SPOILER ALERT: This Will Spoil The Plot of the Book!

Boba Fett is finishing up his latest mission and is pondering his future and past. He knows he’s dying and wants to find the daughter he hasn’t seen in 50 years as well as determine who will replace him as Mandalore. He also hopes to find a way to cheat death.

It has been sixteen days since the GA raid at Centerpoint. On Coruscant, Ben and Jacen wait to meet with Chief Omas and discuss that the Corellians are turning their backs on the Solo family. Jacen tries to persuade Omas to make a preemptive strike against Corellian. Admiral Niathal agrees, but Omas is weary and knows he won’t have the backing of the Senate or the Jedi.

Afterwards Jacen sees several Corellian protestors and begins to wonder what they will do to Coruscant if a war does indeed breakout. Ben pledges to stand by Jacen, and Jacen tells him some things will need to be kept secret. He is still troubled; however, that he cannot remember what happened to Brisha Syo and Nelani Dinn on the asteroid, although Jacen did say they were killed.

On Kamino, Fett learns he has a year to live. The original cloning information has been taken by Taun We who has fled the planet. Fett decides to go after her to and auction the information off to the highest bidder.

Han and Leia sneak back to Corellia where they find a message waiting for them from someone named Dur Gejjen that Thrackan Sal-Solo has put a price on their head.

Luke is still haunted by the cloaked figure, but has yet to learn who it is despite a familiar feeling he gets. He and Mara discuss his uneasiness with Jacen particularly concerning his time with Ben. Luke is also unhappy that Jacen continues to project himself into the future. Mara defends Jacen saying he’s a great teacher.

In his apartment, Jacen contemplates his secret family of Tenal Ka and daughter wishing they could be together. He also misses his brother Anakin who walked a similar path the Jacen is now on.

Jacen meets with Niathal in private, but their taxi is rocked by an explosion from a terrorist attack on the center of Coruscant. While most believe it was Corellia, Jacen secretly wonders if Lumiya played a roll.

Mara and Luke feel the tremor in the Force and make their way to the Senate. They find Omas to discuss the situation. Jacen surprises them from behind as neither of them can feel him in the Force. Luke scolds him as a show off.

Boba Fett meets with Goran Beviin on Taurus. They talk about the price that is out on the entire Solo family. It seems that Fett’s daughter has taken the bounty. Fett’s daughter believes she killed her father 20 years earlier, but it was actually a clone. Afterwards, Fett finds a biotech company whose shares have been trading in a strange fashion over the last week. Before reaching his apartment, he’s intercepted by a young woman named Mirta Gev who holds out a small stone that he had once given to his wife. The stone was taken by the man who killed her and this young woman claims she is owed a bounty for killing this man. She knows where Fett’s wife is at.

Han is in a tavern when word comes about the attack on Coruscant. Gejjen approaches Han and offer his help to remove Thrackan Sal-Solo. HE asks if Han would replace Thrackan, but Han refuses. He also tells him of the bounty on his family. Han vows to kill Thrackan, but knows they better seek shelter right away.

Mirta reveals to Fett that his daughter does know he’s alive and hopes perhaps she’s had a change of heart, knowing she probably hasn’t. He accepts a small contract and offers Mirta a ride if she’ll take him to his daughter.

Omas asks Mara to head up a secret police force to watch for suspicious activity, but she and Luke decide they better talk it over. Jacen is anxious to hit the Corellian shipyards, by Omas wants to talk it over with Pellaeon.
