But with each target, the bounty hunter must also be wary of Great Hunt rivals who are after exactly the same bounty. The bounty hunter’s Great Hunt contact Crysta Markon provides the bounty list: a brilliant Imperial admiral directing an invasion, a shadowy assassin who has never been seen by either targets or clients, the galaxy’s slipperiest con man, and an untouchable noble respected by friends and enemies alike. The bounty hunter begins the Great Hunt with a bang by stealing a powerful starship from which no target can hope to hide. After taking part in a winner-takes-all Grand Melee, the bounty hunter finally earns the right to join the Great Hunt.

The bounty hunter manages to secure the sponsorship of the crime lord Nem’ro the Hutt and heads to Dromund Kaas to fight for the Great Hunt’s final open slot. But when the bounty hunter’s mentor, Braden, is murdered by a cruel Mandalorian named Tarro Blood, the freelancer scrambles to find another way into the competition. A skilled bounty hunter sets out to enter the Great Hunt, a legendary competition in which the galaxy’s most accomplished warriors seek fame and glory by hunting down infamous, elusive, and supremely dangerous targets.
