Summary: Finally delivers the merchandise
Review: This review is for the Audio Casette. The events in this book is supposed to take place in year 4 ANH on the timeline. Xizor is in this book and Xizor dies during year 3 so one could say this book takes place somewhere between NH and right up to his death just before the events in Shadows of the Empire and ROTJ. Having said that, the book starts by telling us how Boba Fett survives the Sarlacc. Huh? You put this trilogy on the time line where you want.Of all the books and comics about the bounty hunters, this one is clearly the best, and most informative. It looks like a lot of people liked this book less than I did by all the 1 star reviews and lack of 5 star reviews. I may have liked the story, in fact the entire trilogy because I have yet to read the books, only listened to the audio. I drive a lot and also listen while exercising. The audio is very abridged because about 1,100 pages are condensed into 7.5 hours of very enjoyable listening. Plus, check out the performance from the reader Anthony Heald, he is awesome. The point that my review doesn't mean the others were wrong if they thought the story was slow and boring. Bantam cut a lot of stuff out for the audio, and sometimes that is a good thing. I do wish that they offered unabridged, but they seldom do. Characters? They are all here plus some interesting new characters. In the audio version one is really drawn to the Dengar character. Made me buy a couple 4 inch action figures after the first time I listened to this trilogy. I have gone through it at least twice so far. The title is misnomer and selected for marketing reasons only. Even the trilogy title, Bounty Hunter Wars is a misnomer. A more accurate title would BH Treachery. Want to know more about the Mandalorian's and their armor, check out the Dark Horse comics. The reviews for the second book in the trilogy are even more scathing. Book 3 delivered for most. I liked all three. Some of the redundancy that was book 2 wasn't apparent in the audio version. So I recommend going on a road trip of at least 7.5 hours, pop in the cassette and enjoy this trilogy

Summary: a very anti climactic conclusion
Review: these books werent bad but they could have been better. i think the best parts took place "then" as opposed to "now". all of the schemeinhg going on was cool it was just the reasoning behind everything was just so stupid. i mean come on why would the emporer really care about the bounty hunters and their guild. so the empire could hire the best? they could do that anyway. it just didnt really make much sense to me. but al the action was good and i liked seeing the interaction bossk and the other bounty hunters had with fett. it was also cool seeing bounties being collected. just the ending is a little of a letdown

Summary: An intricate web is nearly finished.
Review: Like the spidery characters of the Assemblers, author K.W. Jeter has built a web of conspiracy for Boba Fett, Dengar, and Neelah to get out of. But will they, and in one piece? Will readers even care what happens to unlikable characters trapped into doing business with unsavory individuals? Only reading this conclusion to The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy will tell. As with the first two books (The Mandalorian Armor and Slave Ship) there are almost no characters to really care about, but plenty of back stabbing and blood shed to maintain interest. While not a highlight of the alternate universe Star Wars novels, most fans will enjoy the series on one level or another.

Summary: Good ending, but lousy until then!
Review: This book would have earned five stars many times over if Jeter had only got his characters's personalities straight. For example Zuckuss(one of my favorite characters in Tales of the Bounty Hunters) was portrayed as a stupid coward and I'm not even gonna tell you how pathetic he made Dengar turn out to be. Even the great Boba Fett himself was portrayed unfavorably. Throughout the whole trilogy he is little more than a sarcastic jerk. So why do I give it three stars? The answer is that the action toward the end of this book almost made up for it entirely! Almost. Only here does Fett act like himself(most of the time anyway). Also, I feel that the confrontation between Fett and Kuat of Kuat is one of the most interesting confrontations in the Star Wars literary universe. . .but you might want to check out some of the other reviews on this book before you decide to buy it. Also get the first two books(lousy as they were) if you want to understand anything in this book.

Summary: The most satisfying of the Bounty Hunter books
Review: Hard Merchandise : Star Wars: Book 3 of The Bounty Hunter Wars
by K.W. Jeter continues the story of Boba Fett, Neelah and Dengar after the battle on Tatooine. This book had the most surprises and was really unique in both the style and tone. I really enjoyed reading it. Overall the only problem I really had with the series was the characterization of Dengar as a not so brutal bounty hunter, something that takes away a little from the character. Other than that I have to give Jeter high marks for effort. He took the most mysterious and one of the most cherished characters in the Star Wars universe and crafted a well-written tale that did not totally destroy the perception of that character. Well done Mr. Jeter.

Summary: ....tacular to the extreme, Boba Fett! Boba Fett!
Review: It's truly amazing how little actually happens across or is accomplished by the end of these three books. I can't believe that anyone over the age of 15 thinks that this series has been worth paying money for. I read the first two books on plane trips and then forgot about them. I just saw this one at a used book store for a dollar and picked it up. Now I remember why I didn't bother getting it sooner. Boring, repetitive prose, that staggers across the page like a drunken sorority girl on spring break. Characters who completely and utterly lack any charisma what-so-ever do not for a fun read make. Writing that is just damn hard to follow. Pages of boring, and pointless references to events that make no impact on anyone, anywhere in the galaxy. Boba Fett is supposed to be tough and cool, who rarely if ever speaks, but can get the job done. Not some jabbering twit who barely escapes by pure chance when the going gets dirty. Did the author really hear Fett say these pages and pages of dialogue in the voice from the movie? The voice that you can tell says maybe a hundred words a year? Hey, thats another thing. Why does the author always refer to him as "Boba Fett" and not just as "Fett". All the characters in the book do this as well either when speaking to, about or even just contemplating the character (Boba Fett). Dengar stared at Boba Fett as Boba Fett turned to stare at his (Boba Fett's) ship. Boba Fett felt that being Boba Fett was cool. "Hey, you, Boba Fett, I'm going to kill you, Boba Fett."
"I'll get you for this, Boba Fett. It's not over, Boba Fett.30% percent of the words in the damn book must be "Boba Fett". I guess Boba Fett must have killed the last couple of guys who just called him Fett, or God forive, Boba. Stay away at all costs.

Summary: Boba Fett
Review: This is part of the Boba Fett trilogy. It is an interesting story but fans should not expect the main movie characters (Luke, etc) to be a big part of the story.

Summary: Finale
Review: Was actually disappointed overall with this last installment of the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. Yes, there were some mysteries unraveled concerning who was behind erasing Neelah's memory, and who planted Prince Xizor's pheremones near Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's moisture farm, when they were disintegrated by stormtroopers. Jeter strings us out on a long goose chase to find out Neelah's identity, which wasn't that big a deal. There wasn't much fighting between bounty hunters in this one, as the trilogy name suggests. I, for one, am glad this trilogy is over. Read it, only if you are a big SW fan.

Summary: Best of the three part series
Review: Boba Fett, Dengar, and Neelah travel the universe in search of answers. Someone has erased Neelah's memories and that same someone may be out to erase Boba Fett from the universe permanently. Now Fett and his companions take to space in the Hound's Tooth, recently stolen from enemy bounty hunter, Bossk. Their search for answers leads to the most unlikely places.
In my opinion, this is the best book of the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. In fact, I think that this stroy was stretched into three books unnecessarily. It could have been told in one 400-500 page book. The focal point of the story was Neelah's erased memories. When you discover who she is and why her memory was wiped, you are almost disappointed with the answers. Getting to that point is actually part of the fun. I enjoyed the exchange between Boba Fett and Bossk in the cantina. On a whole, the book was more fluid and the continuity was better that the rest of the series. A die-hard Star Wars fan will read it, but a so-so Star Wars fan will be bored to tears until the trilogy is finally completed.
