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....

↑ The events of Doctor Aphra (2016) 28 are set between issues 22 and 40 of the Star Wars: Doctor Aphra comic-book series. In issue 22, Accresker Jail is decommissioned. Crimson Reign 3 states that Jeremoch Colton had been in the wreckage-prison for over three years when Madelin Sun visited him. Crimson Reign 3 issue also states that he was imprisoned after the capture of the Tantive IV, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 0 BBY. The rebel base on Hoth is still intact during the events of Doctor Aphra 40, and Galactic Atlas dates the base's destruction to 3 ABY. Therefore, the events of Doctor Aphra 28 have to have occurred in that year.
