A group of wealthy Jabiimi have made a deal with the Empire: in exchange for their own freedom, they're going to give the rest of the planet's population to the Empire as slaves!
"Luke's only hope lies with Leia and the droids-but they have problems of their own! It's all part of an action-packed story that looks at some of the events from the Clone Wars in a new light!"

Howard's most-praised Conan stories, 'The Tower of the Elephant,' beginning next month. Civilization continues to prove unsavory to the Cimmerian barbarian as he navigates through the teeming villainy of the City of Thieves. Determined to profit from this den of peril, Conan attempts to rob a luxuriant temple only to find himself face-to-face with an unscrupulous power bent upon its own escape. Yet, even that may not be as troubling as a woman from Conan's past who has returned to the scene, unexpectedly."
