5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST CHARACTERISATION OF THE SMUGGLER YET, 23 May 2000
By A Customer
I read 'Splinter of the Mind's Eye' (written in 1977) and to be honest, was less than impressed. So, for obvious reasons I was a bit dubious about these stories written at (roughly) the same time. But when I saw them collected together..., I figured (since I'm a collector) I'd give them a try. BOY WAS I EVER SHOCKED! I discovered that, although there are few links to the modern saga of Star Wars novels, it has by a long shot the best ever characterisation of that dashing rogue that every boy wanted to be when he was a kid, Han Solo. This trilogy doesn't have the scope or rich continuity of A.C Crispin's Han Solo Trilogy, but you really get a sense of these two smugglers being the best in the game. An action packed read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best novels written outside the movies and George Lucas!, 19 Jun 1999
By A Customer
The first novelizations to be written outside the movies when Star Wars just hit theaters in 1977, the Han Solo trilogy is not only believable and original, but also captures the brash and heroic spirit of Han Solo. In comparison to all the trivial novels being released today by Bantam Books , Brian Daley's simplistic and candid storytelling style will always remain classic and true to the Star Wars universe!

5.0 out of 5 stars Solo Books Great Reading, 31 Dec 1996
By A Customer
Brian Daley did a fantastic job on these novels. He wrote perfectly for Han and Chewie even before they were fully developed (the books were written in 1979 and 1980). An important part of the novel is the characterization, at which Daley is very talented. Han and Chewie speak and act like they would in the movies. The Solo adventures are action-packed and never slow down. A must read for Han Solo fans. If you're looking for something in a Star Wars novel besides seeing MORE remnants of the Empire pop up again and again, you HAVE to read these books. In them, Han deals with the Corporate Sector Authority, a group unrelated to the Empire, but just as dangerous. Daley introduces new and interesting characters that become as much a part of the book as Han or Chewbacca. These books will definitely not disappoint a true Star Wars fan. They're full of all the action and excitement that epitomize Star Wars. I would give the books a 10 except that there are a few somewhat goofy moments. In "Han Solo's Revenge", Chewbacca escapes stampeding animals by quickly making a glider out of a dead pterosaur. That seems a bit ridiculous to me, but everything else is just perfect.
