Bücher von Sean Williams

Eine ungewöhnliche Auktion der Huttmatriarchin Tassaa Bareesh lässt die gesamte Galaxis aufhorchen. Abgesandte der Republik und des Sith-Imperiums mischen sich unter die Teilnehmer, um sich gegenseitig zu überbieten. Mit dabei ist auch ein Jedi-Padawan, der nur das Richtige tun will, eine Ex-Soldatin der republikanischen Eliteeinheit Blackstar, die eine Scharte auszuwetzen hat und ein geheimnisvoller Mandalorianer mit einer ganz persönlichen Agenda. Ihr gemeinsames Ziel liegt verborgen in einer hermetisch abgeriegelten Schatzkammer. Dabei handelt es sich um die Überreste eines Sternenkreuzers, der den Schlüssel zum Reichtum einer ganzen Welt in sich trägt. Doch der Schatz birgt tödliche Gefahren. Sith, Jedi und die Republik sehen sich plötzlich zu einer Entscheidung gezwungen, zu der sie kein Diplomat jemals hätte führen können: Wenn sie die Zerstörung der gesamten Galaxis noch verhindern wollen, bleibt ihnen nichts außer bedingungsloser Kooperation ...Basierend auf dem fesselnden Star Wars-Onlinegame von BioWare und LucasArts.

In the action-packed, drama-filled, politically incorrect sequel to The Last Man, The Last Man: Rise of the Pink Army picks up a few weeks after the events of the first book, with the introduction of various new characters and new theaters to the war. One thing becomes obvious to our antiheroes, everything comes with a price. Ian still continues his quest to become the man and leader he was born to be while slowly realizing that morality in this war is a sham; he understands this now completely, but is there anything left of the boy who would once jump through flaming hoops to help others? Mandy now faces a paradox, a powerful new ally who threatens not only her leadership of the Pink Army, but her relationship with Ian. From rocky beginnings in Ireland to war winning triumphs in North Africa and the Middle East, the battle between the Femtheists and the Pirates has now entered a new level of brutality and intensity, including a cliff-hanger that will leave readers on the edge of their seats waiting for the final bout.
