Book Description

March 7, 2000 AU Star Wars
Here is the blockbuster trilogy that chronicles the never-before-told story of the young Han Solo. Set before the Star Wars movie adventures, these books chronicle the coming-of-age of the galaxy's most famous con man, smuggler, and thief.


The Collection includes:

The Paradise Snare

The first book in this exciting new Han Solo series begins with a recounting of Han's late teen years and shows us how he escaped an unhappy adopted home situation to carve out an adventurous new life for himself as a pilot. Han Solo, the handsome rogue, is every girl's dream man, and every boy's hero. The Paradise Snare is another stellar Star Wars production, complete with original music and sound effects.

The Hutt Gambit
Solo is now a fugitive from the Imperial Navy. But he has made a valuable friend in a former Wookiee slave named Chewbacca, who has sworn Han a life debt. Han will need all the help he can get. For the Ylesian Hutts have dispatched the dreaded bounty hunter Boba Fett to track down the man who already outsmarted them once. But Han and Chewie find themselves in even bigger trouble when they agree to lend their services to the crime lords Jiliac and Jabba the Hutt. Suddenly the two smugglers are thrust into the middle of a battle between the might of the Empire and the treachery of their outlaw allies...a battle where even victory means death!

Rebel Dawn
The Millennium Falcon is "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy." So when Han Solo wins it in a game of sabacc, he and Chewbacca become kings of the smugglers--uncatchable, unstoppable. But with the Empire clamping down, Han knows his luck can't last. Still, when an old girlfriend who is now the leader of an insurgent Rebel group offers him a shot at an incredible fortune, Han can't resist. The plan seems a sure thing. The resistance will be light and the take enormous. Han and his friends will divide it equally with the Rebels. Too bad for Han that the planet of Ylesia is far from a pushover, that the Rebels have an agenda of their own, and that smuggler friends can often turn into enemies...quicker than lightspeed.

More About the Author

Happy February, Amazon.com readers! Great news! Books 1, 2, 3, and 4 of my StarBridge Series are now available on Kindle!

Now, thanks to Ridan Publishing, the StarBridge books will all be available in all major e-book formats on the Ridan website and right here on Amazon.com for the Kindle. The first four StarBridge Books, StarBridge, Silent Dances, Shadow World, and Serpent's Gift are out now, and the remaining three, Silent Songs, Ancestor's World, and Voices of Chaos will be following in the next few months.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am about this. StarBridge has always been near and dear to my heart. They were widely regarded as some of the best space-based books for young adults, and that kind of sf is even rarer now than it was when these books were first published. I hope they will continue to be a gateway for readers to the sort of science fiction that I love, as Andre Norton's and Robert A. Heinlein's were for me.

If the e-editions do well, there may be MORE StarBridge adventures to come...I'm talking brand-new, original stories. So please...check them out!

Also, still available is my Pirates of the Caribbean prequel book, The Price of Freedom. Not to make too big a deal of it, but the hardcover would make a heck of a good present for any fan of PotC.

The Price of Freedom is the first full-length novel written in the Pirates of the Caribbean universe aimed at adult readers. It's a prequel to the POTC films, and tells how Jack Sparrow first became Captain Jack Sparrow. It tells how he first encountered Cutler Beckett and Hector Barbossa, and why he left Shipwreck Cove. Jack also meets some unusual ladies in the book. And, since it's a Pirates of the Caribbean story, there's also treasure and magic!

The Price of Freedom is available in both hardcover and Kindle versions. If you're familiar with my other books, I've done for Jack Sparrow what I did for Han Solo and Sarek -- this novel is his backstory and shows how Jack became the Jack we know from the movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Star Wars Novel Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!, June 4, 2007
This review is from: Star Wars: The Han Solo Omnibus: The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, Rebel Dawn (AU Star Wars) (Audio Cassette)
In fact this may be one of the best pieces of science fiction from the last century. Hyperbole? Perhaps. Nonethelesss, I've read the trilogy 3 times now and it's been better and better each time. If you like Star Wars this is a MUST READ! Period.

This review is from: Star Wars: The Han Solo Omnibus: The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, Rebel Dawn (AU Star Wars) (Audio Cassette)
This set of books was a wonderful to read. The story of Han Solo's life before the events of episode IV explained a lot of unanswered questions. The book takes you from the time before Han went into the Imperial Academy to him walking into Episode IV. It is a great book and I recomend it to anyone that likes Star Wars.

5.0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING, FANTASTIC AND FUN, April 10, 2000
This review is from: Star Wars: The Han Solo Omnibus: The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, Rebel Dawn (AU Star Wars) (Audio Cassette)
I do not have the tape. I have the book (book club edition that put all three books in one hard back. I remember the ending of Paradise Snare but the other two ran into each other so well - I can't say. I can say that this author did the homework and weaved in cameo appearances, bits and pieces of actions in Daley's books and ultimate result was a smashing success. I stayed up all night with Paradise Snare and (learning I need sleep I did better with the rest). It was so hard to put down and parts I would read and re-read. It was wonderful to come to this book after Phathom Menance and Vector Prime. I could enjoy the characterizations, the story and the universe. I felt like I had come home to SW again. Thanks Crispin - a fantastic job. This will be one well read and well loved book. I am going to get another copy to keep in case this one falls apart.
