Publisher's summary
"WORST AMONG EQUALS" PART THREE! With a huge price on their heads, rogue archaeologist DOCTOR APHRA and her murder-droid companion TRIPLE-ZERO are hunted wherever they run. Of all their pursuers, you might think the deadliest danger comes from the EMPIRE-backed cops…or the deranged undead bounty hunter…or the relentless monster trappers — right? Nope. Because the entire population has tuned in to watch the chase through Triple-Zero's eyes, and EVERYONE has a shot at that reward…

Plot summary
In the underworld of Milvayne City, Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra and Triple-Zero are confronted by the reanimated bounty hunter Tam Posla and a hostile, newly reassembled BT-1. Their escape is complicated by the sudden arrival of monster hunters Winloss and Nokk, who have a score to settle with Aphra. They use the ensuing chaos, as the hunters engage BT-1, to flee, keenly aware of the ticking clock on the bombs implanted within them. Unseen, the sadistic Cornelius Evazan monitors the events. He decides to broadcast the chase across the entire city, turning Aphra and Triple-Zero into public fugitives with a bounty on their heads.
The duo is briefly rescued by the scavenger girl Vulaada Klam, who arrives on a smog-collecting bloatbarge. During a moment of reflection, Aphra admits to Vulaada her own selfish, survival-at-all-costs nature, revealing her vulnerability as she looks at a hologram of her lost love, Magna Tolvan. The respite is short-lived as the undead Posla and his soldiers corner them. Triple-Zero predictably takes Vulaada hostage, but the plan backfires. Motivated by the city-wide bounty, Vulaada shoots Triple-Zero to free herself, declares her intention to collect the reward, and knocks Aphra unconscious.
