Honor Among Thieves
Nebula and Hugo Award nominees Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck — writing as James S. A. Corey — make their Star Wars debut in this brand-new epic adventure featuring Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia Organa. The action begins after the destruction of the Death Star in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
When the Empire threatens the galaxy’s new hope, will Han, Luke, and Leia become its last chance?
When the mission is to extract a high-level rebel spy from the very heart of the Empire, Leia Organa knows the best man for the job is Han Solo — something the princess and the smuggler can finally agree on. After all, for a guy who broke into an Imperial cell block and helped destroy the Death Star, the assignment sounds simple enough.
But when Han locates the brash rebel agent, Scarlet Hark, she’s determined to stay behind enemy lines. A pirate plans to sell a cache of stolen secrets that the Empire would destroy entire worlds to protect — including the planet where Leia is currently meeting with rebel sympathizers. Scarlet wants to track down the thief and steal the bounty herself, and Han has no choice but to go along if he’s to keep everyone involved from getting themselves killed. From teeming city streets to a lethal jungle to a trap-filled alien temple, Han, Chewbacca, Leia, and their daring new comrade confront one ambush, double cross, and firestorm after another as they try to keep crucial intel out of Imperial hands.
But even with the crack support of Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing squadron, the Alliance heroes may be hopelessly outgunned in their final battle for the highest of stakes: the power to liberate the galaxy from tyranny or ensure the Empire’s reign of darkness forever.

In the vast universe of modern science fiction, few names have reshaped the genre quite like James S. A. Corey—a pseudonym that conceals a powerful creative duo: Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. Their collaboration gave birth to The Expanse, a sweeping space opera that redefined political intrigue, interplanetary tension, and character-driven storytelling on a galactic scale. With its gritty realism, moral complexity, and vast yet intimate scope, the series captured the imagination of a generation hungry for science fiction grounded not in fantasy, but in plausible futures.
