Summary: ok but whats up with fetts past?
Review: i thaught the book was a ok. but the book is supposed to be about boba fett right? so we know nothing of his past. all we know is that he was present when d'haren became a killing machine. and that he has earned the right to wear the mandalorian armor. but how did he become a bounter hunter? or meet d'harhan? or who were the others that were like d'harhan and how did fett know them? if jeter would have switched between one story and a explanation to some of fetts past the book would have been much more interesting. but since i am a SW freak i am very much looking forward to the next book in the series.

Summary: Uhh it's an okay book
Review: Well Jeter is a good writer but i dont think he should have been the one to write this. Anderson would have dont a better job. One thing is seems like Jeter made a star wars version of something that should have been in Blade Runner, not just because of the line "More human than Human" And its confusing when they said it takes place during Return of the Jedi when most of it doesnt.

Summary: The Best Star Wars Book to Date (my opinion)
Review: IF you like books with action, thrill, and adventure then you will love thisbook. This is a must-read for any Boba Fett fan. It is kindof a "Reveal Boba Fett's nearpast book". It takes you from the Imperial Center(Coruscant) to Tatooine, and to the Bounty Hunters Guild. It is a stroy of deception, due to the Empire planing to wipe out the BHG. If you love Star Wars books, read this one. ~~William Halverson

Summary: Great Book...
Review: This was in my opinion a great book but it was only the third book that I read. I liked the new characters of D'harhan and Bossk's father Cradossk. I am looking forward to the next Bounty Hunter Wars Books.

Summary: Pretty Interesting Book.........
Review: I think this book was an average one for the Star Wars novels. The story was great but the characters weren't depicted enough to know what they really are. I am looking forward to see how this series turns out. I liked the new characters of Cradossk and D'harhan.

Summary: If you know nothing about the SW galaxy, you *MIGHT* enjoy
Review: Jeter has accopmlished what I once thought none could do: outdone Vonda McIntyre in the boredom department. I saw the book on the shelf at the bookstore and was excited. A whole book devoted to the exploits of Boba Fett! My heart raced as I took it to the checkout line and paid an hour's worth of hard work for the novel. I am an avid reader and I usually devour SW novels in a day or less, and I tore into the book... only to put it down for the next week. When I did pick it up again, I had to force myself to keep reading. Stylisticly, Jeter displays a mastery of high school level metaphors. His constant attempts to incorporate common idioms in a SW style or with terms from the SW universe crashed and burned. Example, one character named Cradossk trying to tell Zuckuss to shut his mouth says, "keep your vocal apparatus muted..." Come on! Between being upset at the way Jeter ruins continuity of the SW timeline, having my intelligence insulted at moronic attempts of idiom-morphing, and being disappointed in the repetitious nature of the chapters and the difficult-to-follow shifting from THEN to NOW and back to THEN, I got a lot of good sleep. BTW, someone <please> edit the "reader from Arizona"'s review and spell "Boba" correctly! END

Summary: An Excellent Addition To The Star Wars Universe
Review: I have been disappointed by many recent Star Wars novels that I have read, but the name of K.W. Jeter, and the promise of Boba Fett as a central character, led me to pick up the latest entry in the ever-growing series. I was glad that I had; it more than made up for some of the others. The back-and-forth between two different timelines allows Jeter to more fully explore the characters he deals with, but can be a bit confusing at times. The high points of the novel, however, are the depiction of a pre-SOTE confrontation between Prince Xizor and Vader, and the portrayal of the coldly efficient, nearly-inhuman Boba Fett. Some of the more fanatical Star Wars fans, those who accept all that has been written in previous novels (no matter how poorly done) as unchanging fact may not be happy, however. Jeter offers a different interpretation of certain characters...in most cases, I found Jeter's spin on matters preferable. I am also happy to see that new authors are not straitjacketed by others' efforts. If you like Boba Fett, or byzantine plots, then read this book.

Summary: Do not bother.
Review: Well, if you throw out all continuity with the rest of the Star Wars universe - at least that according to previously published material - this novel might be engaging. Major problems: 1.) the character of Zuckuss is NOT the character met in _Tales of the Bounty Hunters_ SS "Of Possible Futures: the Story of Zuckuss and 4-LOM" by M. Shayne Bell. 2.) no mention of 4-LOM anywhere, instead Bossk is teamed with Zuckuss? 3.) One character Dharhan is introduced as a tease into Boba Fett's past and then summarily killed a hundred pages later. 4.) IG-88 is a different character than that presented in all previous material, especially "Therefore I Am: The Tale of IG-88" by Kevin J. Anderson. And there are more. If you prefer material that is consistent with the SW universe do not read, buy, or even acknowledge the existence of this book. How it got past the presses and published is beyond me.

Summary: BEST STAR WARS BOOK EVER WRITTEN
Review: I absolutely Loved this book. It was probably the best of any book ever written that has anything to do with the STAR WARS saga. The characters were well done and they were more than just a bunch of one dimensional people. I especially liked the two new characters that were introduced: D'harhan and K'udar M'ubat. The plot and story line flowed well, and it kept me interested right up until the last page.

Summary: Possibly the worst "SW" novel ever penned.....
Review: With over 30 Star Wars books published in such a short period of time, it was bound to happen: a book so tedious, so uninspired as to disappoint even the most ardent fan - a group to which I do not belong. Having received numerous review copies of the "SW" novels over the years, though, I have come to enjoy most of them; they are "comfort food." Novels that do not require much thinking, and are simply "a good read," which is all the author (and the copyright holder, Lucasfilms), owes the reader, and nothing more. But "SW: The Mandalorian Armor," falls far short of being a good read. In fact, only the MOST ardent SW fan will be able to endure finishing the book, which, of course, as is obligatory with all SW novels, ends on a cliff-hanger. First-time SW author K. W. Jeter ignores the basic tenet of ALL SW novels; Jeter fails utterly to engage the reader with the characters. Those portrayed are not even evil enough to inspire dislike; the emotions evoked are more tepid than that. And the protagonist of the piece - Bobba Fett, the "most feared Bounty Hunter in the Universe," fails utterly to engage the reader in *any* sense; he is not adequately depicted, nor his character drawn, to invoke any feelings whatsoever. If Jeter's intent was to make Fett "mysterious," he fails miserably; at the novel's end, Fett is nothing more to the reader than an unexplained automaton, with fewer emotions or motivations than the ever-present droids (whom, by the way, are treated uncharacteristically cavalierly in this book, unusual for the SW series). While the infamous Bobba Fett that is met in other SW novels is to be feared, *this* Bobba Fett may well be feared for his expertise; but nothing else emerges. Nothing. The other characters that enter the work - Hutts, Xizor, Palpatine, etc., as well as two humans who become involved with Fett, again, fail utterly to engage the reader. At the end, during the ubiquitous cliff-hanger, the only thing ! warranted is a shrug; the characters are neither evil enough to cause the reader to desire their destruction, nor is any reason ever provided why the reader should hope for their salavage. Due to the SW time frame in which this is written, the reader *already* knows that Bobba Fett survives; the only reason to read the next book would be to see how, if one were interested enough.....an interest that this author simply does not create in any way. My advice to even the most avid SW fan would be: don't waste your money, and hope that Lucasfilms realizes that *this* author cannot and does not fit in with the rest of the SW Universe of authors, and replaces him with someone else to write the rest of the trilogy/quadrilogy, or whatever it is to be. Flat, uninteresting, uninspired....those are the kindest words I can find for this particular SW novel.
