Synopsis:
This book collects together the following issues from the
Empire series by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issue 23 : The
Bravery of being Out of Range
It was supposed to be an easy gig... transport a young woman
across the desert to the waiting arms of her friends. But
nothing’s ever easy for reformed smuggler BoShek, and he soon
finds himself in the middle of a struggle between a militant
cell of the Rebel Alliance and Imperial operatives - and in
direct conflict with his own desires to avoid galactic politics.
With the fires of civil war burning around him, BoShek may be
forced to make a stand with one side or the other... unless he
can make a run...
- Issues 24 &
25 : Idiot's Array
Han Solo and Chewbacca are tapped by the Rebel Alliance for
a mission that requires their special skills and knowledge of
the underworld. But for Han, it's a chance to get away from the
new responsibilities he's taken on since joining the Rebellion
and indulge his former free-booting ways. Visiting old haunts
brings chance meetings with old friends. But some friendships
may only be as deep as one's pockets, and when a fellow smuggler
learns of the Imperial bounty on their heads, Han and Chewie's
mini-vacation threatens to become a life sentence!
Beauty and beast join forces when smuggler Sheel Odala teams up
with Chewbacca to free a captive Han Solo from the clutches of
an Imperial-allied crime lord. If Odala's looks aren't stunning
enough, she's handy with a blaster, and is an old friend. True,
there are some trust issues -- seeing as she's the one who
betrayed Han to the Empire in the first place. And if that
doesn't raise the stakes, how about the impending arrival of a
certain heavy-breathing Dark Lord of the Sith?
- Issues 26 & 27 : "General" Skywalker
Luke Skywalker and Red Squadron fly escort for a top
secret Rebel Intelligence operation on a supposedly
unpopulated planet. A surprise Imperial patrol traps half the
squad on the ground, and jeopardizes the secrecy of the
mission. As things start to look even worse, Luke makes a
surprising discovery that dates back to the Clone Wars, a
discovery that can either save the Rebels or destroy them.
Luke Skywalker is a pilot for the Rebel Alliance and a
Jedi-in-training, but when a Rebel intel team gets pinned down
by an unexpected Imperial patrol Luke receives an unexpected
promotion-to General! It's all part of Commander Narra's plan
to enlist the aid of an unexpected ally that could turn the
tables on the Imperials.
