SciFi fluff at its best (Empire Strikes Back meets Ocean's Eleven... by ZAHN! :)
Good Heist Novel. Loved the ending twist. I think Tim Zahn always delivers with his novels. Only complaint would be some pacing issues but that may have just been related to my availability to actually read the novel vs. any actual problem in the book.
Star Wars: Scoundrels is one of my new favorite audiobooks. I've never read or listened to any Expanded Universe stories before, even though I'm a big Star Wars fan, so this was a new adventure for me. And I'm really glad I decided to check this out when I was looking for something light and fun to listen to.
The story is not even very original, but it's still pretty cool. It's a heist story starring Han Solo, Chewbacca and Lando. They've assembled a team to pull off a big con job. It's sort of like Ocean's 11 in a galaxy far, far away. It's set between Episodes IV & V, so there are references to Luke, Leia and some of the other characters. The story still has a lot of action and a few twists that really kept me intrigued.
I also really enjoyed Marc Thompson's performance and all the sound effects. It really brought me into the Star Wars universe.

This book didn't have as much action as some Star Wars novels, but the Oceans 11 style intrigue and planning was highly entertaining.
