      The Mandalorian Armor In the hope of quelling the Rebellion Prince Xizor proposes a cunning plan to the Emperor and Darth Vader: smash the power of the Bounty Hunter’s Guild by turning its members against each other, and the survivors against the Rebellion. The fiercely independent Boba Fett jumps at the chance to destroy his rivals but when he realizes the game is rigged, he finds himself the target of murderous factions, criminal conspiracies, and the evil at the Empire’s dark heart. Slave Ship The once powerful Bounty Hunter’s Guild has been shattered and the posting of an enormous bounty on a renegade Imperial stormtrooper is about to start a frenzy of murderous greed among its warring factions. Boba Fett embarks on his mission to claim the prize unaware that his every move leads him closer to a trap set by the devious Prince Xizor. Fett will die before becoming Xizor’s pawn in the Emperors war against the Rebels—and given the deadly challenge he now faces he may have to. Hard Merchandise When Boba Fett stumbles across evidence implicating Prince Xizor in the murder of Luke Skywalker’s aunt and uncle, he makes an enemy of someone who will kill to cover his tracks. Fett also also crosses paths with an amnesiac young woman named Neelah, who may be the key to the mystery—or a dangerous decoy leading him into a murderous ambush. Although Fett hopes to turn Xizor’s hidden enemies against him he knows that his chances for survival are slim—even for someone as skilled and relentless as Boba Fett.

      Political tensions on Bajor are once again on the rise, and the various factions may soon come to open conflict. In addition, a series of murders has shaken everyone on board the station. While Security Chief Odo investigates the murders, Commander Sisko finds himself butting up against a new religious faction that plans to take over Bajor and force the Federation to leave Deep Space Nine. Odo soon traces the murders to a bizarre and dangerous form of holosuite technology--a technology that turns it's users into insane killers and now threatens Sisko's son, Jake. As the situation on Bajor deteriorates, Sisko learns that the political conflict and the new holosuites are connected. Both are the work of a single dangerous man with a plan that threatens the very fabric of reality. The plot is darker than anything Sisko has faced before, and to defeat it, he must enter the heart of a twisted, evil world where danger lurks in every corner and death can come at any moment--from the evil within himself, from his closest friends, or even at the hands of his own son.
