I read and reviewed each of the three volumes collected here separately, so this is basically just for my own records. The collection rating is an average of that given to the individual books - both Mindharp and Flamewind earned three stars from me, while Starcave only earned two - it had a pretty terrible ending and an increasingly silly antagonist, and the giant likeable space-dwelling aliens didn't make up for either.

Look, these books aren't rocket science. There's not a lot to them and they're absolutely popcorn reads, but they're still entertaining enough if you want something fun and undemanding, and they serve to round out Lando's character a little more. They are too, it must be said, light years ahead of Brian Daley's Han Solo trilogy, so if you only get the chance to read one of these introductory series, do yourself a favour and pick Smith's.
