Summary: Bre's
Review: Well-written and pacey, I found this book highly enjoyable. It serves as a perfect prequel novel to ANH. In this book we see how Han won the Millenium Falcon, and why he and Lando stopped asscotiating. A.C. Crispin has done a commendable job of rounding out Han's character into the Han we met in the movies. A great read.

Summary: Just below average
Review: Writing fiction on a set stage has its benefits but also its boundaries. You don't have to create highly interesting characters but you need to fill the gaps that are there. So you can take advantage of what's already there and fill in the blanks and its up to you how eventful you do that. Books set in the Star Wars universe are of course written to make money of the licenses and not to write literature, but that shouldn't keep a writer from getting it to be a fairly good novel - Brian Daley knew how to do that. Crispin had nothing better to do than to make all protagonists politically correct, completely flat and conventional. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian are good friends, Chewbacca is a married ecologist and all female characters, no matter what species, would love to get married and have children anyway, if some other tasks don't keep them from it. This point of conventionalism might be the most important - instead of coming up with interesting alien societies for the wookies and the other species they all seem to be a bad copy of earth's society. Even a Hutt just wants to be a mother when he/she gave birth. And making Han Solo, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian likable characters without any notion of a dark, unlikable and undesirable side to them, was just dull. Most fans will probably like Crispins novels because they simply expect some action with characters they are familiar with. But it could have been serving the protagonists quite better and on terms of literature these books are trash.

Summary: Definitely my favorite out of the trilogy.
Review: I loved this book and if I could give it a higher review I would. At the end I felt like cheering. Han and Bria were great. I wish there was another book to go with this one. The action was great, plot was great, and the characters were wonderful.

Summary: Another excellent read!
Review: This was another great read! After reading the first two books I knew I would enjoy this one, I was right! The story captured all the character's personality's and Star Wars spirit, like usual. The action was great except I would have thought the rebellion was a little more organized by than what was depicted in this book. Also, of course, Bria. I think Han should just have one special Love story. With Leia. A great read and a excellant book!

Summary: Best of the Three
Review: Finally we get to see Han Solo in a recognizable form--the cynical, tough criminal with the soft spot for 2 meter furred bipeds. No more "one-woman-Pirate"--Han is as he should be, lovin' and leavin'. Seriously, though, the best thing about this book--and the trilogy in general--is the meticulous care with which Ms. Crispin researched the history of the character both in print and on-screen. All of the major events alluded to in other books (including Daley's seminal works) are in some way acknowledged here. Pick it up--it's a great climax to a good trilogy.

Summary: It was a really good book
Review: It was nice seeing Han win the Falcon. I really enjoyed this set of books. It was nice seeing Han and Chewy, before a new hope. I would recommend this book series to anyone.

Summary: Everything you could ask for...
Review: I am somewhat cynical when it comes to Star Wars books. I've read most of them and at least half of them are a complete waste of time. NOT THIS ONE. In fact, the entire trilogy rocks. I think it equals the Zahn trilogy. All of the details of Han's life before Episode IV are revealed and surprisingly, none of them let you down. Enthralling...I literally could not put it down. And that's saying a lot for me. I was an English major in college and I've read a lot of good books and this is the height of Star Wars quality.
