Publisher's summary

BATTLE OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS! Only one man can stop BOBA FETT from executing his long sought vengeance. But can VALANCE survive the battle of the two greatest bounty hunters of their age? Why did NAKANO LASH betray her team during their doomed mission to CORELLIA? The answer could ignite an all-out crime war across the underworld and change Valance's life forever.

Plot summary

GALAXY'S DEADLIEST PART 5 The High Cost of Revenge Nakano Lash betrayed the bounty hunter crew she led by killing their client, Khamus—the heir of the Mourner's Wail Syndicate—which incited a war between the Mourner's Wail and their rival, the Unbroken Clan. Years later, Lash reemerged and the price on her head attracted hordes of hunters—including the remains of her old crew: the Trandoshan Bossk; Boba Fett; the human T'onga, whose brother, T'ongor, died as a result of Lash's actions, and her cyborg protégé Valance, who T'onga ambushed and forced to help her find Lash. Lash revealed that her old team had been hired to murder Krynthia, the heir to the Mourner's Wail, who was pregnant with Khamus' child. Lash instead escaped with the mortally wounded Krynthia and raised the child in secret, hoping to use her to end the violent syndicate war. The truth caused T'onga to end her quest for vengeance. But Boba Fett is still out for blood....
