I enjoyed "Courtship" so much (even though the kidnapping was tough to swallow), that I had to track down his other works. Sadly, "Courtship" lost a lot of its luster once I devoured "On My Way to Paradise" and "The Golden Queen" trilogy. But don't take my word for it, read the reviews of "On My Way to Paradise" on Amazon, and you'll be well on your way to reading one of the greatest novels of all-time. <br /><br />My favorite "Star Wars" novel has to be book 3 of "The Han Solo Trilogy: Rebel Dawn" by A.C. Crispin, but even it doesn't come close to "On My Way to Paradise" or "The Golden Queen."<br /><br />On a sad note that bodes poorly for the future of the world, I just introduced my 12 year-old nephew to the original (unedited) "Star Wars" film trilogy. Let's just say that this young "Star Wars" fanatic was far from impressed by old relics from my past. Afterwards, he "force"d me to sit with him and watch "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" cartoons and play various Lego "Star Wars" games on his X-Box. Afterwards, he told me how sad he was for his dad and I to have not had the awesome recent "Star Wars" games, movies, books, and merchandise that he is immersed in when we were his age. I couldn't help myself and told him, "Yes, but at least we aren't like your grandmother. She lived during "Star Wars: Dark Times." Now, he's begging his dad to get him those pre-Republic comics to see how life was back in his grandmother's time before there were "Star Wars" films. Ah, to still be so young and gullible.John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.com
