Is there a better way to start the new year than a new Star Wars novel? Particularly one penned by Timothy Zahn? Apparently not since the newest Star Wars blockbuster will be released tomorrow. Grand Master of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, Timothy Zahn has lately been exploring the time frame in between the original movies, with amazing characterizations of movie era Luke, Han, and Leia. Scoundrels follows that pattern in that it is set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, but unlike the earlier books, it is focused on Han being...well, a scoundrel! Described by many people as Ocean's 11 meets Star Wars, Scoundrels is a heist novel that requires some of the best smugglers, rogues, and scoundrels in the galaxy to join forces for the ultimate con. If you are an avid fan of the Star Wars EU, a casual reader who's been unable to get into the recent megaseries, or someone just looking for a fun but clever caper novel, this book is one of the best the EU has offer. So pick up a copy tomorrow and keep an eye on the site for reviews and giveaways to celebrate the beginning of the new year of Star Wars!
