About this listen

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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? Adventure Fantasy Fiction Science Fiction Space Opera Star Wars Interstellar Crime Bounty Hunter

The overall story was brilliant and as always Timothy Zahn and written a fucking awesome Star Wars book

Love it

Im glad, I stuck this out... the first couple chapters took a while for me to get into the story and characters seeing as all but Han and Chewie and Winter were unknown to me. But once it got rolling, there were plenty of twists, double crosses and then an awesome final reveal... My first Star Wars cannon were the Thrawn trillogy and then the two Hand of Thrawn books. I've tried a few others but none have the pacing and story telling style that match Episodes 4, 5 and 6 that Timothy Zahn manages to pull off.

A fun side story...

Really enjoyed this book. I loved the twists and turns waiting to see which of them was going to rip each other off. Surprised by the end of the book.

Definitely worth the time to listen to this story, enjoyable and fun. Lacking the Jedi and Sith mystery and suspense

Good not great but good

"Well first you're gonna need a crew made up of the worst scum, villainy and rogues in the galaxy. We're gonna need to pull off a series of simultaneous cons and jobs if we're gonna pull off this heist."

Solo's Eleven scores big

The story wasn't that great though. Good array of interesting characters I was able to distinguish from each other due to the talents of the voiceactor. I just kinda lost interest, having to relisten to chapters occasionally because I zoned out. Maybe Heist stories aren't my thing. Maybe there's too many Scoundrels with hidden agendas trying to one up each other.

Great voiceacting
