Synopsis:
This book collects together the following issues from the
Crimson Empire: Council of Blood series by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issue 1:
Following the death of Carnor Jax in the first Crimson
Empire series, the Empire suddenly finds itself devoid of a
strong leader. The Interim Council is assembled to manage the
affairs of the Empire until a new emperor can take the throne,
yet something is amiss. Assassinations begin to whittle down the
numbers of the council, causing panic and suspicion. Increased
raids on otherwise "safe" Rebel trade routes arouse
concern within the Republic. And just where, exactly, has Kir
Kanos gone?
- Issue 2:
As the death toll rises, so do the stakes for the future of the
Empire. Who is committing these assassinations of Interim
Council members and who within the Empire has the most to gain?
Why has Mirith Sinn abandoned the New Republic to fulfill a
personal vendetta? And how does Kir
Kanos fit into this jigsaw puzzle of intrigue?
- Issue 3:
While Grappa's pirates turn up the heat on the Rebel cargo
routes, the Interim Council sinks to unprecedented depths under
the leadership of Xandel Carivus. Mirith Sinn finds herself the
victim of the greatest deception of all when an old
"comrade" finds her amidst Grappa's thugs. Meanwhile,
where has Kir Kanos
gotten himself to?
- Issue 4:
The pieces of the mystery are slowly coming together as Kir
Kanos races towards the Zanibar homeworld, Xo, in an attempt
to save Mirith Sinn from a fate worse than death. But will he be
in time? Will personal animosities between the two be too great?
Meanwhile, Grappa the Hutt finds himself in an awkward
situation, with the heat of the Black Sun starting to make him
sweat.
- Issue 5:
It's revelation time, as the series begins to accelerate
toward its thrilling conclusion. A hair-raising rescue attempt
on the part of Kir Kanos
goes afoul while the Interim Council finally collapses beneath
its array of intrigues. And Grappa learns the meaning of
"caught between a rock and a hard place."
- Issue 6:
As the Baron's forces lay waste to the Interim Council's
guarded planet, Sinn and Kanos
hurtle toward the heat of the battle in an attempt to thwart the
escape of Feena D'Asta's clone. But will they arrive in time?
And what happened to the treacherous Grappa the Hutt? Has he
escaped unscathed from all the trouble that he raised?
