Concluding a legendary comic-book vision of the period that followed the original STAR WARS trilogy! All the members of Emperor Palpatine's elite Royal Guard have been hunted down and killed except one: Kir Kanos, the Emperor's most loyal soldier. Fighting for his life, Kanos must find new allies - and a new identity as bounty hunter Kenix Kil! But Kanos' quest puts him in the crosshairs of both the remaining Empire forces and the leaders of the New Republic! Then, Boba Fett is alive! And the deadly assignments he takes on next will prove he's still the best of the best! Luke Skywalker establishes a new academy to train the next generation of Jedi Knights - but will he marry Mara Jade, once the Emperor's greatest assassin? The galaxy mourns the death of an iconic rebel hero - and 25 years after the events of A New Hope, Luke's New Jedi Order - which now includes Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo's children - must face the greatest threat since the Sith were defeated: the Yuuzhan Vong!
