This is the original Han Solo series, not to be confused with Crispin's Han Solo Trilogy. It is set from 5-2 years BBY.

These Adventures are being discussed in the BC&T forum here and there is more information regarding the books and their blurbs here.


My thoughts on the first book in the series Han Solo at Star's End were in this post:

I have just finished Han Solo at Star's End and quite enjoyed it.

It didn't have quite the depth and pace of most of the more recent novels, but as it was written pre-TESB the material available to author was obviously fairly limited.

It's good to finally know who Bollux is - after reading the NJO (and I think it was in Hero's Trial IIRC) this reference to the past is now much clearer.


I then posted this about the second book, Han Solo's Revenge:

I finally finished the second of the books - Han Solo's Revenge - and quite enjoyed it once I got into it.

For much of the book it had the same sort of simplistic feel that the earlier book also had - and then I realised, as Han and Chewbacca's paths diverged, that this was because there was pretty much only one point of view. There is none of the interludes with the bad guys or splitting to follow characters on different paths for much of these books.

However, when the paths did split in this book, the Chewie part included some of the best characterisation work with him that I have read, and showed how he really could have had so much more potential than simple sidekick/babysitter.

Hopefully I'll get through Han Solo and the Lost Legacy a little more quickly than I did the middle book ...


And then finally I posted this about Han Solo and the Lost Legacy:

I've now finished the final book in the adventures trilogy and was a little disappointed with this one. I really liked Bollux and Max, but other than that it just seemed sort of forced - I actually struggled to get the motivation to finish it.

Once again Han was written very well, but the book was a bit of a disappointment after the previous one (especially with Chewie reverting to being more in the background after having such a prominent role in the middle book).

Now I have to decide whether to read the Lando Adventures or the Han Solo (Crispin) trilogy next ...


I in fact went on to read the Crispin trilogy, for which my comments can be found here.
