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 into the kind of seat-of-your-pants adventure only Star Wars can provide!

The perfect starting point for new readers, this story kicks off the next phase in Zayne’s life with a long-shot swindle gone wrong! 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!

Darth Krayt may finally be captured and defeated in the trap set by Cade Skywalker and Jedi Master of old Celeste Morne. But Emperor Krayt might no longer be the most powerful Sith lord in the galaxy. Will Cade and Celeste have another Sith to defeat . . . or join?

Cade Skywalker just wants to be left alone. But when you and your friends have just blown up half of the Sith Temple, cut down two of Emperor Darth Krayt’s most trusted minions, and you happen to be the last known heir of the Skywalker legacy, people—bad people, and lots of them—are going to come knocking.

The Empire’s retaliatory genocide on Mon Calamari is just the icing on the cake. Cade and his bounty-hunter band realize that something must be done! If only there was somebody to help Cade save the galaxy and get the Sith off his back. Maybe a bunch of Jedi?

The secrets of the Hidden Temple are revealed—along with a spy who was once a friend!

• This is the future of Star Wars, the continuation of the story that started in the original trilogy, and none of it has been seen before.

When a group of preeminent archaeologists discovers a prehistoric map to an ancient tomb, they have no idea that they will spend the rest of their lives making sure that it does not fall into the wrong hands. Now, with Nazis hot on their trail, they entrust Indiana Jones with the map and a cryptic warning: “Some mysteries are best left undiscovered.” Indy knows that he has to keep the artifact out of the hands of the Nazis, but are his motivations truly altruistic or has he let his curiosity cloud his perspective?

It’s a race around the globe as Indiana Jones attempts to stop a group of Hitler’s Nazi elite from harnessing an ancient power of unrivaled destructive force that has been hidden for millennia in the mysterious Tomb of the Gods!

“. . . plenty of mystery and fast-paced action and adventure to keep me salivating for more.” —Comicsbulletin.com
