Publisher's summary

Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens with this exclusive ebook short story set shortly before the events of the film, featuring a quick-witted mercenary who takes big risks for bigger rewards—and now faces the challenge that will take her to the edge.

There are plenty of mercenaries, spies, and guns for hire in the galaxy. But probably none as dangerous and determined as Bazine Netal. A master of disguise—and lethal with a blade, a blaster, or bare handed—she learned from the best. Now it’s her turn to be the teacher—even if schooling an eager but inexperienced recruit in the tricks of her trade is the last thing she wants to do. But it’s the only way to score the ship she needs to pull off her latest job.

An anonymous client has hired Bazine to track down an ex-stormtrooper and recover the mysterious package he’s safeguarding. Payment for the mission promises to be astronomical, but the obstacles facing Bazine will prove to be formidable. And though her eager new sidekick has cyber skills crucial to the mission, only Bazine’s razor-sharp talents will mean the difference between success or failure—and life or death.

Great short story

This was a great short story. And the performance was good. I can't wait for episode seven to see how they are linked.

Is the Author even familiar with Star Wars?

What did you like best about The Perfect Weapon? What did you like least?

You know right off when a reference to a toilet and not a refresher that this author will not stick to the Star Wars universe of terminology. These new canon timeline authors seem to really suck.

Refreshing and fun.

Ever since seeing The Force Awakens I have been wondering who the girl at Maz's was. Now I know she is not just a pawn of The First Order, but is instead a certified BAMF.

A New Piece in the SW Universe

Very short story about a bounty hunter of sorts. A small glimpse into the SW universe with no real magnificent ties to the grand cadre of the movies. There are some hints and elements to where it belongs in the new Force Awakens, but nothing more than a small episode behind the scenes.

Short But Sweet, Worth the Read.

A very entertaining back story of a TFA character that (hopefully) has a lot more to add in future SW canon.

I enjoyed the story but in the end there was nothing learned to really expand the universe
