Publisher's summary

"WORST AMONG EQUALS" PART THREE! With a huge price on their heads, rogue archaeologist DOCTOR APHRA and her murder-droid companion TRIPLE-ZERO are hunted wherever they run. Of all their pursuers, you might think the deadliest danger comes from the EMPIRE-backed cops…or the deranged undead bounty hunter…or the relentless monster trappers — right? Nope. Because the entire population has tuned in to watch the chase through Triple-Zero's eyes, and EVERYONE has a shot at that reward…

Plot summary

WORST AMONG EQUALS Part III
Rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra is on the run! Implanted with a proximity bomb, she's forced to stay close to her nemesis, the psychotic droid Triple-Zero, or they will both face an explosive death! It's all part of a grand experiment by the evil Doctor Cornelius Evazan, who watches from afar as Aphra blunders through the many dangers of the ultra-lawful Imperial world Milvayne. Their only hope is to reach the one specialist who can safely remove the bombs before the timer runs out! But with a resurrected Tam Posla on their trail, thanks to his possession by a Force-powered fungus, things don't look good. And it seems that another old frenemy of Aphra's is back from the dead....
