It is a period of civil war. The heroic freedom fighters of the REBEL ALLIANCE have won their most important victory thus far with the destruction of the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR.
But the Rebellion has no time to savor its victory. The evil Galactic Empire has recognized the threat the rebels pose, and is now searching the galaxy for any and all information that will lead to the final destruction of the freedom fighters.
For the MILLENNIUM FALCON's crew, who saved the life of Luke Skywalker during the Battle of Yavin, their involvement with the rebels is at an end. Now HAN SOLO and CHEWBACCA hope to take their reward and settle some old debts....

It is strange to see that the best books of this new Expanded Universe of Star Wars are only those written for children and adolescents. This is a reflection of the new (disrespectful) editorial policy of Disney/Lucasfilm for the books of our beloved saga. However, this book is excellent, with the same spirit and feeling of the original films. These Star Wars Y/A books are definitely sophisticated.
A short, fun, and fast-paced adventure! Han and Chewie are sent on a rescue mission in the Outer Rim and run into agents of the Empire. It's written for a junior high audience, but I think most Star Wars fans would enjoy this.
It was okay, nothing exceptional. I enjoyed the characters, but it was about what I expected from them. I started it before the Solo film came out and finished it after, even thought it's not fair, I enjoyed the film a lot more and this book didn't stand up against it.
While reading this I was like, “DAMN, this is kinda DARK for middle-grade!” and then I was like “Oh I guess it's not any worse than the actual plot of Star Wars, which presumably anyone reading this has already seen?” But like for example in one of the first chapters a group of rebels gets captured and they all kill themselves/each other to avoid being tortured by the Empire??? Which again, isn't out of line with what happens in the movie but for some reason it feels darker to me in book form.
Uhh it was a pretty fun read! Middle-grade Star Wars fans will enjoy it. There was some good Han Solo character development (it's set between A New Hope and Empire Strike Backs and reflects on his changing opinions of the Alliance/Leia).
