* SeriesContinuityError: Possibly. Although the chapter segments dealing with young Lando and L3-37 flying the Millenium Falcon are stated as taking place about 15 years before the present-day events which take place two years after the Battle of Jakku, this appears to be an error, since the young Lando segment must take place before the events of Solo: A Star Wars Story.

* BodyHorror: You know how Cyborgs work? Well Fyzen, in a sense, does the opposite. Crafting decapitated organic limbs to droids, limbs mind you, that decay over time. And to add to the creepiness, he gets them by having his droids kill organics and his taking their body parts.

Back then, it was 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 weren't your average scoundrels. Not once, but twice, the crew of the ''Falcon'' tried 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, wasn't interested in sharing. And Gor knows how to hold a grudge...

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.

* AIIsACrapshoot: A [[BrainwashedAndCrazy kill order]] is transmitted to droids across the galaxy, driving them into bloodlust and violence towards organics. It wears off, though.

!!Tropes in this novel include:

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.
