Han Solo's younger years, the years that brought him from childhood right up to the start of the first film. Written by A C Crispin.

Ever wondered how Solo got to where he was? We all know Skywalker's past, the fairly boring life of a boy on a water farm on Tantooine. Racing, yes. Adventures probably no. (I'm second-guessing here, but this is what we imagine.) Solo is another matter, a smuggler with no known family or friends, bar Lando and Jabba who both turned out to be really good mates. But don't you ever wonder how he stared out? How he came to be what he is in the film?

These books are also where you find out what the hell he means by doing "the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs." And how he coped himself with his junk pile of a ship, the Falcon. You find out all about his previous life, leaving few gaps, his time in the imperial navy and how he hooked himself up with the "walking carpet." How you actually play sabacc. His failing love life, now that's interesting!
