Smuggler's Run (Greg Rucka)


In Smuggler's Run, Han Solo & Chewbacca are getting ready to head out after the destruction of the first Death Star when Princess Leia makes a request- save a key Rebel (Lt. Ematt) on Cyrkon from Imperial capture.  Solo reluctantly complies, and heads off on the mission.  What he doesn't know: a highly skilled Imperial agent, Alecia Beck, also has her sights set on Ematt.  As Solo lands on Cyrkon, he realizes that he's gotten himself into far more than he realized.  Can he prevail?

This is probably the best of the three recent young adult Star Wars releases, but that's not surprising- it's Han & Chewie, after all.  Like the other two, if there were clues about Episode VII, they were sparse indeed.  Still, it was an enjoyable adventure tale.

Rating: A-
