Publisher's Note "The Paradise Snare" begins with Han's late teen years and chronicles his transformation into a swashbuckling pilot. This is the first paperback original novel to be published following the theatrical re-release of the "Star Wars" films, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of the original movie. "Star Wars" point-of-sale material includes FREE mobile, "Star Wars Adventures Continues".
This novel begins with Han's late teen years and shows us how he escaped an unhappy adopted home situation to carve out a new life for himself as a pilot.
Industry Reviews With the re-release of the Star Wars movies, interest in the books will likely increase. While many of the recent ones took the beloved characters into the future, this first book in the "Han Solo Trilogy" tells the story of the smuggler/pilot's childhood and teen years. Abandoned, then taken in by a Fagin-like thief/space pirate, and finally raised by an old female Wookiee, Han escapes into his first piloting job, where he falls in love for the first time and saves his girlfriend from enslavement. Crispin deftly weaves Han's early years into the Star WarsR storyline and provides details that shape his personality. This prequel belongs in Star WarsR sf collections. Ives
