Summary: The Falcon is hijacked in the corporate sector
Review: This is the third story of the Brian daley trilogy. Brian also did the radio dramas but sadly died before seeing the expanded universe explode into what it has become. He is the first EU novelists. My favorite of the Daley trilogy is Han solo's Revenge. Second is HS at Stars End (which is also available is a Dark horse comic). Lost legacy is my least favorite of the three stories, but it is still a good read. One vacation I read in order the first 2 AC Crispen novels of the Han solo trilogy. Then I read the daley trilogy and concluded with the last of the Crispen trilogy, Rebel Dawn. AC Crispen did a good job writing his trilogy as he accommodated the Daley books.

Summary: The Han Solo Adventures Conclude?
Review: This story is the third in the series of Han Solo Adventures written by Brian Daley (the first two being "Han Solo at Star's End" and "Han Solo's Revenge"). It was originally published in 1980, the same year that "The Empire Strikes Back" was released on the big screen. When I first began the series, I thought that perhaps the author would attempt to integrate some of the Star Wars trilogy into his story line. Aside from the characters of Han and Chewbacca and a couple of passing references to the Empire, this assumption was proven to be false. Not necessarily a bad thing, but a minor disappointment for me. Probably more so since the series was concluded about the time of "Empire's" debut. Aside from this, the story flows reasonably well as Han and Chewie go on a treasure hunt after the fabled plunders of the ancient conqueror Xim the Despot. Life never seems to be easy for our heroes as they encounter villains, fanatics, robots, and an old nemesis of Han's that are all out to seemingly prevent them from reaching their goal. In the end, the old saying "Be careful what you wish for, for you may get it" proves to be of special significance to them. For our characters are reminded that "having" is not always as gratifying as "the chase", especially when one man's "treasure" can be another man's "junk". Brian Daley leaves the story ending open with the certain possibility of a sequel. But in having chosen not to closely tie his series with the theatrical release of George Lucas' trilogy makes this difficult, if not impossible, particularly in light of the explosion of the many other Star Wars books that do continue the Lucas story line. Still, it was rather fun to temporarily suspend what we do know of "Star Wars" and to think along Brian Daley's lines of "What If..." After all, this all happened A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away..
