Star Wars: Darth Vader Vol. 5: The Shadow's Shadow (Star Wars: Darth Vader, 5)

Darth Vader in partnership with a sworn enemy! But as the Dark Lord of the Smith allies with Saéb, once the handmaiden of Padém Amidala, who is leading whom to their doom? A deep secret is revealed, and it all leads back to Padém...and her last words. As Vader targets a corrupt Imperial governor, is he still driven by his quest for order -- or has his encounter with shades from the past awoken new motivations? Meanwhile, few figures in the galaxy are more different than Saéb and the assassin, Ochi of Bestoon. So when they're forced to work together and the knives inevitably come out, who's still standing at the end? Plus, we all know about Anakin Skywalker's aversion to finely ground particulate matter -- and now there's a sandstorm coming for Darth Vader!
