Plot summary

THE SCREAMING CITADEL
Book I, Part V

It is a period of opportunity. In a galaxy oppressed by
Imperial forces, there is little hope for the future. But
for those operating on the fringes, there is potential for
profit.

Rogue archaeologist Chelli Aphra is accompanied by young
Rebel pilot, Luke Skywalker, to the Citadel of Ktath'atn -
the Screaming Citadel - as they attempt to reactivate the
Rur Crystal, an artifact with the consciousness of ancient
Jedi inside.

However, the Queen intends to capture them when she
infects Han Solo with a symbiote, bringing him under the
control of her hive mind. Princess Leia and Sana Starros
attempt to launch a rescue mission, while Aphra decides to
launch her own attack, beginning with infecting Luke with
a symbiote as well....^[2]
