    About this audiobook

    Two years have passed since Jacen Solo, seduced by the dark side and reanointed as the brutal Sith Lord Darth Caedus, died at the hands of his twin sister, Jaina, Sword of the Jedi. For a grieving Han and Leia, the shadow of their son's tragic downfall still looms large. But Jacen's own bright and loving daughter, Allana, offers a ray of hope for the future as she thrives in her grandparents' care. And when the eager, inquisitive girl, in whom the Force grows ever stronger, makes a curious discovery aboard her grandfather's beloved spacecraft-the much-overhauled but ever-dependable Millennium Falcon-the Solo family finds itself at a new turning point, about to set out on an odyssey into uncertain territory, untold adventure, and unexpected rewards.

    To Han, who knows every bolt, weld, and sensor of the Falcon as if they were parts of himself, the strange device Allana shows him is utterly alien. But its confounding presence-and Allana's infectious desire to unravel its mystery-are impossible to dismiss. The only answer lies in backtracking into the past on a fact-finding expedition to retrace the people, places, and events in the checkered history of the vessel that's done everything from making the Kessel Run "in less than twelve parsecs" to helping topple an evil empire.

    From the moment the Falcon broke loose from a Corellian assembly line like an untamed creature with a will of its own, it seemed destined to seek out trouble. It wasn't long before the feisty YT-1300 freighter went from shuttling cargo to smuggling contraband. But it's a fateful rendezvous on Coruscant, at the explosive height of the Republic/Separatist uprising, that launches a galaxywide cat-and-mouse game whose newest players are Han, Leia, Allana, and C-3PO. And they're not alone: Crime lords, galactic pirates, rogue politicians, and fortune hunters alike loom at every turn of the quest-each with his or her own desperate stake in the Millennium Falcon's most momentous mission. Through the years and across the stars, from the Rim worlds to unknown points beyond, the race will lead them all to a final standoff for a prize some will risk everything to find-and pay any cost to possess.

      I have a love/hate relationship with Star Wars novels. Being the SW junkie I am, I want to read them all, but I find a great many of them to be disappointing if not downright stupid. After the New Jedi Order series I thought I had successfully given them up for good. Then comes a novel that traces the history of the legendary Millennium Falcon, which I found I couldn't pass up. The good news is that it was fairly decent; the bad news is that my interest has been rekindled in reading some of the novels I've managed to skip over the past few years.Yes, I found it a little silly that Han and Leia started their quest to learn the Falcon's history at the same time a former pilot awoke from a 60-year coma with the goal of finding out what happened to the ship after he crashed it. But hey, I can handle a little bit of contrivance in the name of a good story, and that did set up a pretty cool framing device that let the story be told from the beginning and the end, working toward the middle.I was a little apprehensive when I realized that one of the featured characters was a child, as SW novels (and movies, for that matter) featuring children have mostly been disasters. But Luceno handled it well, keeping her (Allana, Jacen Solo's daughter) mostly in the background and well within herself. I did think the whole bit about her going by a different name and alternately calling Han and Leia her 'parents' or 'grandparents,' depending on the situation, was a bit stupid. Because I haven't yet read the novels that lead to this one, I don't know if that was Luceno's doing or if he was stuck with it; it didn't really come into play that much, so I don't see the point of him making it up for this story, but it was kinda dumb either way.So yeah, there were some things to nitpick over (and I probably didn't cover them all), but all in all, this was a pretty good story, quick and fun to read. It wasn't amazing (in the SW universe, that label is reserved almost exclusively for Tim Zahn and, to a lesser extent, Aaron Allston), but it was enjoyable. And there's nothing wrong with that.

      This is more light-hearted than some of the other Star Wars series stories. In this novel we get to see where the Millennium Falcon came from as well as getting to know Allana better. The story climax kind of fizzles, but it is a fun ride along the way.
    • 4/5
      This was a fun tour through the Falcon's entire history...We get to meet all of the shady characters who have participated in making her the ship we all know and love, and what's this? Could it be a mystery and a treasure hunt?Naturally, the Falcon holds a mystery that multiple people want to solve - a collector, a man trying to find out his past by delving into his future, Jacen's daughter Allana (now adopted by Leia and Han)...It ends up becoming a race to who can capture the prize.Were it not for finding out about the Falcon's coloured history, I would have found this book disappointing. It's very anti-climatic....But anyone interested in the history of the famed ship (and Han's first true love) really shouldn't pass this one up.
    • 4/5
      And now for the rest of the story - the story of the famed Millennium Falcon and there should be nobody out there who has heard of this ship!Han Solo along with is wife Leia Organa and their granddaughter, Allana are off on an adventure to discover the origins of the ship; to see who had flown her before Han won her in a sabac game from Lando.Unbeknown to Han, while he and his family are checking back, someone else is looking forward and both will meet and proceed on the adventure together to find a treasure that has been hidden for over 60 years, but is it what they are really seeking? And who are those mysterious side characters.Life is never dull if your last name is Solo!
    • 5/5
      Somewhat brain candy, especially compared to Cloak of Deception, and kind of predictable, but the story is a lot of fun. What really impressed me is the way James Luceno structures the plot by writing both ends of the story (trying not to give spoilers) simultaneously with each end moving towards each other and coming to a head.
    • 1/5
      The audio version of this book is messed up. The first 35 sections are the same as the sections 35-70 then it's fine for a few then jumps from chapter 7 to chapter 19. Hopefully scribd fixes this soon. If they do I hope I get an email I was looking forward to this book about the history of the falcon.
    • 4/5
      Really enjoyed the plot of the book, as well as the chance to see Allana with Han & Leia.
