Spore (Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, Book 9)

Tash Zak and Uncle Hoole stop on the planet Ithor for supplies including a mineral the Shroud needs for its engines. The mineral isnt available on Ithor but one of the Ithorians knows where they can find it--on a mining colony in the middle of a space slug-filled asteroid belt. The journey to the colony is filled with many dangers. But nothing prepares Hoole Tash and Zak for what they meet when they reach their destination. An ancient life-form has been released from its tomb. It has lurked there waiting for many years. It cannot be seen. It is made from pure evil. And its name is Spore.
