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.

Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, a few years after Return of the Jedi, are both facing middle age and personal crises: Han's struggling to adapt to fatherhood, and Lando must decide whether his Twi'lek friend with benefits may be more than just that. When the former Rebel heroes are called upon to confront a threat from their pasts, the safety of the galaxy may be at stake. In a story interlaced with flashbacks going back ten to 20 years, the pair of scoundrels uncover a deranged plot to turn harmless droids into deadly weapons all across the galactic New Republic. Older delivers a fun, high-action ride featuring two fan favorites and a villain with a seriously creepy brand of followers. A couple of queer and nonbinary secondary characters are treated respectfully and without comment within the story but are notable for their rarity in Star Wars media. Veteran series narrator Marc Thompson delivers the goods as always--his Han and Lando voices are eerily authentic--and author Older and actor January LaVoy do a fine job with their flashback chapters. VERDICT Recommended for fans who enjoyed the Timothy Zahn Star Wars novel Scoundrels or the Marvel "Dr. Aphra" comics, or who want more Han and Lando in their life to accompany this spring's Solo film.--Jason Puckett, Georgia State Univ.
