Written by some of today’s leading science fiction writers, these tales sweep us into a world where the only laws are cunning, force, and power—and only the bravest, craziest, and deadliest dare to tread. Here mercs and smugglers, gangsters and warriors fight toe to toe, side by side, and behind each other’s backs in the backwaters of a universe ripped apart by war. On Zelos II a man and a woman are held prisoner in a dark cell, each fighting in their own way for survival at the hands of Imperial captors—and a chance for escape that could cost one of them their life. On the tortured landscape of Ryloth, Fenig Nabon awaits a ship of women warriors to complete a dangerous deal: the smuggling of a troupe of dancers to the homeworld of the Hutts—only to get more than she bargained for. And in a stunning novella written especially for this collection by Hugo Award–winning, New York Times bestselling author Timothy Zahn and Michael A. Stackpole, Senator Garm Bel Iblis, believed dead at the hands of an Imperial assassin, teams up with Hal Horn in a duel against the Empire’s most dangerous agent. At stake are the plans for a terrifying new weapon called the Death Star—and the fate of both the Empire and the New Republic.

“At last we reveal ourselves to the Jedi…” They are the warriors whose thirst for power is matched only by their ruthlessness, but who are the Sith Lords? From the opening moments of A New Hope in which the imposing figure of Darth Vader strode onto the Tantive IV – and into movie history – to Kylo Ren’s memorable debut in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the Sith have proved that the bad guys have all the fun. This collection includes interviews with the actors who brought the Sith to life such as Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious), Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker), and Christopher Lee (Count Dooku), along with articles that explore these evil practitioners of the dark side. “Much of the best writing about the Star Wars franchise has appeared in the pages of Star Wars Insider Magazine.” – Manhattan Book Review
