About this listen

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.

And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. 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.

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.

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.

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.

The Star Wars book for fans who've lost faith

I used to love Star Wars. Then the prequels happened, and then the Extended Universe (EU) happened, oozing up from the minds of dozens of hack writers to bloat and burden the already failing Star Wars universe beyond recognition and enjoyment for all but the most rabid of fanboys. It’s been a while since I’ve read a Star Wars novel.

It hasn’t been so long since I read a James S.A. Corey novel, though. Their Expanse series is one of the best things to happen to sci fi in a long time. So when I saw that he (they, as it’s the pen name of a writing duo) had written a Star Wars book I was simultaneously intrigued and repulsed. “It’s Star Wars EU,” my brain said. “It’s garbage.” “But it’s James S.A. Corey!” I argued, “How bad could it be?” “How bad would it be if an author you like embarrassed himself by writing for Star Wars?” countered my brain. Then I read a little about the book itself. It takes place between Star Wars and Empire. Hmm. It is primarily about Han Solo. Hmmmmm. The audio edition includes sound effects. Hmmmmmm. And the narrator does amazing impressions of Solo, Luke, and even Chewbacca. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

So I took the plunge, and broke my decade and a half-long streak of no Star Wars novels. And ladies and germs, I’m here to tell you, James S.A. Corey made me believe again.
This book is a brilliant Star Wars story. The authors actually know what makes Star Wars work: the characterizations, the adventures, the sense of fun. The banter is back! They utterly nail Han Solo’s character; you can hear the lines in Harrison Ford’s voice practically. And even if you can’t, the narrator does an eerily accurate impression anyway. A book like this must be hard to write because the audience already knows what the ultimate fate of these characters, and their relationships, will turn out to be. Yet, Corey effortlessly fits the tale in with the established canon, and keeps the relationships relevant and realistic. This is before Han and Leia kiss, before Luke knows Leia is his sister, and so on. So Han’s cocksure swagger, Leia’s eyerolling, and Luke’s wide-eyed innocence are still in play, and are all executed perfectly here.

The plot involves some kind of ancient alien weapon that the Empire wants, blah blah. Doesn’t matter. You read this book to see Han Solo being Han Solo, and doing very Han Soloy things. There’s action a-plenty, of course. And two new supporting characters, Scarlett Hark and Bossin Rae. The latter was my favorite of the book, after Solo. He’s a great foil for Han and the narrator’s voice characterization of him is a lot of fun.

So, reluctant erstwhile Star Wars fans, hear me: This is the one to read. It’ll rekindle your imagination and make you fall in love with Star Wars again. This is what Star Wars was meant to be, what it should be. There’s no reference to the prequels, no allusions to the EU. It’s contained solely within the original trilogy, and does what they did best. If James S.A. Corey can make this cynic believe again, then they’ve done something incredible. The magic still lives, guys. Read this book and restore your faith.
