Publisher's summary

Prince Xizor controls the largest merchant fleet in the galaxy—that makes him a valuable asset to the Empire and to the Emperor. And that makes him Darth Vader's hated enemy. As Luke, Leia, and Chewbacca head to Tatooine to rescue Han Solo, they get caught in the crossfire of the galaxy's deadliest rivalry… in the Shadows of the Empire.
