About this ebook
Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens with this exclusive ebook short story set shortly before the events of the film, featuring a quick-witted mercenary who takes big risks for bigger rewards—and now faces the challenge that will take her to the edge.
There are plenty of mercenaries, spies, and guns for hire in the galaxy. But probably none as dangerous and determined as Bazine Netal. A master of disguise—and lethal with a blade, a blaster, or bare handed—she learned from the best. Now it’s her turn to be the teacher—even if schooling an eager but inexperienced recruit in the tricks of her trade is the last thing she wants to do. But it’s the only way to score the ship she needs to pull off her latest job.
An anonymous client has hired Bazine to track down an ex-stormtrooper and recover the mysterious package he’s safeguarding. Payment for the mission promises to be astronomical, but the obstacles facing Bazine will prove to be formidable. And though her eager new sidekick has cyber skills crucial to the mission, only Bazine’s razor-sharp talents will mean the difference between success or failure—and life or death.

A good read prior to TFA, but I'm not sure how necessary this short will be after the movie's release. As a question-filled hold-me-over between now and December 18th, it's top notch!

Interesting to get a story that isn't from one of the main "sides" (e.g. Empire/Rebellion) Kind of an abrupt ending, would have liked a little more but still a good read.

I read this after seeing The Force Awakens, and it tells a cool story about a character with a minor role in the movie. The character, Bazine was made very interesting for a short story. It is also cool other elements that tie into the movie. Overall easily worth the 2 bucks.
