The Timothy Zhan books are the only ones I can vouch for, but they are excellent, they take place IIRC 10 years after the battle of Yavin 4 the empire is in a shambles, and losing ground, and the republic is starting to lose itself to infighting, when a figure from the past(unmentioned in the movies) reappears to save the day for the Empire.
I don't know if you have access to the Star Wars d20 (or West End Games d6 Star Wars) but alot of their background information comes from the novels (and comics as well) and can summarize alot of the info in the books for you.
