Seems Timothy Zahn is doing a heist novel set between Star Wars and Empire that focuses on Han, Chewie and Lando. Comes out Dec 26.
I can't wait for this. I really like his Star Wars books, especially since he mostly keeps to the core characters and doesn't get into the later stuff. I love Star Wars but I think Legacy of the Force went off the rails and Fate of the Jedi isn't much better( i am only 4 books in).

I would buy this book just for the cover! haha.
