I really liked the Thrawn series. There is a prequel book called Outbound Flight that is an origin story of sorts for the trilogy.
I thought the Han Solo trilogy was very good. It covered his past right up until New Hope. So you get to experience the Kessel run, his dealings with Jabba, etc.
Personally I really enjoyed the Republic Commando novels. They cover an elite group of clones during the clone wars leading up to Order 66. There was one book written after that called the 501st that covered clones that were drafted into Vader's personal battalion after the jedi purge. Unfortunately, the author got into a pissing match with the publishers and the series is now on hold.
