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.

Praise for Last Shot:

“Action-packed in all the right ways.” (Tordotcom)

“A fun, breezy read, with plenty of humor, Ewok hackers, murderous robots, and rousing fight scenes as Han and Lando go from scrape to scrape [to] track down a long-forgotten enemy.” (The Verge)

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

A star wars story

Another solid performance by Marc Thompson. the story was good but not as engaging as others. it can together at the end well but the villain was not as flushed out and so didn't bring any real urgency but great to see Lando and Han in the seat again!

Great story gets hurt by narrators

I will leave the story reviews to others but will simply say it was a fun adventure and well told journey for Han and Landon’s characters. My focus is more on he audio production.

Star Wars books have always had an incredible audio production and Last Shot continues that. From sound effects to music, the mood and feel are emphasized by the soundscape.

Marc Thompson is an incredible narrator for Star Wars and continues to remain my favourite as the accuracy and range of his characters is incredible. Here is where the issue starts. The story is told in 3 time periods and each time period is read by a different narrator. The problem is that every time the switch would occur it only emphasizes how strong Marc’s narration is. Don’t get me wrong. January LaVoy is the female narration Star Wars needed and I love her addition here as the droid and even her version of Lando is solid. However, as solid as his writing is, Daniel’s narration pales in comparison to the others and I wonder if he forced his way in to read his own book. I often struggled to enjoy the sections with Sana due to his narration which sucks as I really enjoyed seeing her backstory with Han.

Perhaps I am being too picky. Overall this is still a must listen but I ask to stick to one narrator or use each narrator for different characters instead of the different time frames as I found it more of a distraction then a benefit.

Was good

Was good but struggled through the back story narration with the male narrator. Better stories out there but can't expect them to be all amazing I guess.

Missed the Mark with Last Shot

There was so many flash backs in the narrative that it made it hard to follow, but what made it SO much worse was their use of two subsidiary narrators for the flashbacks. They read the story differently and the voices for the different characters was nonexistent.

The main narrator was awesome! Except the Chewbacca voice was absolutely horrible with the main narrator, and normal with the other narrators.

The plot line of the main story was a little weak with the whole replacing limbs from organic beings to attach them to droids. If droids are superior and the limbs always needed replacing, why not just replace the limbs with droid parts that are obviously superior? It makes sense that organic limbs could be used when no droid parts were available, but to continue using organic limbs makes no sense.

Good story but only 2 good narrators out of the 3

The story was good. I enjoyed the adventure and even the time jumping. Marc and January do an incredible job, as always, narrating this novel. The third narrator however (I believe it's the author of the novel) was dreadful. His narration took me out of the experience and I found myself cringing through a majority of his narration. From a normal audiobook narration perspective he did just fine, but due to the precedent set by all previous star wars audiobooks and their high level of production, which creates an enthralling star wars experience; well, it just was even close to cutting it.

Fun story, mostly good reading

Really enjoyed the story, and great performances by Marc and January. Not so much from the author though. #Audible1

decent story, odd dialogue

interesting story and characters, but I wasn't a fan of the dialogue. Marc and Jessica were on point as always, but I felt the sections with Daniel were not done as well. more change in tone between characters would be better to tell them apart.

overall a fun story with good background to the characters.

Bad performance from Older

He delivered the worst performance I’ve heard on audible over the past 5 years but Thompson and Lavoy are brilliant as ever.
