Star Wars: Scoundrels Release Date Pushed Back A Week
Posted By Mike on October 3, 2012
For those of us eagerly awaiting the hardcover release of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: Scoundrels, the author has taken to Facebook to announce that the release date has been slightly delayed...
"A bit of news: The pub date for Star Wars: Scoundrels has been postponed a week until January 1, 2013. (The delay has apparently been applied to all of RH's December 26 releases, so it's not like Scoundrels has been singled out.) No reasons have been given, at least not to me."
We'll keep you posted if any other delays occur. In the meantime, here's an Amazon plot description refresher:
"To make his biggest score, Han?s ready to take even bigger risks. But even he can?t do this job solo.
Han Solo should be basking in his moment of glory. After all, the cocky smuggler and captain of the Millennium Falcon just played a key role in the daring raid that destroyed the Death Star and landed the first serious blow to the Empire in its war against the Rebel Alliance. But after losing the reward his heroics earned him, Han?s got nothing to celebrate. Especially since he?s deep in debt to the ruthless crime lord Jabba the Hutt. There?s a bounty on Han?s head?and if he can?t cough up the credits, he?ll surely pay with his hide. The only thing that can save him is a king?s ransom. Or maybe a gangster?s fortune? That?s what a mysterious stranger is offering in exchange for Han?s less-than-legal help with a riskier-than-usual caper. The payoff will be more than enough for Han to settle up with Jabba?and ensure he never has to haggle with the Hutts again.
All he has to do is infiltrate the ultra-fortified stronghold of a Black Sun crime syndicate underboss and crack the galaxy?s most notoriously impregnable safe. It sounds like a job for miracle workers . . . or madmen. So Han assembles a gallery of rogues who are a little of both?including his indispensable sidekick Chewbacca and the cunning Lando Calrissian. If anyone can dodge, deceive, and defeat heavily armed thugs, killer droids, and Imperial agents alike?and pull off the heist of the century?it?s Solo?s scoundrels. But will their crime really pay, or will it cost them the ultimate price?"
