Publisher's summaryEdit

"BROKEN INSIDE" CONTINUES! Doctor Aphra may be in Imperial prison, but she's certainly not alone. Rumors have it that these bars are haunted, but this rogue archaeologist knows there's something much more valuable going on. Meanwhile, Aphra's got information - information that the Rebellion wants. But how far are they willing to go--and who are they willing to recruit – in order to get it?^[1]

Plot summaryEdit

THE CATASTROPHE CON
Part II

Rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra's exploits in
blackmailed servitude to the droid crime lord
Triple-Zero have landed her in Imperial
custody! Separated from her latest fling,
Inspector Magna Tolvan, and stuck in
Accresker Jail, Aphra and her fellow inmates
are nothing more than expendable troops for
the Empire.

The strange appearance of a ghostly entity has
dashed Aphra's escape plan, and the good
doctor struggles to resist the warden's
torturous interrogations about what's been
transpiring in the jail.

And to make matters worse, a certain angry
ex-flame from Aphra's troubled past might just
be back in the picture....
