Publisher's summary

MON MOTHMA MUST DIE! ADMIRAL ACKBAR is the only one with the knowledge of THE EMPIRE's plans to kill Mon Mothma. Enter POE DAMERON's parents, SHARA BEY and KES DAMERON, to thwart the threat! But do they have what it takes to take down the unknown assassin in time?

Opening crawl

THE KILL SHOT

On the eve of what could very well prove to be
a turning point in the brutal conflict between
the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, a
lone assassin prepares to undercut the
Rebels with one pull of a trigger.

But the Alliance comes prepared, as
ADMIRAL ACKBAR receives an urgent
message from the Rebel spy network warning
him of an attempt on the life of Rebel leader
MON MOTHMA.

Unable to refuse vital information, MOTHMA
pushes forward with the meeting--forcing
ACBKAR to enlist two of his most trusted
allies to uncover the mystery of her
would-be-assassin before it's too late….
