Summary: Hard Merchandise is unbelievable!
Review: The book is absolutely action-packed, and is a wanderful end to the "Bounty Hunter Wars" series. It's definitely the best book in the series, thrilling from beginning to end. I hope this is not the last of the bounty hunters. This book has left me wanting more.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Will the real boba fett step forward.
Review: There are very few books that I have to have. When I heard that there was going to be a series featuring many of the bounty hunters I just couldn't wait. Now having read all 3 I think to myself, were any of the hunters in the series. Sure the names were there but not the characters. Boba Fett just talked to anyone who would listen like a drunk at a bar. All of the other hunters acted like fools. There is no way Vader would have selected these losers if they were like they are in this series. It had such potential to show the hunters in detail and to give us more info about them. In the end it was a case of finish it so that i could go on to another book. If you have read the first 2 and want to know how it ends then read it. Otherwise read some of the other starwars books. In the future I hope that there will be a series that is written on the hunters, with a book for each one. This could have been a good start, but just keeps coming up short.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: completely dull
Review: The author tries to develop a huge web of intrigue and deceit but leaves a book full of nonsense situations trying to cover the huge gaps found in the plot and with unbeliavably stupid situations. The characters are completely superficial and the author gives attention to characters nobody wants to know about instead of potentially interesting characters like Bossk and Zuckuss. The only reason I read this is because it is StarWars after all and because I had already bought the first two books.

For the first time I can say that reading a book was painfull and uncomfortable.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: One of the lousiest wrapups i've ever read
Review: This story leaves an incredible amount of loose ends for the last volume in a trilogy. While the author tries to cover up his screwups in previous volumes (Zuckuss works with 4-Lom, not Bossk; Zuckuss is highly intuitive, not an idiot; No Gand EVER refers to him/herself as I, for example), he creates numerous problems and doesn't really resolve anything. The bounty hunter guild situation doesn't get solved, it just stops. Boba Fett turns out to be lying through his teeth over the 'well paying job' that was first brought up in the short story of Dengar, something which the integrity-obsessed Boba Fett would never do. The story ends with KDY in Alliance control, when other novels conclusively state that KDY is still in imperial hands four years later. He makes up details about Dengar and forgets about some described in his original written debut, and in the end leaves a great deal of questions unanswered, like: Why did Posondum inscribe the KDY logo as his last words? and What happened to Otondon? The author even manages to create a conflict with his OWN WORK: Posondum is delivered alive in book one, and described as delivered dead in this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Last but not least....Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn!
Review: Well, let me begin by saying if you are looking for a great book to send you off to dreamland this is it! I have read many of the Star Wars novels and this series takes the cake for the slowest reading, most confusing, and biggest waste of money. I was looking forward to a book that gave me a background possibly on how exactly Boba Fett came to be, and who he is. Guess what? That didnt happen in this series. I was thoughly bored. I have read many novels and have found myself on a few where I couldn't put it down because I was enthrawled with the story. This series I couldn't wait to put it down. I strongly suggest if they are going to take a character that didn't play a large part of a movie and glorify him, they give a better background and up the tempo. Well, off to bed....aww too bad I can't sleep. Guess I'll have to take my nytol (AKA reread the first chapter of this series.)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining...
Review: I read the novel versions of the three Star Wars movies but I've never read any of the dozens of Star Wars-related novels that have been written by other authors over the years. So, if these aren't as good as others that are out there, I wouldn't know. The primary draw for me was that the story revolved around my favorite SW character, the enigmatic Boba Fett. And I wasn't disappointed in the read. I enjoyed the entire trilogy, though I could've done without the sappy ending in the final book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good read!
Review: Well, I've got to disagree to some extent with those who panned it. I felt this was the best of the series. It had the most action, and Jeter seemed to come into stride characterizing Boba Fett. There were a lot fewer references to his "cold eyes", "cold personality", etc., and a lot more characterization (though little character development).

There was indeed a lot of action, as a series like this one should have. Face it, you're talking modern space opera when you're reading a book like this, and you really shouldn't expect much more than Star Wars fun.

The problem with the book is that nothing about Boba Fett is explained, and nothing about him changes. Is this guy ever going to take off his armor and take a bath? Are we ever going to see what his cold eyes look like without a helmet?

Is he ever going to fall in love? Do something altruistic? Help a grandmother across a street simply because she needs help and not because there's money in it?

(Or, perish the thought, make a mistake?)

Obviously, this is not the end of a trilogy, and we need more books.

Come on, Jeter, do something with this guy!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not what I was expecting it would be
Review: I was expecting to find out where Bobe Fett came from. This series did not give me anything along those lines. I enjoyed the story, but not much action.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If you have read the first two books buy it, otherwise don't
Review: I read the first two books of this series and was not impressed at all, i had to read this one to find out what happened in the end. Nothing is the answer, it was far too predictable, there were a few twists but nothing that really interested me. At the end i just felt cheated for buying the whole trilogy. Boba Fett is by far the best character in the whole galaxy because of his general mysteriousness, if you're looking to find out something about him you're better off not buying this book. It left me infuriated in the way it finished and devastated that Lucas could sanction such mindless drivel under the great name of Star Wars. Not Reccomended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It was a fast read...but
Review: This book was a nice bok. There wasn't anything "spectacular" in it it was just a good adventure. I was dissapointed that the series didn't say How Boba Fett came about...parents,Mandolar,etc. I really wanted to find out about his culture. I also think it's stupid that Boba Fett is alive one reason they don't talk about him being alive in any of the following books. It's like he just dissapeared.

Other than that the the book is good and if you like the SW universe you will like it. Besides you find out all about Neelah in this one. Hint *starships*.
