I, Jedi

I, Jedi by Michael Stackpole
A tie-in to both the X-Wing series and the Jedi Academy Trilogy, this novel tells the story of Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn on his quest to become one of Luke Skywalker's new Jedi. Set at the same time as the Jedi Academy Trilogy, this book shows Luke Skywalker's first batch of Jedi students from a new point of view, and takes readers on a new adventure far beyond the Academy's walls.

I, Jedi was the first Star Wars novel to focus entirely on a character who wasn't in the movies, and is one of the only Star Wars books written in the first person.

Tales From the New Republic

Tales From the New Republic by various authors
A collection of short stories about characters both new and old, including fan favorites such as Boba Fett and Mara Jade. Some of these stories are reprinted from the Star Wars Adventure Journal, a roleplaying game magazine from the mid-1990s, but many others appear for the first time in this book. Among them is the four-part novella Interlude at Darknell, a cooperative effort by Michael Stackpole and Timothy Zahn and a bit of a prequel to the X-Wing series and Thrawn Trilogy.

Some stories in the book take place in the New Republic era (after Return of the Jedi), while others are set before and between the films of the Star Wars Trilogy.

Crosscurent & Riptide

Crosscurrent & Riptide by Paul S. Kemp
Two junk salvagers team up with a Jedi knight for an adventure that turns out to be much more than they bargained for, with danger around every turn, and dark mysteries lying in wait. Meanwhile, an ancient Jedi and Sith caught in a hyperspace time warp are on a collision course with all the action. Rollicking adventures starring a mostly new and endearing (but inexplicably all-male) cast of characters.
