Star Wars: The Han Solo Trilogy: The Hutt Gambit

Volume 2

By: A. C. Crispin

Narrated by: David Pittu

Here is the second novel in the blockbuster new trilogy that reveals the never-before-told story of the young Han Solo. Set before the Star Wars(r) movie adventures, these books chronicle the coming-of-age of the galaxy's most famous con man, smuggler and thief.

Solo is now a fugitive from the Imperial Navy. But he has made a valuable friend in a former Wookiee slave named Chewbacca, who has sworn Han a life debt. Han will need all the help he can get. For the Ylesian Hutts have dispatched the dreaded bounty hunter Boba Fett to track down the man who already outsmarted them once. But Han and Chewie find themselves in even bigger trouble when they agree to lend their services to the crime lords Jiliac and Jabba the Hutt. Suddenly the two smugglers are thrust into the middle of a battle between the might of the Empire and the treachery of their outlaw allies...a battle where even victory means death!© and (P)2000 Lucasfilm Ltd. and TM.

Deal to good to be true

Great read leading into the next chapter in Solo's adventures. Making friends and introducing foes.

Not as good as the first one, but enjoyable.

Yes it’s abridged, but it’s still enjoyable. Think of it like an audio drama. I would love to see it rereleased by in unabridged format.

Hans past

The background to one of the greatest smugglers in the Star Wars world. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

Enjoyable

Thoroughly enjoyable, worth the price to get the series. Narrator is entertaining and very engaging.

The Hutt Gambit.

This the true background of Han Solo and Chewbacca. This is the story that was butchered and ripped off last year.

As for the mispronunciations: this audiobook predates the Prequels. Go watch the OT. Names like Palpatine, Kashyyk, and so on and so on were anyone’s guess until then.
