Publisher's summary

To make his biggest score, Han's ready to take even bigger risks.

But even he can't do this job solo.

Han Solo should be basking in his moment of glory. After all, the cocky smuggler and captain of the Millennium Falcon just played a key role in the daring raid that destroyed the Death Star and landed the first serious blow to the Empire in its war against the Rebel Alliance. But after losing the reward his heroics earned him, Han's got nothing to celebrate. Especially since he's deep in debt to the ruthless crime lord Jabba the Hutt. There's a bounty on Han's head - and if he can't cough up the credits, he'll surely pay with his hide. The only thing that can save him is a king's ransom. Or maybe a gangster's fortune?

That's what a mysterious stranger is offering in exchange for Han's less-than-legal help with a riskier-than-usual caper. The payoff will be more than enough for Han to settle up with Jabba - and ensure he never has to haggle with the Hutts again.

All he has to do is infiltrate the ultra-fortified stronghold of a Black Sun crime syndicate underboss and crack the galaxy's most notoriously impregnable safe. It sounds like a job for miracle workers...or madmen. So Han assembles a gallery of rogues who are a little of both - including his indispensable sidekick Chewbacca and the cunning Lando Calrissian. If anyone can dodge, deceive, and defeat heavily armed thugs, killer droids, and Imperial agents alike - and pull off the heist of the century - it's Solo's scoundrels. But will their crime really pay, or will it cost them the ultimate price?

On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

Ocean's 11 meets Star Wars

Would you listen to Scoundrels: Star Wars again? Why?

I would indeed listen to Scoundrels again. It was amazingly written by Timothy Zahn and well voiced by Marc Thompson. The addition of music and sound effects really enhanced the listening experience.

What other book might you compare Scoundrels: Star Wars to and why?

I can't specifically think of any other books I'd compare this book to, but I would say it is one of Zahn's best Star Wars novels.

Which character – as performed by Marc Thompson – was your favorite?

It is a toss up between Han Solo and Lando Calrissian. He really capture both characters voices and mannerisms very well.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Ocean's 11 Meets Star Wars

Any additional comments?

I can not recommend this book to Star Wars fans enough. Even fans of heists in general might enjoy this book.

Zahn and Thompson great as ever

I enjoyed the story, the setup, the characterization and performance a lot. Fun twists at the end. It reminded me of a mix of Usual Suspects and Oceans 11.

One of My Favorites

Zahn and Thompson are in top form in this fantastic legends adventure. This is a superb heist story with all the action and intrigue missing from recent Star Wars productions.

Excellent!!

Some fun twists and turns in this one that are trademarks of master author Timothy Zahn. If you love a good heist — who doesn’t? — STAR WARS: SCOUNDRELS is your cup of caf.

A wonderful Star Wars story!!

without giving much away, this story gives the listener a fun and exciting story that does not include The Skywalkers or The Force.
Taking place between Episode 4 and 5, you see another side of the Galaxy Far Far Away!

HAVE FUN!

Captivating, entertaining, and fun!

Timothy Zahn books narrated by Marc Thompson will never not be good. This Star Wars tale perfectly captures the characters we love and spins an entertaining and suspenseful tale with twists and turns in every chapter. I loved this book.
