Publisher Description

Don’t miss the exclusive content in this thrilling adaptation of Solo: A Star Wars Story, with scenes from alternate versions of the script including Han Solo’s time in the Imperial Navy, Qi’ra’s past, the beginnings of the rebellion, and more!
 
Though Han Solo has thrilled Star Wars fans for decades, the notorious wisecracking scoundrel was chasing adventure and dodging trouble long before he walked into the cantina at Mos Eisley spaceport.
 
Young Han dreams of someday soaring into space at the helm of his own starship and leaving his home, the gritty industrial planet Corellia, far behind. 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.
 
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 Millennium Falcon. To 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.

“Nope, the epilogue did not make me cry. Absolutely not. I already enjoyed this movie more than the average Star Wars fan, I guess, but this book made me enjoy it even more. There were some scenes added and the multiple POVs, and thus character's thoughts made it way more enjoyable. This is honestly why I support movie novelisations and will try and read more of them!”
“Oh, wow, this was good. I wanted to read this book to get all the 'expanded' information, having seen the film. I enjoyed the book. Most Wanted was decidedly Qi'ra's story and this is Han's. This is so much better than the film and would highly recommend it if you enjoyed the film. And the ending ... I can't say much, but wow it was perfect, especially if you read chronologically like me. However, there were some contradictions with Most Wanted (the novel that proceeds this story).”
