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.

Action!

This is not your normal canon Star Wars story. The weirdness we love about SW gets pushed to an 11. The love story is amazing. The suspense is breath taking. The narration places you in a different mood with each narrator. Daniel's narration was as good as it was in A Certain Point of View. A few times I got lost and had to back track but that's probably my fault. Some times I'd be confused and the very next sentence explained what I was missing. I love this book. It may have dethroned Lost Stars.

good yet distracting

The 3 different timelines made it confusing at times. A index, glossery, and several maps would make this easier. Probably easier in the print version. The stories were good, but I wish the chapters were longer so it wouldn't bounce around so much. Voice acting and performance was marvellous, the performance made more sense of things. A narrator per story line.

Great new Storyline

I like that Last Shot takes us back and forth between pre-New Hope and after Return of the Jedi within developing the characters

Marc Thompson rules

Marc Thompson should read every audio book. his voices have a way of really bringing you into the book!

The Author’s Performance

I enjoyed the narration from Marc Thompson as well as January LaVoy, but for whatever reason the performance by Daniel José Older dropped the performance rating for me. Overall, it is very well done and executed, but Daniel falls short when paired next to Thompson and LaVoy.

Anyone that is interested in a reminiscent legends style adventure will be pleased with this canon addition to Han and Lando’s adventures. It is another great addition to the Star Wars canon material.
