DIE HOHE REPUBLIK
Ty Yorrick ist die beste Monsterjägerin der Galaxis. Doch mit dem, was sie auf der fernen Grenzwelt Loreth erwartet, hatte sie nicht gerechnet. Dort soll sie sich um ein schreckliches Monster kümmern, das eine republikanische Siedlung verwüstet hat. Die Bestie zu fangen, wäre viel einfacher, wenn Ty sich nicht mit ihrem streitsüchtigen Droiden herumärgern müsste – und mit einem jungen Segredo, der unbedingt ihr Schüler werden will, was Ty überhaupt nicht gefällt! Kann Ty, die von Erinnerungen an ihre Vergangenheit heimgesucht wird, der Person entkommen, die sie einmal war, und das Geheimnis des furchterregenden Gretalax lüften?
Inhalt: US-STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC ADVENTURES: THE MONSTER OF TEMPLE PEAK #1-4

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A SINGLE VOLUME—TWO THRILLING NOVELS FROM THE STAR WARS EXPANDED UNIVERSE, FEATURING A YOUNG OBI-WAN KENOBI

Kenobi—John Jackson Miller
Tatooine, the harsh desert planet on the edge of civilized space, is an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding. Known to locals only as “Ben,” the bearded and robed offworlder shares nothing of his past and goes through great pains to remain an outsider. But when violence erupts between some of Tatooine’s farmers and a tribe of marauding Tusken Raiders, Ben finds himself drawn into the conflict. It’s a move that may reveal him as Obi-Wan Kenobi, hero of the Clone Wars and an enemy of the Empire—and endanger his true mission as protector of the galaxy’s last hope.

The Approaching Storm—Alan Dean Foster
The Republic is decaying and forces of discontent are threatening the collapse of the galaxy. At the request of the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine the Jedi Council sends two Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, along with their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee, to quell the growing secessionist movement on the planet Ansion. To succeed, the Jedi will have to fulfill near-impossible tasks, stalked all the while by an enemy sworn to see the negotiations unravel and the mission fail.

THREE THRILLING NOVELS BY K. W. JETER ABOUT THE BOUNTY HUNTER WARS, A TRILOGY IN THE STAR WARS EXPANDED UNIVERSE

The Mandalorian Armor
In the hope of quelling the Rebellion Prince Xizor proposes a cunning plan to the Emperor and Darth Vader: smash the power of the Bounty Hunter’s Guild by turning its members against each other, and the survivors against the Rebellion. The fiercely independent Boba Fett jumps at the chance to destroy his rivals but when he realizes the game is rigged, he finds himself the target of murderous factions, criminal conspiracies, and the evil at the Empire’s dark heart.

Slave Ship
The once powerful Bounty Hunter’s Guild has been shattered and the posting of an enormous bounty on a renegade Imperial stormtrooper is about to start a frenzy of murderous greed among its warring factions. Boba Fett embarks on his mission to claim the prize unaware that his every move leads him closer to a trap set by the devious Prince Xizor. Fett will die before becoming Xizor’s pawn in the Emperors war against the Rebels—and given the deadly challenge he now faces he may have to.

Hard Merchandise
When Boba Fett stumbles across evidence implicating Prince Xizor in the murder of Luke Skywalker’s aunt and uncle, he makes an enemy of someone who will kill to cover his tracks. Fett also also crosses paths with an amnesiac young woman named Neelah, who may be the key to the mystery—or a dangerous decoy leading him into a murderous ambush. Although Fett hopes to turn Xizor’s hidden enemies against him he knows that his chances for survival are slim—even for someone as skilled and relentless as Boba Fett.

• Obi-Wan has closed his journals for now and looks ahead as night falls and the sandstorm that has sequestered him begins to clear.
• But he discovers something unexpected in the hazards of the Jundland Wastes…a squad of ambushed stormtroopers left to die.
• But one still has a fighting chance…and Obi-Wan may very well risk everything to save a single injured imperial stormtrooper that can’t help but remind Kenobi of the clones he served with so long ago.

• Obi-Wan hat seine Tagebücher vorerst geschlossen und blickt nun voraus, als die Nacht hereinbricht und sich der Sandsturm, der ihn eingeschlossen hat, aufzulösen beginnt.
• Aber in den Gefahren der Jundland Wüste entdeckt er etwas Unerwartetes…eine Einheit überfallener Sturmtruppen, die zum Sterben zurückgelassen wurden.
• Doch einer hat immer noch eine Chance…und so riskiert Obi-Wan möglicherweise alles, um einen einzelnen, verletzten Imperialen Sturmtruppler zu retten, der nicht anders kann, als Kenobi an die Klone zu erinnern, mit denen er vor so langer Zeit gedient hat.
