Han Solo and the Lost Legacy

Han Solo and the Lost Legacy is a science fiction novel set in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.

It is set prior to the events of A New Hope. Unlike the first two books in the trilogy, which introduced and largely fleshed out the Corporate Sector, in this book Han and Chewbacca's adventures take place in the Tion Hegemony.
