Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter, Book 3: Hard Merchandise

I won't bother with th usual setting and timeline nonsense, because it's obvious in the book. From book 1, "The Mandalorian Armour" to the last, these books have something for everyone who is a fan of Star Wars! If its not Fett and his cold emotionless lines, then its Palpatine and his cronies who seek to do anything to gain favour with their overlord! The intamacy in these novels in respect to character relations is above all typical Star Wars! An introdustion to a more wider knowledge of the galaxies inhabitants in these books is paramount to their success. The storyline is at some points (because of the layout) a bit danting, but is well rounded up in the later chapters when all of the puzzle fits into place! This book comes highly recomended.

This is the third and final novel in K.W. Jeter's Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. It follows the bounty hunter characters featured in The Empire Strikes Back -- Boba Fett, Zuckuss, Bossk, Dengar, and 4-LOM alongside characters of the author's own creation like Ku'dar Mu'bat, Kuat of Kuat, and the mind-wiped heroine of the trilogy, Neelah.Each of the novels follows a galaxy-spanning conspiracy hatched by sinister forces that ensnares Boba Fett and the other bounty hunters in various ways. It takes place alongside the events of the original Star Wars trilogy of films. This third book is the conclusion of the series, and it is a satisfying one.KW Jeter is an excellent writer and one of my favorite authors that I've discovered while reading the Star Wars expanded universe novels. This book will not disappoint fans of both Star Wars and thoughtful science fiction.

This final book in the Mandalorian Trilogy did not disappoint. It connected the, behind the scene, tail of Bobba Fett from the beginning of The Return of the Jedi to the battle on Endor. This should be the next Star War movie

Fast shipping. Great book for a gift.

This story line is a great read. The author did a wonderful job of describing the feel of each environment and it affect in the three main characters. I recommend this book to all Star Wars fans.

very happy thank you

Great story, it was a ex-library book.. no it had those markings.. But otherwise good.

This book is the quickest moving, and best by far in this trilogy. The action is better, the narrative is far less repetitive, and all of the confusing plot points will be cleaned up and make sense. The other two books, for all their shortcomings, are completely vindicated by this one.

Teil 3 gefällt mir auch weiterhin. Wie die bei den anderen kann ich hier auch nur sagen : Ganz gut! Katz- und Mausspiel mal anders. Der Boba hat schon viel erlebt...

Un netto passo avanti rispetto ai due precedenti volumi del medesimo autore. Finalmente alle (sterminate) sessioni di riflessioni e dialoghi viene affiancato un cospicuo quantitativo di azione.Boba Fett decisamente "pesante", dimostrandosi per il terzo libro consecutivo come l'indivoduo duro e puro inscalfibile.

it arrived in good time and there is no damage....i am satisfied.......thank you

I was looking forward to not just this book but the whole trilogy. Boba Fett is a much spoken about character within Star Wars so I was looking forward to his character being fleshed out. There is plenty about Jango Fett in the Clone Wars novels and especially the Clones themselves in Karen Traviss's most excellent Commando novels. Unfortunately the character depicted here is so dead-pan he barely demonstrates any personality whatsoever. But that is not the worst part of this trilogy. The most excrutiating part is horribly self indulgent prose engaged throughout. Sci-Fi is just not the place for long narratives, its about clear and engaging story-telling. I was interested in the story of Boba Fett, linking his character to the demise of Jango in the Clone Wars. There was none of that. Not only was the writing overly descriptive, I thought the linguistic devices were tortured and clumsy in any case. There were also quirky jumps all over the story line, perticularly between books. In some ways it was like one book sliced into three and yet it seemed the author had spent years doing something else between books and never bothered to catch up on his own story line. Never more so than between books 2 and 3 where book 2 ends with Xizor standing on the bridge of the Virago and begins book 3 on the bridge of the Vendetta. Did he transfer between vessels or did the author forget the name of the flagship of one of his principal characters? Perhaps Star Wars fans know the answer but it is not clear to the unitiated. Jeter is a renowned sci fi writer but this (hopefully) is not him at his best! I am looking forward to reading Karen Traviss's treatment of the Boba Fett character, perhaps she will add some depth to that otherwise blank visor!
