Before I go any further, I just want to say that it's fun having Ocean's Eleven done Star Wars-style. Refreshing!
Anyway, I think that sums up the basic plot. Han Solo gets hired for a heist, he gets a crew together, a bunch of stuff goes wrong, and they try to steal a whole bunch of credits so they can all retire and live peacefully for a really long time. Sounds simple.

Good book, nice little Oceans 11 type story involving several SW universe characters. The plot developed nicely, and Zahn did a good job leaving things off so that the continuity of the SW universe remained intact. Well worth the read.
I loved it!!!

Fun read. Several connect the dots to characters in the EU.
I love a good heist book! One that involves Han Solo and Lando Calrissian is even better. I thought this book was very fun to read.
it didnt really feel like a Star Wars book, possibly due to the plot.
ugh just the wrost
