Honor Among Thieves: Star Wars Legends

By: James S.A. Corey

Narrated by: Marc Thompson, Ilyana Kadushin

Nebula and Hugo Award nominees Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck—writing as James S. A. Corey—make their Star Wars debut in this brand-new epic adventure featuring Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia Organa. The action begins after the destruction of the Death Star in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

When the Empire threatens the galaxy’s new hope, will Han, Luke, and Leia become its last chance?

When the mission is to extract a high-level rebel spy from the very heart of the Empire, Leia Organa knows the best man for the job is Han Solo—something the princess and the smuggler can finally agree on. After all, for a guy who broke into an Imperial cell block and helped destroy the Death Star, the assignment sounds simple enough.

But when Han locates the brash rebel agent, Scarlet Hark, she’s determined to stay behind enemy lines. A pirate plans to sell a cache of stolen secrets that the Empire would destroy entire worlds to protect—including the planet where Leia is currently meeting with rebel sympathizers. Scarlet wants to track down the thief and steal the bounty herself, and Han has no choice but to go along if he’s to keep everyone involved from getting themselves killed. From teeming city streets to a lethal jungle to a trap-filled alien temple, Han, Chewbacca, Leia, and their daring new comrade confront one ambush, double cross, and firestorm after another as they try to keep crucial intel out of Imperial hands.

But even with the crack support of Luke Skywalker’s x-wing squadron, the Alliance heroes may be hopelessly outgunned in their final battle for the highest of stakes: the power to liberate the galaxy from tyranny or ensure the Empire’s reign of darkness forever.

Includes a bonus short story, Silver and Scarlet, read by Ilyana Kadushin.

Critic reviews

“If you like Han Solo . . . you won’t want to miss Honor Among Thieves. . . . A novel that flies by quicker than the Millennium Falcon on the Kessel Run.”—Lightsaber Rattling

“A fast-paced romp.”—Big Shiny Robot

“Honor Among Thieves felt very ‘vintage.’ . . . It nailed the classic Star Wars vibe in a way I haven’t experienced in a long time.”—Making Star Wars

“One of the best Star Wars novels I’ve ever read.”—Knights’ Archive

“Absolutely [captures] the magic of Star Wars and the era it’s aiming for.”—Jedi News (UK)

“[The] most pleasurable ‘Classic Trilogy’ Star Wars reading in a long time . . . With masterful pacing and witty, descriptive dialogue, [Honor Among Thieves is] fun to read from start to finish. Adding a complexity of thought and action to a classic character like Han will satisfy those looking to indulge a deeper side.”—TheForce.net

“James S. A. Corey manages to tell a delightful tale filled with a fun plot, entertaining characters, and great descriptions that draw you in and bring the world to life. Fans of all sorts are sure to enjoy Empire and Rebellion: Honor Among Thieves.”—EUCantina.net

“Han’s voice can be rather tricky for writers to truly nail but it’s absolutely spot on here. Leia’s characterization has depth to it that not every writer gets and I particularly enjoyed watching Han’s slow realization that he’s not quite as different from the Rebels as he might have previously thought. Even Luke and Wedge who admittedly don’t get tons of page time, give off the right character vibes especially given the time period. . . . Strong characterization and an enjoyable storyline put the latest Expanded Universe addition solidly in the ‘give it a read’ category for just about everyone interested.”—Tosche Station

“This is a book that needs only knowledge of the movies to follow. If you’re a fan of Han Solo, or Princess Leia, or just space adventures in general, get on it.”—Fantasy Review Barn

A fun ride,and how can you not love Marc Thompson?

I really enjoyed the story but as always Thompson's performance is what makes it. He really has a grasp of Star Wars and coupled with the music and excellent sound effects production this is a fantastic listen.

Han is the man

Would you listen to Honor Among Thieves again? Why?

I would always recommend this book and will for sure listen again and again

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Was for sure a book I didn't want to end

Great Fun

An exciting OT era Han Solo romp written by the authors of The Expanse. The narration and sound design captured the classic feel of Star Wars and its beloved characters.

loved it

I actually liked it alot. it is a different adventure than what you usually get with han. totally worth it if you are a Star Wars fan.

Excellent adventure!

Another attention grabbing, riveting adventure in the Star Wars universe. Everything about this story was intriguing, kept my attention and interest and fueled my imagination. It also introduced me to a favorite new minor character, Scarlet Hark. I highly recommend this book.

Great Narrator.

I really like the narrator. He has done sever books in the series. Does a great job of capturing the likeness of established loved characters. Story was a fun ride. Prefer Scoundrels though.

Not a bad Star wars book.

I always like when Mark Thompson reads the books. He makes the story even better. All in all not a bad story.

Wish they wrote a whole series of these!!!

James S. A. Corey killed it as per usual. They did such an amazing job of embodying Han Solo and creating a gripping adventure that fit in with the main Star Wars storyline. One of my favorite things about the Star Wars universe is its so big and was created in such a way where it can continually be added to forever. This installment was a very great addition to the universe. When i seen James S. A. Corey wrote a Star Wars novel i JUMPED on it and wasnt the least bit disappointed. It was fun, entertaining, intelligent, and fleshed out our beloved characters a little more than they already were. If your a 'Star Wars' fan or an 'Expanse' fan you'll absolutely love this book. I just wish they wrote more...
