More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The first volume in a trilogy set in the underworld of "Shadows of the Empire". Just at the time of Prince Xizor's fall, bounty hunters like Bobba Fett, Bossk and Dengar, begin a war for control of the underworld beneath the evil empire.
From the Back Cover
He's the most feared and successful bounty hunter in the galaxy. He is Boba Fett, and even the most hardened criminals tremble at his name. Now he faces the deadliest challenge of his infamous career - an all-out war against his most dangerous enemies.
THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR
As the Rebellion gathers force, Prince Xizor proposes a cunning plan to the Emperor and Darth Vader: smash the power of the Bounty Hunters Guild by turning its members against each other. Only the strongest and most ruthless will survive, and they can be used against the Rebellion. It's a job for the fiercely independent Boba Fett, who jumps at the chance to destroy his rivals. But Fett soon realizes the game is rigged as he finds himself the target of murderous factions, criminal conspiracies and the evil at the Empire's dark heart. Boba Fett has always finished first. And in this game, anything less is death.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I like this book and chapter 10 make it worth it. When Vader and the Emperor are discuss boba fett and how he earn the right to wear the Mandalorian Armor that was great. Plus when the Emperor say that he and Vadar know about the secret of the Mandalorian make me wonder about there role in the second star war moive.

Format:Paperback
The fact that this trilogy uses only one of the regular Star Wars characters does not stop it from being a great story. It is refreshing to see that someone out there can take an idea and expand on it to such marvellous effect. The book deals with the seemingly indestructable Boba Fett, and makes you wish that the films had developed his character more, and using Steve Perry's Creation PRINCE XIZOR makes for a wonderful story with plenty of work for the imagination. And lets face it, all the best characters in Star Wars were evil.

I am a huge Star Wars fan. I am also a fan of good modern and classic literature. I hadn't read a STAR WARS book since my mum picked up 'Han Solo's Revenge' and 'Han Solo and the Lost Legacy' when I was about ten. So after reading Ted Hughes 'Birthday Letters' I decided I'd like to read something light and entertaining. I picked this up. The series called THE BOUNTY HUNTER WARS has been slated by all the hardcore PRETENTIOUS fans. This is a rollercoaster ride of blaster fire and an insight into the terror known as Boba Fett. Anyone who saw the bounty hunter line up in EMPIRE and wished it had been longer will love this book. Don't think you're going to get a classic, you're not - what you will get is a book you can't put down that leaves you on a cliffhanger certifying your purchase of the next book...
