About this listen

 He was a child without a past, a Corellian street urchin, abandoned, foraging for scraps of food, when the cruel Garris Shrike whisked him away to join a nomadic band of space-faring criminals. Now, years later, chafing under Shrike's sadistic tyranny, driven by dreams of adventure and glory, Han fights his way free. His goal: to become an Imperial Navy pilot. 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 and alluring sensuality, where dreams are destroyed and escape is impossible.More in the Han Solo Trilogy we have.

Critic Reviews

"Crispin deftly weaves Han's early years into the Star Wars storyline and provides details that shape his personality. This prequel belongs in Star Wars collections." (Library Journal)
"This story...features a single narrator who mimics Harrison Ford as if he were younger, playing a young Han Solo with eerie authenticity. Sound effects and John Williams's stunning Star Wars music are used throughout to meticulous effect." (AudioFile)

The story is a bit short. Less than three hours of audio play. It could have combined the trilogy into one book. Getting to know Han from the start (different to what the recent movie Solo portrays) was always interesting.

Anyways, I love the sound effects that was in the book. Not overly done yet playing st the right place. I’m about to start my book 2 I hope it’ll be another great one.

I’ve always wanted to know more about Han

Han Solo has been my absolute favourite character from the original Star Wars trilogy and to find these books, I certainly have not been the least bit disappointed to read and now listen to them. Just as well as learn about Han’s backstory whether it’s canon or not.
