"Fourteen year old Ezra lives alone on the outer rim planet of Lothal. He fends for himself by picking up odd jobs and hustling the unsuspecting Stormtrooper. Arena Day arrives - an underground tournament where mighty beasts battle to the finish and all the swindlers, gamblers, and no-gooders come from all corners of the planet to make a profit - Ezra is whisked into an unlikely partnership with the fearsome bounty hunter Bossk and enmeshed in a high-stakes chase against an endless fleet of troopers. Ezra isn't willing to trtust anyone, but he soon learns that surviving doesn't always mean just fending for himself"--P. [4] of cover.
