Ambush at Corellia (Star Wars: The Corellian Trilogy, Book 1)

Rating:
Summary: Flat
Review: This book lacked excitement. I didn't like the way the characters were handled, or the plot of the book as a whole. If there was a real plot. For the most part it was an extremely dull family holiday.

Summary: The Ballantine editor was drunk when this one went to print.
Review: Chalk up another author as being a flop in Star Wars. It was horrible. Allen made the twins, Anakin, Chewie, and the droids sub-human. All the characters thought the same, and the action was not the least bit engaging. I quit after the first ten chapters. While the concept for this trilogy is good, the author Ballantine got to do it does not live up to it and is not worthy of Star Wars. Nor is he true to the characters. Han would never think of getting rid of the Falcon. The droids would never be so formal with Lando, and Mara Jade wouldn't have such an edge to her. Allen joins the list of authors (Hambly, Anderson, Kube-McDowell, Rusch) who don't have what it takes to write Star Wars. Feel safe ignoring it.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: I think this is the best Star Wars book I have read besides "Vision of the Future." Allen is one of the few Star Wars authors with the ability to both tell an interesting story and get all the main characters' personalities right. Besides that, the new characters he introduces are interesting (particularly Belindi Kalenda and Q9-X2). There's also a lot of humor--I laughed out loud several times while reading this book. The other two books in the series aren't as good, but they're still a great improvement over most Star Wars books.

Summary: fairly good....
Review: ....Aside from the fact that Anikin Solo has the vocabulary of a three year old! Apparently Mr. Allen has never really BEEN a seven year old. But other than that minior mistake i believe that this was a pretty good book. (I bought the entire trilogy at once and am to book three: SHOWDOWN AT CENTERPOINT) P.S. Did he make up all this stuff about Coreillia?

Summary: Why do I keep reading Star Wars novels?
Review: Does Lucas direct all the writers in these books to bring all the main characters together, come hell or high water? The plot devices used to ensure that all the characters we know and love are brought together, relatively defenseless, on Correlia are laughable - especially Lando and Luke. The Solo children might as well be trained monkeys, for all they contribute, not counting Anakin's very convenient abilities with the force. But, with all that said, the plot is reasonably interesting, once it gets going, and the cliffhanger ending did persuade me to get the next book. This one is certainly better than The Paradise Snare, which was a total disappointment.

Rating:
Summary: Boring and dull
Review: This book was not that great. Once I finished it, I was hoping that the second book, Attack at Selonia would pick up with some more action. This book was too dull and not enough action was presented by the author. I did not feel enthralled or the need to want to finish it. I was not happy with the content and the slow progress of the story.

Rating:
Summary: SUPERB!!!
Review: This is one of the finest Star Wars books in circulation. It combines action, suspense, and many other such characterisics making it a book you just cannot put down. Full of excitement, adventure, and non-stop thrills. The other two books of the series are also fantastic and fit together with this book perfectly. Superb job!!!

Review: the first time I read it was very cool. THE WAY THE AUTHOR BRINGS THINGS TO LIFE IN THE FAMILY AND SHOWS WHAT THE FAMILY IS LIKE :)

Rating:
Summary: An excellent story, full of adventures. Very captivating
Review: A wonderful glimpse of Han Solo life before the movie trilogy. Full of adventures and excitement that captivates the readers. Left me eager to read on and on and on...

Summary: What a Book!!
Review: Oh, YEAH! My my my, this was good, although the plot development starts a little late. I liked this because it gave some good details on the planet Corellia, Han's homeworld.
