Don’t miss the exclusive content in this thrilling adaptation of Solo: A Star Wars Story, with scenes from alternate versions of the script including Han Solo’s time in the Imperial Navy, Qi’ra’s past, the beginnings of the rebellion, and more! 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.

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.

The brand-new official Minecraft novel is a journey into the unknown! When a young girl teams up with her friend to find the boy's missing uncle, they must leave the safety of the Overworld behind. Alison and Max must team up to find his missing uncle Nicholas. Using the journal his beloved uncle left as a guide, the duo hurtle headlong into a treacherous and unknown landscape called the Nether.

Max a Alica sú dôkazom, že rozdiely nestoja v ceste priateľstvu. Max sa vždy obzerá po nejakom novom dobrodružstve – hoci by to znamenalo dostať sa do problémov – zatiaľ čo Alica sa radšej drží pravidiel. Jedného dňa však Max objaví starý ošúchaný denník, ktorý obidvoch celkom pohltí. Jeho tajomný autor Čarodejník v ňom opisuje prazvláštnu bránu – portál do nebezpečného neznámeho sveta, do Podsvetia.

Ha valakik, hát Max és Alison az élő bizonyíték arra, hogy az ellentétek nem állhatnak a barátság útjába. Max folyton új kalandokba keveredne - még akkor is, ha az izgalmak veszéllyel társulnak -, míg Alison a szabálykövetés híve. De van valami, ami közös nevezőre hozza őket: egy titokzatos idegen, a Bűvölő által hátrahagyott ütött-kopott napló, amelyet Max talált az erdőben. A Bűvölő jegyzetei egy rejtélyes építményhez vezetik őket: egy, az Alvilágba vezető kapuhoz. Miután kiegészítik a portál szerkezetét, a két barát azon kezd el vitatkozni, hogy átlépjenek-e a veszélyekkel teli Alvilágba vagy maradjanak inkább az otthonukat jelentő dimenzióban - azonban egy váratlan esemény eldönti helyettük a kérdést. Az ijesztő, pokoli létsíkon Max és Alison összetalálkozik Freyával, egy bátor harcossal, aki az Alvilágban él Nyuszivadász, a barátságos farkasa társaságában. Freya és a napló lapjain rejlő nyomok segítségével Ali és Max útra kelnek, hogy a Bűvölő nyomára bukkanjanak, még ha az Alvilág próbára is teszi képességeiket - és barátságukat.
