Publisher Description

In this first episode of an exciting new trilogy, the blockbuster adventures of Star Wars "RM" continue...

Ambush At Corellia

A trade summit on Corellia brings Han Solo back to the home planet he left many years before. Arriving on the distant planet with Leia, their children, and Chewbacca, Han finds Corellia overrun with agents of the New Republic Intelligence and finds himself part of a deceptive plan whose aim not even he understands. One thing is clear: the five inhabited worlds of the sector are on the brink of civil war and the once peaceful co-existence of the three leading species -- human, Selonian, and Drallan -- has come to an end.

Suddenly all that Han, Leia, and others of the Alliance have fought for is threatened. As jammerships block all communication with Luke Skywalker and the outside universe, Han and Leia find themselves trapped on a world about to explode in violence unless they can meet a fanatical rebel leader's impossible demands...

"I really do like the Corellian Trilogy. It's a lot of fun and has some mystery to it. It's probably my third favorite Star Wars trilogy set after Return of the Jedi (first would by Thrawn, second would be Jedi Academy). My only problem was that I remember listening to this book on tape (sorry, is it called audio books now?...it used to be on tape back in the day), and all I wanted to was listen to the tape version because it was done really well. Sigh. I guess if that's my only problem, then this book--this series really--is very well done."

    " Yet another fun series, where the Solo kids run amok. We learn more about Han's family, Sal-Solo, and a family feud ensues. Decent quality writing, and a nice story line. This book is recommended as a must read. "

    " I couldn't get through it...and believe me, I tried. I found the writing style dull, and the story completely unengaging. The main characters were bland wallpaper, compared to their depiction in other novels in the series. A great pity, as I would have enjoyed a more thorough exploration of Han Solo's home planet. "

    " Everybody seems to be heading for Corellia. Might they be walking into an ambush??? Not a bad story really, but things take too long to build. We'll see what happens next in part 2 of this trilogy. "

    " Considering what happens to the Solo and Skywalker families in the future, it is nice to read a series back when things seemed a lot simpler. "

    " Good Read...if you don't mind some Star Wars backstory like Chewie is Han's side kick becuase Chewie owes him a life debt for freeing him from slavery. That comment was like a 7 on the geek radar. But still an enjoyable read. "

    " I read a lot of Star Wars novels in Jr. High. It took a few dozen books before I realized many of them just weren't all that stellar. Ah, well, I'll squirrel away the memories on the internet and free up a book shelf. "

    " One of the better "early" Star Wars books, focused on the main characters from the original trilogy. An interesting setup for the rest of the series. "

    " I've read worse. I liked Corellia and fleshing that system out a bit. The Solo family tie-ins were a bit too convenient, but I can let things slide. "

    " I don't understand why the Star Wars writers can't create a decent original character that's likable and believable. Also, none of them so far have written the Solo children very well. "

    " Yes, sometimes I read Star Wars books..... Now, there are good Star Wars books and there are bad Star Wars books. This was one of the bad ones. If you're looking for a good one, get the Han Solo Trilogy by AC Crispin. Those were good Star Wars books. "

    " Was a great trilogy, though it was not the strongest finish. I mean it was great that we got through the storyline, and everyone meeting up for a glorious final battle was good, it just felt rushed and like a patched together ending. Still a good trilogy by all accounts. "

    " A nice conclusion to the trilogy, lots of action. The cameos and dialogue are a plus. I personally particularly liked the Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade plot lines. This series, and especially this particular book, are necessary for later developments in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. "
