bookish_emperor 's review for:
Scoundrels
by Timothy Zahn
“Courage wasn’t a matter of taking the whole mountain in a single massive leap. Courage was taking it one step at a time, doing what was necessary now, preparing for the next step, and refusing to worry about whether some step in the future would be the one that would break him.”
Okay, this was the best SW book I've read in awhile. Oceans 11 but Star Wars. Zahn is my favorite SW author after Luceno. He nails the OT cast in a way that the other authors struggle with. Han, Chewie and Lando were on point. And this book explains why Lando was mad at Han before Episode 5. This is also the earliest in the timeline we meet Winter, and it was awesome to see her before she's babysitting the Solo kids for years.
Han and a group of people he puts together are hired to break into a vault owned by Black Sun and steal some credits and blackmail files. Incredibly low stakes story, there's no saving the galaxy, and no space battles at all, but I was entertained the entire time.
