After he is framed for the murder of his fellow Jedi-in-training, Padawan Zayne Carrick's poor luck prevents him from clearing his name and throws him into many dangerous situations: from a run-in with a wealthy industrialist selling a planet-shattering weapon, to a revolt against a planet's Mandalorian occupiers, to a fearsome plague that threatens all life in the galaxy. Finally, a chance encounter leads to Zayne's confrontation with the Jedi Masters who massacred their own Padawans!
