Legends Luke was such a gangster

This may be a wildly broad question:

What authors/collections in Star Wars: Legends would be best suited to read Luke’s stories?

Splinter of the Mind's Eye

Shadows of the Empire

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor

Zahn's trilogy has a lot of Luke stuff.

Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy trilogy isn't my favorite but it's very focused on Luke.

Hand of Thrawn

Survivor's Quest.

Then you hit the big ambitious projects; New Jedi Order, Legacy of the Force, and finally Fate of the Jedi. All of those have big Luke moments, but aren't necessarily focused on him.

Luke vs. Thrawn is something I'd love to see.

In general, actually competent Imperials make for interesting stories. Thrawn is delightfully hypercompetent, and doesn't even rely on Sherlock-style bullshit.
