Han Solo at Stars' End

By: Brian Daley

Han Solo at Stars' End is a novel set in the Star Wars universe that takes place during the Rise of the Empire era, and is the first of three books in The Han Solo Adventures trilogy.

Plot: Upon Settling old debts with Ploovo-Two-For-One, Han and Chewbacca head for the best illegal ship rebuilder in the galaxy, only to find out that he has been taken by Corporate Sector Authority to an undisclosed location.  His daughter, Jessa, convinces Han to extract some people from the agriworld of Orion III, in exchange for the repairs he requires.  During the extraction on Orion III, Chewbacca is captured.  Han finds out that Chewbacca is being held at a Corporate Sector Authority Prison planet, known as Star's End.

Review:  A great read.  Very well written and easy to follow along.   Truly a Han Solo adventure!  The story itself gets a four star rating instead of five because the plot, however entertaining, could be seen from a mile away.  It is the old "get captured, get rescued, then everyone's happy" routine.  Also, there isn't any character development on Han or Chewie's part here either.
