Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. F/SF Naaaah. It tries very hard to be something like "Indiana Jones in space" (complete with face-melting after the much sought-after artifact is found), but it doesn't work. It's too weird, especially nearing the end. It's also not well-written and the plot is a little too complicated. Lando is ... I don't know. I get that he's younger than we see him in the movie, but it still doesn't seem much like him. My fave part was his droid friend, who was fun when he wasn't annoying. I think the book should be more about Lando conning his way through space rather than this. This book was a Con....as in "Con Artist". Everything about it was fake. I am Star Wars fan but I must say that I did not enjoy this book. First off, there were no Jedi, or even Jedi implications in this book. A Star Wars book with out the Jedi Mysticism is like having a strawberry sundae without the strawberries. Without giving too much of the story away(For those that wish to read it), Lando was "con-ed" into this mission. He went along with a droid, who was programmed to "Con" Lando and any other person who attempted to obtain this object called the Mindharp and in the end?........well, lets leave it at the fact that I felt "con-ed" into reading this story because it was branded with "Star Wars". Let me read you the "About the Author" section at the very end. It gives you a good indication of the source of this book and possibly why to avoid it. Self defense consultant and former police reservist, L.Neil Smith has also worked as a gunsmith and a professional musician. Born in Denver in 1946, he traveled widely as an Air Force "brat", growing up in a dozen regions of the United States and Canada. In 1964, he returned home to study philosophy, psychology, and anthropology, and wound up with what he refers to as perhaps the lowest grade point average in the histoyr of Colorado State University. Now I know why people read the final pages of the book first. If I had read this first, I would have saved myself a ton of time waddling through this one. I would welcome any and all comments about this book, but please be aware that if you are like me, you will certainly need "The Force" to get through it. What bothered me greatly was playing Lando for a happy go-lucky and hapless gambler. Personality wise it just doesn’t match with what I remember from Empire and Return of the Jedi. Not just that he can’t get a break. As if he’s completely dumb. He’s a comedy act. Think Jar Jar Binks. And how much did people like Jar Jar? Very little. Bah.
