Full blurb for Empire and
Rebellion: Honor Among Thieves
Last month
Random House released the short promotional blurb for the second Empire
and Rebellion novel, Honor Among Thieves,
now they have updated their
online catalog's listing page
for this novel with the full blurb:
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.
Empire and Rebellion:
Honor Among Thieves by James S. A. Corey
(pen name for authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) is
scheduled for release in hardback, e-Book and Audio Book
formats in the US on the 4th
March 2014. (Source:

Star Wars"
Tomorrow the first issue of J.W. Rinzler
and Mike Mayhew's 8-part comic book adaptation of George
Lucas's 1974 rough-draft screenplay, The Star
Wars, is released by Dark Horse
Comics. Although this screenplay features many
characters and locations that would eventually evolve into
the Star Wars we are familiar with, a lot of the
characters and their roles within The Star Wars story may
come as a bit of a surprise.
So to asist readers
with this story we have produced a
Readers' Guide to this
comic book story which includes details of the various
comic book covers (including known variants), characters
and locales visited in the story. |
