The rogue archaeologist returns - with a new crew and a new mission! With the Rebel Alliance on the run after their defeat at the Battle of Hoth, it's never been a more dangerous time for outlaws and scoundrels.

But Ronen Tagge, heir to the powerful Tagge family, also has his eyes on the prize. Do Aphra and her team stand a chance at fortune and glory? Or could there be a traitor in their midst?

Someone sinister has put a price on Doctor Aphra's head… and it's none other than Domina Tagge! Now Aphra finds herself running for her life, trying to shake every bounty hunter on her tail. But one of those hunters is Aphra's angry ex Sana Starros — and for Sana, it's personal! Aphra can't out-think Domina or outrun Sana… so what choice does she have left? Perhaps locating a mysterious piece of tech that could shift the balance of the galactic civil war? Aphra's desperate hunt takes her to Corellia — but unfortunately for her, that's right on Sana's doorstep. And our roguish doctor isn't the only one with an eye on this prize…

Doctor Aphra's adventures continue against the backdrop of War of the Bounty Hunters! Aphra and Sana Starros discover an eerie, abandoned ship... but on board they will discover a nightmarish horror not seen in the galaxy for untold eons. And to make things worse, they must contend with the fearsome bounty hunter Durge! Then, a mysterious invitation leads Aphra and Sana to an exclusive party — teeming with scum and villainy! Can they survive the underworld social event of the century? Or will their cover be blown by a familiar face with an agenda of their own? Face to face with the one person she hoped she'd never see again, this time the not-so-good Doctor is in trouble so deep she might not be able to talk her way out...

A deadly game for the galaxy's trickiest players! Doctor Aphra and Sana Starros have escaped the Vermillion, but there's no evading the Crimson Dawn: their spies are everywhere! As Domina Tagge contends with moles within her corporation and Aphra struggles with the damage inflicted on her by a powerful artifact, the two strike one last bargain...but who can Aphra really trust? Then, our daring duo stumble upon a strange ritual – and an even stranger enemy! Surely their story can't end like this, at the hands of the practitioner of an ancient cult...can it?!

The Spark Eternal corrupts everything it touches, and Doctor Aphra is no exception! Now, trapped inside her own tainted mind, Aphra's only hope for escape lies in her own memories — but can she find a way out before the Spark consumes her completely?

Sana is determined to bring back Doctor Aphra, no matter the cost! But can she triumph - or will the Spark destroy Sana, Aphra and everyone they love?

Meanwhile, Ronen and Domina clash over the Tagge Corporation's future, and Sana is caught in the middle!

Then, trapped in a warehouse full of deadly battle droids, our not-so-good Doctor fights for her life! But she's about to come face-to-face with the one enemy she never expected to see again! As the Tagge Fleet burns and the galaxy reels, Doctor Aphra finds herself all alone. But in an ancient ruin on a desolate planet, she may finally uncover the answers that she's been hunting for her entire life!

Two estranged friends find themselves on opposing sides of the Battle of Eriadu. Jedi Padawan Gavi fights for light and life, while Driggit Parse sits at the right hand of the villainous Warden. When the two finally meet again after Driggit's betrayal, it's on the front lines. Can their old friendship be salvaged amidst a war?

When an important Republic droid is captured by the ruthless Nihil commander called the Warden, Crash Ongwa sends Jedi Padawan turned freedom fighter Ruu to rescue it from the Warden's clutches.
