"Moved me close to tears" is not something you would normally write about a Star Trek book, but A. C. Crispin's Yesterday's Son had me reaching for the tissues by the last page. When Spock realizes that he left behind a son on the planet Sarpedion (see the 3rd season episode All Our Yesterdays, TO...

Opening Line: "Captain's Personal Log Stardate 6324.09" A while ago I caught the classic Star Trek episode 'All Our Yesterdays' on late night TV and got sucked right into the story. As well as just how awesomely cheesy the original series is (I really have to watch it more often) Anyways, I happ...

Picturing Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow was easy to do with this book. It very much seems like things that Jack would do and would not do. Jack point of view about slaves really showed how he walks on a line between good or bad. The mythology behind the magic, and history of the African i...

This is early in the smuggler's life, before he was drawn to the light side of the force and teamed up with the Rebels. It is also the start of Han's life as a pilot. As one would expect, he finds a l...

One of the best first contact stories I ever read, Starbridge is timeless. Both a YA coming of age tale of a young woman traveling on her uncle's starship amongst the stars, a romance, and a story of humans encountering new alien life forms, the story works as well today as it did when it was first...

A solid entry, stronger than its predecessor, with great action, character development and pacing. Han meets Chewbacca, Lando, Jabba the Hutt and Darth Vader for the first time here. And he falls in love with the Millennium Falcon. A great bit of backstory here that builds on the previous novel and ...

Strong entry in the EU universe puts the earlier Han Solo Adventures and Lando Calrissian Adventures into place on the now establish SWEU timeline as well as expanding and developing the early life of Han Solo, including earlier romance, childhood and his military career. Later books introduce how h...
