But as long as he's trapped in a life of poverty and crime--and under the thumb of the sinister Lady Proxima and her brutal street gang--reaching the distant stars seems impossible. When Han tries to escape with his girlfriend and partner-in-crime, Qi'ra, he makes it out--but she doesn't. Desperate for a way to find his own offworld vessel and free her, Han enlists in the Imperial Navy--the last place for a rebellious loner who doesn't play well with others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When the Empire clips his wings, Han goes rogue and plunges into the shady world of smugglers, gamblers, and con artists. There he meets the charming and cunning high roller Lando Calrissian, makes an unlikely friend in a cantankerous Wookiee called Chewbacca, and first lays eyes on the \u003ci\u003eMillennium Falcon. \u003c\/i\u003eTo snag his piece of the outlaw pie, Han joins a crew of pirates to pull off a risky heist. The stakes are high, the danger is great, and the odds are slim. But never tell Han Solo the odds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSolo: A Star Wars Story\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Mur Lafferty has given us the best adaptation of a \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e film yet.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eStar Wars News Net\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"If you liked the movie but were left wanting more, this novel has exactly what you need.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eCNET\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"A fun adventure tale within the larger Star Wars franchise that goes beyond the run-of-the-mill novelization treatment to explore a new bit of the world that we haven't yet seen.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe Verge\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMur Lafferty \u003c\/b\u003eis an award-winning author and Hall of Fame podcaster.
