Publisher's summary

THE HAUNTING SECRET MISSION OF JANGO FETT! A DARK DROIDS TIE-IN! The BOUNTY HUNTERS must contend with the looming shadow of the sins of BOBA FETT's father! What is the secret that lurks on the mysterious droid outpost, THE HAVEN? Who is TARR KLIGSON and what is his connection to Jango Fett?

Opening crawl

THE PATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS, PART 1

A last-ditch effort to save Valance's slipping grip on humanity
forced T'onga and the bounty hunters to team up with Boba Fett
in exchange for coordinates to an enigmatic cybernetics fixer.

Their target? A name that has been whispered in the darkest
recesses of the underworld for decades, dating back to an ill-
fated mission undertaken by the legendary Jango Fett!

But time is not on the side of the hunters.

With her former mentor, Khel Tanna, angling for the captain's
seat, and a tempestuous crew of cutthroats that includes Bossk,
Zuckuss, 4-LOM, Durge and Deathstick, can T'onga hold the team
together long enough to save her friend?
