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?

great entry into the canon of star wars

What does Marc Thompson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Sound, voices, atmosphere

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes even though I broke it up into a couple of sittings. It was as compelling as a movie for me, the characters and settings were beautifully done and the atmosphere of events came to life.

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.

Another outstanding book by Timothy Zahn

Timothy Zahn knocked it out of the park again. He has an excellent way of capturing the essence of Star Wars and it's characters in a way the holds so true to the original Trilogy. Marc Thompson also came through with flying colors as always.

Oceans Eleven meets Star Wars

This is a fun easy listen from the creator of the Thrawn Trilogy. The Narrator does a phenomenal job jumping between voices. I thought the plot got a bit outlandish at times but this is Star Wars after all so you have to be expecting things to be a bit out there. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the movies.
