Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from the Dark Times comic series:
  • Issues 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10: Parallels
    In the last days of the Clone Wars, Jedi Master K'Kruhk finds his fate altered by Order 66 in ways he could not have imagined. Now it is not just his own life that depends on his skills, but the lives of many.
    Elsewhere in the galaxy, Bomo Greenbark and the crew of the smuggler vessel Uhumele are being pursued by the Empire, even as they head for a potentially dangerous rendezvous.
    As the crew of the Uhumelé heads for what they hope will be a big payday, Bomo Greenbark learns the reasons why pilot Crys Taanzer hates not just the Republic and the Empire, but even the Jedi. Events during the Clone Wars forced her to make a decision that she has lived to regret. And, though she cannot know it, her decision has had ramifications for Jedi Master K'Kruhk, as well. But the real danger still lies ahead, as betrayal is piled upon betrayal. In the dark times, putting your trust in anyone, it seems, means putting your life on the line!
    Bomo Greenbark and the smuggler crew of the Uhumelé are caught in the crossfire between two criminal gangs, both of whom want what the crew has. But Captain Heren still has one trick left to play—and it will result in a dangerous surprise for Jedi Master K’Kruhk, who is half a galaxy away and who believes himself to be out of peril.
    Bomo Greenbark and his companions have been imprisoned, enslaved, and tortured, but now Bomo has found a way out. Freedom beckons, but honor demands he take action to free his friends. And action means his captors are about to see a very, very dangerous side of him.
    Meanwhile, Master K'Kruhk discovers that those under his protection are more in need of it than ever. Bad guys beware!
    Evil has had its day, it's time for the forces of good to strike back!
    A resolute few fight for their lives and the lives of their friends in a final fight with serious consequences for those left standing.
    Confronted with a nightmare scenario, Jedi Master K’Kruhk is thrust into a battle unlike any he has ever faced. To save those in his care, he may be forced to lose himself. Elsewhere, Bomo Greenbark unleashes an unrivaled fury upon the captors of the crew of the Uhumelé. His friends will have their freedom, and he will have his revenge!
