About this eBook

Timothy Zahn’s upcoming novel Scoundrels, starring Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian, returns to the excitement of the classic Star Wars films. In this thrilling prequel eBook novella, Winner Lose All, Lando and a pair of unlikely allies find themselves involved in a dangerous game. Fortunately, Lando can survive against the odds—a skill that he will need in spades.
 
Lando Calrissian’s no stranger to card tournaments, but this one has a truly electrifying atmosphere. That’s because the prize is a rare sculpture worth a whopping fifty million credits. If Lando’s not careful, he’s going to go bust, especially after meeting identical twins Bink and Tavia Kitik, master thieves who have reason to believe that the sculpture is a fake. The Kitiks are beautiful, dangerous, and determined to set things right—and they’ve convinced Lando to help them expose the scam. But what they’re up against is no simple double cross, nor even a twisted triple cross. It is a full-blown power play of colossal proportions. For an unseen mastermind holds all the cards and has a fail-proof solution for every problem: murder.

Ratings and reviews

Winner Lose All bring the elements of both "To Catch a Theif" and "Law and Order " to the Star Wars Universe. As a Galactic War rages life and crime continues to take place in the Star Wars Universe. I was able to follow the story by the memorable characters.

I bought this after I had read the afore mentioned book. It had the usual quality I expect from Timothy Zahn's work...though sad that it was so short. Still well worth the read.

Great read for a short story! kept my interest and introduced me to some of the new characters I'll be reading​ about in the next book Scoundrels! 😁 I'd highly recommend reading but NOT buying this however. because as I found out the hard way, it's already included in the version of Scoundrels Google play sells. So you'll all be better off just buying Scoundrels and reading this story 1st.
