Sounds like a cool book eh? WRONG! This has got to be the WORST novels I have ever read in my entire life and by far the worst star wars novel written in my opinion. The story spans three novels, covers very little things interested and bores you to sleep. In the New Jedi Order series, I could finish a book in 3 days because I was so drawn in..it took me 2 months to read these 3 books! It was like a punishment for me to read.
So the story takes place after Boba Fett blows up the sarlacc pit and is saved by another bounty hunter. The first two books are pretty much all written with flashbacks recounting the "good old days" of bounty hunting. The plot is horrible, it keeps showing Boba Fett as a bad ass who never actually does anything. And one of the most annoying things is the characters are constantly thinking about the situation they're in. They will literally spend 2 pages reflecting on their present circumstance then a paragraph where something happens and then another 3 pages to explain that paragraph...then 5 pages later you'll get another character re-doing the same thing but from his point of view. ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING.
The author just doesn't get you to care or make the characters in his plot make much sense. In the beginning there's this bounty hunters guild which Boba Fett refuses to be in...then he gets paid to join it so that he can break it up...he literally just sits there in the guild while everyone becomes suspicious of him and then end up killing each other and destroying the guild. The rest of the books all of the bounty hunters are pissed at Boba Fett because he destroyed the guild. WTF!? He didn't do a damn thing except show up there...it's really stupid.
I really recommend to KEEP AWAY from these novels, pick up any other star wars novel by chance and it will probably be better then this. In fact pick up a children's book about the color blue and it will probably be more interesting.
Luckily for me I've already started the Legacy of the Force series which already has me glued to the pages after only 20 pages in!
