This book opens with a time sometime after Return of the Jedi and Lando is back on Cloud City with a droid making company. He's managed to get the Twi'lek Kaasha Bateen to bring her class there so he can see her. They are spending a night alone when one of his droids attempts to kill him. He catches a glimpse of a man in a green cloak running and leaving the planet once he gets away from the droid. This is Fryzen Gor who has told him to turn over the Phylanx that he got with the Millennium Falcon ten years ago. Only he didn't have the Falcon then. Han did. So he goes to Han and Leia's and baby Ben's house and punches Han in the face for his trouble. Han tells him that ten years ago he was with Chewie and Sana his "ex-wife", but that they have it exactly.
This book flips back and forth through time and goes to when Han and Chewie were at Maz's castle and Sana comes up to them with a proposition. She needs a fast ship to get something out of there fast and she can pay a lot of money to do so. What she doesn't tell them is the number of people that are after what she has or what she is looking for which is the Phylanx.
It also goes back in time to fifteen years ago when Lando was with L3-37 and they chased down something that L3 was after in a far-off section of space. Imperial ships were after this man and what he had, but L3 wants Lando to get it from him. For some reason that eludes Lando, this is very important to L3.
In the present day, Lando, Han, Chewie, an Ewok slicer named Peekpa, Kaasha, and Taka a pilot with a prison transport ship that they need for the mission plan to go to a prison colony to get some information on Gor. When they arrive, the Republic fleet is there going toe to toe with some pirates so they have a little bit of trouble getting docked on the moon but even more trouble leaving the place when their cover is blown while they're inside.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the complex issues it brought up concerning artificial intelligence. It's also fun to see Han and Lando work together again. It's also pretty cool to read about Lando and L3 and Han and Sana two very different relationships, yet quite complicated in their own way. This book is a great read and a real adventure. I highly recommend this book.
