Publisher's summary[]
The Emperor is back—and this time he's out for blood! Following his battle with Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: Dark Empire II, Emperor Palpatine was forced to occupy an inferior clone-body. That body is now aging rapidly, and Palpatine's final, irrevocable end is near unless he can infuse his line of clones with genetic material from a Jedi bloodline. His target: Han and Leia's youngest child, Anakin!
