 Hey, look it's an actual book review and the Star Wars stuff video. This right here is a pretty good book It's apparently the second Han Solo book written by the same author the first being Han Solo at Star's End and This book references it a couple of times. It's much better written than Splendor of the Mind's Eye All of the cover painting is terrible The story is in a lot of ways exactly what you would expect. It's about a smuggler working outside the law looking for jobs and encountering dangerous and very bad people and Having a great deal of trouble getting paid Throughout most of the book. I was engaged and wanting to know what was going to happen next There's some good character development early on in the book There's a scene where Han makes Chewbacca laugh while he's drinking beer and Chewbacca snorts beer all over the bar There's a scene where Han is in a busy spaceport and he runs into a middle-aged couple who Used to be in his line of work and recognize him and the man asks him about a short list of Mutual acquaintances of theirs and and Han goes through them one by one telling him they're either dead or Permanently hospitalized or doing hard labor for life The thing I guess I most appreciate about the book is that it makes it clear that Han Solo is not the good guy He's not a murderer and he's not a slave trader or anything like that, but he's not a white hat either He's an outlaw Okay, a spoiler warning for the rest of what I'm about to say There are some scenes in the book that are kind of ridiculous. I mean Near the end there's a scene where Chewbacca is stranded on a mountainside So he cobbles together a hang glider out of a pterodactyl carcass and a camera stand that he has with him I mean, what does that remind you of? Oh, come on The luckiest boy in the world and The book ends with a wrap-up right out of murder. She wrote with all the characters standing in line and each person's Role in the mystery being explained when I didn't even know there was a mystery going on I guess that's a plus mark for the author for making the mystery an actual mystery But yeah, Han Solo's revenge.
