SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW: Star Wars: Millenium Falcon - James Luceno


BOOK BLURB:

In an exciting, action-packed adventure spanning the time from "The Phantom Menace" to the end of the "Legacy of the Force" series, Han and Leia go an adventure to search for clues to the Millennium Falcon's past...and a possible treasure! Shortly after the events of the "Legacy of the Force" series, Han and Leia encounter something hidden on the Millennium Falcon that dates back to the years before Han won the ship from Lando Calrissian in a game of Sabaac. In an effort to unravel the mystery, they follow the clues of the Millennium Falcon's history back to its very construction, and discover an elaborate - and failed - plot to overthrow the Emperor.


REVIEW:

As a fan of the Star Wars universe since I was a child I’d always wondered about the history of the Falcon. Well, here for the first time is the book that will bring delight to many fans although acting more as a filler to the current series than anything else.

Its witty, it has moments of bravery as well as moments of great humour but above all it’s fun and a nice little addition to the Lucas Mythos. Playing with your Falcon will never be the same again…
