellion, yet his attempts to pinpoint their new base have been futile. Will the dark side of the Force guide him to the elusive rebels and the young Skywalker, or will it entangle the dark lord further in the conflicts of his past? Despite a history filled with betrayal and devastation, Doctor Aphra has managed to find a semblance of family. Former Imperial inspector Magna Tolvan and Aphra's young ward Vulaada will confront the challenges of a life dedicated to rebellion…while Aphra grapples with the consequences of her past actions. BEILERT VALANCE, the former Imperial loyalist now turned cyborg bounty hunter, embarks on a perilous new assignment. The very survival of the Rebellion—including his old comrade HAN SOLO—hangs in the balance should he falter!
