Publisher's Summary
New York Times Best Seller
Han Solo and Lando Calrissian are reunited on the Millennium Falcon in a galaxy-spanning novel inspired by Solo: A Star Wars Story. But even the fastest ship in the galaxy can’t outrun the past...
THEN:
It’s one of the galaxy’s most dangerous secrets: a mysterious transmitter with unknown power and a reward for its discovery that most could only dream of claiming. But those who fly the Millennium Falcon throughout its infamous history aren’t your average scoundrels. Not once, but twice, the crew of the Falcon tries to claim the elusive prize - first, Lando Calrissian and the droid L3-37 at the dawn of an ambitious career, and later, a young and hungry Han Solo with the help of his copilot, Chewbacca. But the device’s creator, the volatile criminal Fyzen Gor, isn’t interested in sharing. And Gor knows how to hold a grudge....
NOW:
It’s been 10 years since the rebel hero Han Solo last encountered Fyzen Gor. After mounting a successful rebellion against the Empire and starting a family with an Alderaanian princess, Han hasn’t given much thought to the mad inventor. But when Lando turns up at Han’s doorstep in the middle of the night, it’s Fyzen’s assassins that he’s running from. And without Han’s help, Lando - and all life on Cloud City - will be annihilated.
With the assistance of a young hotshot pilot, an Ewok slicer prodigy, the woman who might be the love of Lando’s life, and Han’s best and furriest friend, the two most notorious scoundrels in the New Republic are working together once more. They’ll have to journey across the stars - and into the past - before Gor uses the device’s power to reshape the galaxy.

“The flat-out funniest Star Wars novel to date.” (Alternative Nation)

Good story, o.k performance
the story was pretty good, if you are a star wars fan who wants to delve deeper into the details of the star wars universe between the trilogies, this is one of those stories!
The story was pretty dark, and what I don’t like is that the intense moments in the story are so un-realistic, that it is just annoying. the most important characters become so close to death, that’s its stupid, and in reality, the chance of surviving such things are one in a thousand. but its just a story I guess.
performance was o.k. Marc Thompson was very good at expressing the dramatic parts of the story, and it was nice to listen to. but Daniel Jose Older was not very good. At the serious moments or dramatic moments, he sounded like it was funny, making the scene seem pretty badly performed.
other than that all g.

Space-lego and a coffee snob droid…
This is a genuinely funny book. Imagine Han walking over space-lego, dealing with a coffee snob droid. Han and Lando had so many witty lines. There was a moment where I was laughing out loud while on my morning walk, and people looked at me as if I was nuts. Well, what else can I say? It was funny, and it had an excellent level of stakes.
No matter what you say, the Phylanx Redux Transmitter has to be an image to Star Trek’s Borg.
