Han Solo and Chewbacca take a mission to bring Scarlet Hark, rebel in deep cover, and along the way he’s taken by Bosin Ray – and he gets to compare how he might have turned out if he hadn’t joined in with the rebels… Bosin is in debt to Jaba, and Han is his way out. Scarlet has intel of a planet with a machine that interrupts jump space travel… They get her out… they join up with Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker… and go to the planet… and Han blows up the tech instead of letting anyone, even the rebels, have the technology. As you can see from the cover, this is definitely a Han Solo book; and Chewie is his faithful copilot as they head into the heart of the Empire to pick up a Rebel spy who's just called for extraction. The events here take place between Episodes IV & V and we learn of a rumored ancient artifact that has the power to keep ships and communication locked out of hyperspace and stuck in one star system. Needless to say that our heroes can't let this fall into the hands of the Empire and Han gets dragged into yet another mission helping the Rebels, even though he was just contracted to pick up and deliver the spy. Corey does a fantastic job capturing Han Solo's attitude and way of speaking, and that alone made the book worth reading. The great story and new characters bump it up to four stars.
Do You like book Honor Among Thieves (2014)?
Good story about Solo, felt cult off to the end. Like it was cut into parts to print another book.

Fun moments, good characterization, but overall kind of stagnant.

I liked it. It made me want to read more Star Wars books.
