Galaxy of Fear: Spore is the ninth book in the young readers Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear series.
Publisher's summary
Tash, Zak, and Uncle Hoole stop on the planet Ithor for supplies, including a mineral the Shroud needs for its engines. The mineral isn't available on Ithor, but one of the Ithorians knows where they can find it—on a mining colony in the middle of a space slug-filled asteroid belt. The journey to the colony is filled with many dangers. But nothing prepares Hoole, Tash, and Zak for what they meet when they reach their destination. An ancient life-form has been released from its tomb. It has lurked there, waiting, for many years. It cannot be seen. It is made from pure evil. And its name is Spore.
Plot summary
Needing raw materials to keep their starship running, Mammon Hoole, Tash and Zak Arranda venture into an asteroid field near Ithor, with Fandomar Nadon as their guide. She is horrified to discover that Spore, an ancient biological threat, has been released from its asteroid tomb. Jerec, dark servant of the Emperor, wishes to use Spore to give him control of the Empire. Spore is a genetically engineered hive-mind that can spread its consciousness through its hosts. Tash defeats it by exposing its original host to the vacuum of space.
Continuity
Fandomar is the wife of Momaw Nadon, who was featured in The Sand Tender: The Hammerhead's Tale (1995). Jerec was the principal villain in the 1997 videogame Star Wars:Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.[1]
