More about the book
Culled from the pages of the Star Wars Adventure Journal, this exciting short-story collection features tales from award-winning and bestselling authors as well as newcomers. Stories include the desperate flight of a civilian mail courier carrying vital Rebel intelligence through an Imperial blockade, a suicidal commando raid on an impregnable Imperial prison, and a Corellian smuggler hired by an actor turned Jedi Knight turned Imperial assassin for one final transformation. These tales capture all the high adventure, imaginative genius, and nonstop action that are the hallmarks of the Star Wars saga. The centerpiece of this collection is the short novel Side Trip, a collaboration between Timothy Zahn and Michael A. Stackpole, in which a freighter smuggling arms for the Rebels is commandeered by an Imperial Star Destroyer led by a mysterious helmeted figure claiming to be the notorious bounty hunter Jodo Kast. It is part of a devious plan involving Hal and Corran Horn, who are working undercover to capture the infamous Corellian warlord Zekka Thyne, where one slip-up can get them all killed.
