The later solo trilogy is pretty fun, and the Lando novels are good old fashioned sci-fi.
By the “later Solo trilogy” I’m assuming that you are referring to the books by A. C. Crispin?
(Aren’t they also the books that tried to explain the whole Kessel run in 12 parsecs thing by having the Falcon go near a black hole, or something like that? I always found that explanation really silly, but of course that doesn’t necessarily mean that the stories are bad. I’ve just read very polarized opinions about that trilogy.)
