Publisher's summary

What would it take for you to step into the den of a rancor? What treasure would tempt you to stare death in the face? Aboard Boba Fett's ship is a carbonite-encased Han Solo. Jabba's willing to pay plenty for Solo, making him a tempting treasure for every bounty hunter in the galaxy. But tempting enough to board the Slave I? Apparently, somebody thinks so!
