To make his biggest score, Han's ready to take even bigger risks.
But even he can't do this job solo.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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?
