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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Chapter 10 is a great chapter, 11 Aug 1999
By A Customer
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars AUTHOR SCREWS UP STAR WARS STORYLINE; FILM AT 11, 8 Feb 1999
By A Customer
To be really honest to you all, I thumbed through this book at the local Waldenbooks, thinking this could be interesting. But guess what? In five minutes I came to the conclusion that the author has absolutely no clue as to what his subject matter is about. I think his concept of "Now and Thens" was used to throw the reader off so he could make his characters and character pairings seem logical in the Star Wars timeline, guess what? It didn't do anything but make an already screwed up story into a total farce. Hey! Jeter, 4-LOM and Zuckuss...not Bossk and Zuckuss, do some research...you only had to read one book...thats all you had to do...one book. You took all the stories that were written (and were all very good I might add) in "Tales of the Bounty Hunters", and destroyed all the authors complex characters and fascinating storylines and made most of the bounty hunters into steriotypical thugs and lame brains you might see in a bad Saturday morning cartoon, all except for Boba Fett, that guy was a wild and crazy "barve". That dudes a "barve" man, dont mess with that smelly "barve", you "barve"....what the hell is a "barve"? Do you even know? I know...i'll invent a word for "bad author", and it will be "jeterian". Here's a sentence using my newfound word! Don't read those books, I hear they're written by a "jeterian". By the gods!....this book must've been written by a "jeterian", i've never seen such crap in my whole life! That "jeterian" wrote a really screwed story about a "barve" when he should have been writing about Boba Fett! I pray to God that George Lucas hasn't seen or never does see your work...if he did he'd be extremely p***ed, and if he already has, you're probably the real reason he won't make any more movies after the next 3 prequels, and not his age. If i could....I'd give this book a "black hole".

5.0 out of 5 stars The best STAR WARS book I've read!, 17 April 2000
By A Customer
This is without shadow of a doubt the best STAR WARS book in a long time. Using Boba Fett as a main character was a risky but worthwhile manouver as it reveals a lot about his past without spoiling the little bits of backround the original trilogy dealt him, keeping Fett-fans like me-and indeed any STAR WARS fan-happy.
