There’s a lot going on there, and Daley handles it all with aplomb and wit.

Daley’s Solo books are still to me the pinnacle of what the EU has to offer. As a western fan, I love Gallandro from Lost Legacy and the way Han took him out.

Frankly, I prefer Crispin’s books because of the insight they give into Han’s background (including some famous Kessel incident, for instance ) and they’re on the very top of my SW novels list. Still, the Daley’s trilogy that I picked up shortly afterward (I know, this order was a mistake of mine) is not worse – it’s just different. And it’s also really underrated. I’ve heard fans claiming it’s to oldschool and thus less starwarsy than modern EU positions.
Well, I can’t agree with them Those books were a real fun to read. Same as Jason, I enjoyed Bollux and Blue Max; Brian Daley came up with a lot of unique characters like Odumin, all those girls that Han hooks up with, great Gallandro… (in contrary to Ann Crispin, who digged a lot of characters from already existing sources – well, Daley didn’t have such an opportunity). And the plot itself has its memorable moments – my favourite ones being the destruction of Stars’ End (Han takes the whole structure almost single-handedly – that gave me a shiver), the pursuit on Bonadan and already classic final confrontation between Han and Gallandro.
I regret that I hadn’t got a chance to meet the author too. Those books of him are somewhat different from any other Star Wars novel I’ve ever read.
