Synopsis:
Imperial agent Jahan Cross returns to his homeworld of
Alderaan for a celebration hosted by Bail Organa in
honor of the current Count Dooku. But the situation
turns deadly when an assassin kills the Count, and Cross
finds himself working both sides of the intrigue!
Thus begins a new assignment for Cross: one that will
tear at his loyalties, strain his friendships, and bring
him into close contact with his own estranged father.
Cross doesn’t like his assignment or the politicians he
is forced to work with. Yet dealing with all of that is
easier than coming to terms with his growing respect for
a boy whose father he killed, especially when that boy
is supposed to be merely a political pawn of the Empire.
When attackers kidnap the boy, Cross finds himself
turning his back on his mission and putting his life on
the line for a "pawn". The Imperial Navy
has arrived and Agent Cross has been officially told to
stand down from his mission overseeing the election of a
regent for the young Duke of Serenno. But Cross is not
about to allow an innocent boy to be used as a
disposable pawn - even if it serves the Empire's
short-term goals. Everyone, including Boba Fett, is
after the young Count Dooku. As Cross and the Count’s
loyal security guard attempt to whisk the boy to safety,
they are surrounded by enemies! In the past, Cross had
the power and authority of the Empire behind him. Now he
has nothing but his fists! |
