Last Shot (Star Wars)

A Han and Lando Novel

De: Daniel José Older

Narrado por: Marc Thompson, Daniel José Older, January LaVoy

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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 universe 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 ten 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.

Leave the narration to the professionals...

Marc Thompson is perhaps my favorite narrator in the business, his work is tremendous and when he is reading it’s great. I haven’t gotten to January’s part yet, but she has done well in the past so I expect the same. All would be good except the author is doing narration too now and I am just taken completely out of the story. I’m extremely disappointed. It’s an interesting story, but I don’t really want to hear it performed by the writer.

Not a fan of the authors narration

The author of the book was honestly my least favorite star wars audiobook narrator so far. it was very confusing to follow the story at times because he used the same voice for Han, Sana, and the narration.

Got me even more pumped to watch Solo!

I've read and/or listened to all of the Star Wars material. Last Shot ranks right near the top. tThe story is well written, Han and Lando are PERFECT, no matter what part of the story your in. The 3 narrators at first was a concern, then I realized why they did it and it was a genius move. I knew I would get something fun, especially after reading From a Certain Point of View where Older wrote and performed the short story, Born in the Storm. You definitely need to check this book out!

Never let this author read for you again

What were you guys thinking letting these guest narrators read?? Apparently the guest male wrote the book but DOESNT UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT OF THE SCENES HES READING... how does he read every single scene jovially when he’s the guy who wrote it??? He reads a dark and somber scene like it’s someone birthday party.

AUDIBLE: do us all a favor and never let him read again. He ruined the whole thing. Will never buy again if his name is attached.

Read this one instead.

Did not like having three different voice actors. Daniel Jose Older's performance was not good and very distracting. Story had some fantastic characters and great grasp of Han and Lando but was not a fan of the plot.
