Dr. Aphra teams up with Darth Vader himself in the original script to the audiobook production-an expanded adaptation of the critically acclaimed Marvel comics series.Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra, rogue archaeologist, is in trouble again.A pioneer in the field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra recognizes no law, has no fear, and possesses no impulse control. To her, the true worth of the galactic relics she discovers is found not in a museum but in an arsenal. This viewpoint has led to a lot of misunderstandings. After her latest plan goes horribly wrong, Aphras roguish ways are on the verge of catching up to her. Thats when suddenly Darth Vader, terror of the galaxy, swoops in with his lightsaber and . . . saves her life?Dont get her wrong-its not like shes ungrateful. Sure, her new boss is a lord of the Sith. And okay, she may have just become a pawn in a deadly game being played by him and his boss, who happens to be the Galactic Emperor. And yes, the life expectancy of anyone who disappoints Vader can be measured in seconds.But shes back doing what she does best. Shes got a ship to fly, a heist to pull, and two unorthodox but effective metal buddies: Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in etiquette, customs, translation, and torture; and BT-1, an astromech loaded with enough firepower to take down a battlecruiser. Together, they might just find a way to get the job done and avoid the deadly performance review that waits at its conclusion.Just kidding. Shes doomed.
