Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook of Solo: A Star Wars Story by Mur Lafferty, read by Marc Thompson.
This thrilling adaptation of Solo: A Star Wars Story expands on the film to include scenes from alternate versions of the script and other additional content, giving deeper insights into Han Solo’s years in the Imperial Navy, Qi’ra’s past, and the beginnings of the rebellion.
Though Han Solo has thrilled Star Wars fans for decades, the notorious wisecracking scoundrel was chasing adventure and dodging trouble long before he walked into the cantina at Mos Eisley spaceport.
Young Han dreams of someday soaring into space at the helm of his own starship and leaving his home, the gritty industrial planet Corellia, far behind. But as long as he’s trapped in a life of poverty and crime—and under the thumb of the sinister Lady Proxima and her brutal street gang—reaching the distant stars seems impossible. When Han tries to escape with his girlfriend and partner-in-crime, Qi’ra, he makes it out—but she doesn’t. Desperate for a way to find his own offworld vessel and free her, Han enlists in the Imperial Navy—the last place for a rebellious loner who doesn’t play well with others.
When the Empire clips his wings, Han goes rogue and plunges into the shady world of smugglers, gamblers, and con artists. There he meets the charming and cunning high roller Lando Calrissian, makes an unlikely friend in a cantankerous Wookiee called Chewbacca, and first lays eyes on the Millennium Falcon. To snag his piece of the outlaw pie, Han joins a crew of pirates to pull off a risky heist. The stakes are high, the danger is great, and the odds are slim. But never tell Han Solo the odds.

Great stuff
As good as the movie and with extra sections that really add a lot to the story. Shame the movie did not end the same way as the book, but this makes the book well worth listenning too, because I am not going to say here what the ending is.

Unexpectedly Thrilled
Oh, wow, this was good.
I wanted to read this book to get all the 'expanded' information, having seen the film. I enjoyed the book. Most Wanted was decidedly Qi'ra's story and this is Han's. This is so much better than the film and would highly recommend it if you enjoyed the film. And the ending ... I can't say much, but wow it was perfect, especially if you read chronologically like me.
However, there were some contradictions with Most Wanted (the novel that proceeds this story).
