The Expanse creators unveiled Han Solo as no one else ever wrote him

But between other projects, they made time for a single Star Wars novel, 2014’s Honor Among Thieves, the final release in the pre-Disney Star Wars Legends era of the franchise. That book neatly splits the difference between a Star Wars story and a Corey epic. A lot of it seems conceptually familiar from other Star Wars books: Familiar movie characters go on a side adventure that introduces new characters and seems important to the overall saga, but doesn’t affect the movie canon. But one thing makes Honor Among Thieves feel distinctive — It gives us an amusing vision of Han Solo from total strangers’ points of view.
