Last Shot — Ion Cannon #250

It’s the 250th episode of Ion Cannon and we’re back with our review of Star Wars: Last Shot by Daniel José Older, a novel which serves as both a prequel and sequel of sorts to Solo: A Star Wars Story.

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.

  1. Sorry to reply you here but I don’t have Twitter account.
    The most missing feature in OneNote is fully support for Math.

    Apple gave its users full LaTeX support for Math equations in its suite.
    It is about time Microsoft will give its users a proper Math Support.
    We have great Math in MarkDown these days, why should we comporomise in a fully featured application like OneNote?
    Just drop the current half baked support and join the LaTeX Syntax World.
