Synopsis:
He was a child without a past, a Corellian street urchin, abandoned, foraging for scraps of food, when the cruel Garris Shrike whisked him away to a nomadic band of spacefaring criminals. Now, years later, chafing under Shrike's sadistic tyranny, driven by dreams of adventure and glory, Han fights his way free, his goal to become an Imperial Navy pilot. But first he needs hands-on experience flying spacecraft, and for that he takes a job on the planet Ylesia - a steaming world of religioud fanaticism, illicit drugs and alluring sensuality... where dreams are destroyed and escape is impossible.
Chronology:
The story begins approximately 26 years before the Battle of Yavin covering Han's youngest years, before moving to the main story sixteen years later. It is the first book of a trilogy.
