Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “THAT’S NO MOON.” –Obi-Wan Kenobi The Death Star’s name says it all, with bone-chilling accuracy. It is a virtual world unto itself–equipped with uncanny power for a singularly brutal purpose: to obliterate entire planets in the blink of an eye. Its annihilation of the planet Alderaan, at the merciless command of Grand Moff Tarkin, lives in infamy. And its own ultimate destruction, at the hands of Luke Skywalker, is the stuff of legend. But what is the whole story, and who are the players, behind the creation of this world-killing satellite of doom? The near extermination of the Jedi order cleared the way for Palpatine–power-hungry Senator and Sith Lord–to seize control of the Republic, declare himself Emperor, and usher in a fearsome, totalitarian regime. But even with the dreaded Darth Vader enforcing Palpatine’s sinister will, the threat of rebellion still looms. And the Emperor knows that only abject fear–and the ability to punish dissent with devastating consequences–can ensure his unchallenged control of the galaxy. Enter ambitious and ruthless government official Wilhuff Tarkin, architect of the Emperor’s terrifying dream come true. From inception to completion, construction of the unprecedented Death Star is awash in the intrigues, hidden agendas, unexpected revelations, and daring gambits of those involved on every level. The brightest minds and boldest egos, the most ambitious and corrupt, the desperate and the devious, all have a stake in the Death Star–and its potential to control the fate of the galaxy. Soldiers and slaves, loyalists and Rebels, spies and avengers, the innocent and the evil–all their paths and fates will cross and intertwine as the Death Star moves from its maiden voyage to its final showdown. And a shadowy chapter of Star Wars history is stunningly illuminated in a thrilling, unforgettable adventure. Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!
Download or read book Warriors of Phaeton Axis written by Leora Gonzales and published by Leora Gonzales. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Phaeton’s master interrogator, Axis was often called upon to handle the most difficult missions. His natural ability to sniff out lies, plus his intense training, had never let him down. Until it did. Questioning his place amongst the brethren he’d failed, the Skrammon warrior has been living on the planet Euphoria in the Pleasure Sector trying to work through his mistakes. Although technically on leave, the Phaeton Council requested one small favor in exchange for the free time he’d been granted. Keep an eye out for anything unusual. Nova Rodriguez is more than a little unusual, and that’s not counting the fact that she’s a human imprisoned in a space brothel. The details on how she ended up in a whorehouse versus her original destination are more than a little murky, but one thing is completely clear: she needs to get the f$#% off this planet before Cruum, the gross alien master with a penchant for torture, sells her off to the highest bidder. With sheer determination, the help of a couple of sex kittens, and a list of rules to live by, Nova comes up with a plan: find a Phaeton—preferably the one she’d seen in the market and can’t stop thinking about—and convince him to help her. Not only does her life depend on it, so do the lives of the other two women Cruum has already sold. Trigger Warning: dark content, escape from trafficking
