This book collects together the following comic stories
-
Days of Fear
When fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick and his
small-time con artist cohort Gryph part ways with
their friends on the Last Resort, the odd couple
sets out to score a new ship. Soon enough, the two
find that helping themselves to something they can't
afford carries a much higher price than they
bargained for! Meanwhile, a sinister power from
across the galaxy begins hunting the Last Resort,
determined to stop at nothing until the ship's
owners are within his grasp!
In the ancient past, unexpected twists lurk at every
turn as power-mad evildoers hunt our heroes amidst a
galaxy spanning war set nearly 4,000 years before
Luke Skywalker! A deadly new threat targets Camper,
the seriously senile captain of the renegade vessel
The Last Resort, and his youthful guardian Jarael
must risk everything to try and save him, even if
it's impossible. Meanwhile, fugitive Padawan Zayne
Carrick and the conniving Gryph have mistakenly
tricked their way into their most dangerous
predicament yet -- surrounded by an army they are
trying to escape on a planet that's about to become
the biggest battlefront in the galaxy. The second
someone recognizes them, they're toast, assuming
that a stray blaster bolt doesn't get them first!
Fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick faces his darkest
moments so far as a desperate attempt to avert a
cataclysmic disaster drives him into the arms of his
enemies. Zayne puts his life on the line in an
attempt to save those who don't even realize the
grave fate they face, but will his sacrifice be in
vain? Meanwhile, the small-time con Gryph has
happened upon big-time profit, but if he doesn't
keep his greed in check, this seeming success story
could quickly turn tragic!

Nights of Anger
When Camper, the senile owner of the Last
Resort, falls frighteningly ill, his young protector
Jarael will risk everything to try and save him,
even if that means seeking a cure on Arkania, a
homeworld she has never seen, where genetic
"offshoots" like her and Camper are
despised, even criminalized. Yet, once on Arkania,
Jarael's troubles will run more than skin deep, for
if her intentions are revealed, powerful forces that
have been hunting Camper for years will stop at
nothing to reclaim the elderly refugee-and the
terrible secret he carries within him!
Keeper of a terrible secret, addled inventor Camper
spent most of his life running from Adascorp, the
most powerful organization on his homeworld of
Arkania. Now he lies gravely ill aboard the Arkanian
Legacy, the colossal flagship of the corporation,
his life in the hands of its owner-Lord Adasca! Does
the young lord really intend to cure Camper and make
amends for his predecessors' relentless hunt of the
old man?
Elsewhere in the galaxy, the ship carrying fugitive
Padawan Zayne Carrick gets caught in a massive space
battle. Whether his captors know victory or defeat,
Zayne faces certain doom either way. Time to come up
with an escape plan-and quick!
Aboard the Arkanian Legacy, flagship of the
corporation Adascorp, the elderly Camper and his
young protector Jarael are separated by closed
doors, each worrying about the fate of the other.
Jarael worries a cure might not be found for the
grave illness she brought Camper here to treat.
Camper's concern, however, rests on the realization
that their benefactor Lord Adasca has a terrible
plan underfoot-one that will put Jarael, himself,
and the entire galaxy in great danger.
