Before the Star Wars movies, before the titanic battles that freed the galaxy from the iron grip of the Empire, here is the never-before-told story of the young Han Solo.

But first he needs hands-on experience flying spacecraft, and for that he takes a job on the planet Ylesia—a steaming world of religious fanaticism, illicit drugs, and alluring sensuality…where dreams are …

I found the Han Solo Trilogy during a recent trip to Goodwill and picked them up for $1 each. Solo is a fun character and this was a nice look at some formative experiences and relationships. I found the constant "honey" and "sweetheart" grating, but then, I guess that's what young love is generally like. 😆
Looking forward to continuing the series.
