January 04, 2025Dark Forces: Jedi Knight: SWBTF #278
Rebel Agent Kyle Katarn will do anything to avenge his father’s death at the hands of the Empire. When Kyle is threatened by a droid named 8t88 in a Nar Shaddaa bar, he tracks down the droid and secures a mysterious disk that could put him on the path to learning why his father was killed. Kyle soon finds that the disk contains information about a map to the Valley of the Jedi, a place his father had stumbled upon and kept secret. Now it’s a race between Kyle and the Empire to see who can get to the map—and the Valley—first. And after all this time, you would think the Rebel Alliance would trust Kyle, but Jan Orrs has been sent to follow and eliminate Kyle if need be!
