Synopsis:
This book collects together the following comic stories:
-
Prophet Motive
The beginning of a whole new era for loner Jedi
Zayne Carrick launches our clever, clumsy hero, his
con-artist best friend Gryph, and the bold Jarael.
Gryph's got a plan to part some shady-dealing Chev
from their unjustly earned credits, but he'll need
more than a disguise to protect him when they catch
on to his game!
Former Padawan Zayne Carrick's new life takes a turn
for the worse as a con gone wrong puts his friends
in a deadly predicament! Fleecing the corrupt
financial exchange on Metellos 3 seemed like a
victimless crime to Zayne's friends Jarael and
Rohlan -- until they became the victims! Now
prisoners of a galactic criminal syndicate, Jarael
and Rohlan must find a way to survive long enough
for Zayne and his conniving cohort Gryph to rescue
them!
-
Faithful
Execution
Zayne Carrick and his crewmates Jarael, Slyssk, and
the Mandalorian Rohlan investigate a pleasure cruise
gone wrong! Something horrible has happened aboard
the Chancellor Fillorean; the former luxury ship now
drifts aimlessly in a space nebula. Upon boarding
the ghost ship, a host of asphyxiated passengers and
two lone survivors -- a tiny alien and his fierce
droid bodyguard -- are all that are found. Zayne and
his friends must solve the mystery and find what has
been causing the tragic and disturbing deaths --
before they also become victims.
-
Dueling
Ambitions
Combat sports and high-speed racing in the Old
Republic! Zayne and Gryph, now partners in
"crime", along with Jarael and Rohlan,
prepare to rip off the big-business world of sport
dueling. Gryph has himself in the perfect position
for the con, until Zayne enters himself into the
Open, Jarael becomes oddly distracted, and even
Rohlan finds himself taking part in the duels. If
that weren't enough, veteran warrior Goethar Kleej
inexplicably forces upon Zayne an incredible
handicap.
Zayne is entered in the "Dueling Duo"
Tandem Open, and he has had a special handicap
forced on him by threat of death! Aubin, the
inexperienced, backward son of a veteran
warrior-hero will be his partner in the preliminary
battles! Zayne must make sure his partner survives
the duels until the last round -- but he can't
figure out what is behind Aubin's entrance in the
battles. That is, until Jarael discovers that what
drives the duel sports is a slavery-based "farm
system" that provides the warriors.
Jarael, Gryph, Rohlan, and Zayne must save Aubin and
bring exposure to what horrors lie beneath the
surface of the duels.
It is championship day at the dueling Open: Zayne
struggles to protect his inept partner in the duels
while simultaneously trying to convince the boy's
warrior father that he and his friends have a plan
to save them and stop the slave "farm
system." Meanwhile, Gryph and Jarael set the
team's plan into action, doing their best to avoid
the duel official's security.
