Summary: Finally, an end to this lame series ¿
Review: I would not have read this novel except that I'm an avid Star Wars fan and nothing new had been released since "Isard's Revenge" when it came out. Well, I found the first two in this series lacking terribly and this book was no exception. Although it had its moments when I forgot that I was reading a second or third-tier Star Wars book, KW Jeter still makes too many mistakes. The space battles were not written correctly (evidently KW Jeter has never heard of ion cannons and only once, if memory serves, makes mention of shields) and we get still more of a jabbering Boba Fett who, although fooled by Xizor, is impossibly brilliant all-knowing and nearly all-powerful. How boring and predictable. The main plot is resolved to be gimmicky and downright lame. How anticlimactic. The idea that one of the galaxy's most powerful corporate heads could be bothered with the affairs of a bounty hunter to the degree that he was is ludicrous. If you have not started this lackluster series, save it for when you are really bored. There are so many better Star Wars books out there. And, once again, the editors at LucasFilm have done a disgraceful job. Not only did they fail to head off or substantially fix the 'mechanical' errors in this novel, at one point a particular capital ship is referred to as a "Zebulon-B frigate." I'm NOT joking. It's on page 325. I wonder if they could spell i-n-c-o-m-p-e-t-e-n-c-e, eh? A better name for this would have been "Horrid Merchandise."

Summary: A complete change from the other books!
Review: The book is very well done. The characters in it are so different from the one in the other books. If you like Boba Fett and the other bounty hunters this book is for you. I'd recomend it to people who have read many other Star Wars books before you read this trilogy. It was great!

Summary: The WORST Star Wars book ever written!!
Review: The first two books in the series are good, but this book HASNO ACTION!!BOBA FETT WOULD BE EMBARASSED.
Rating: 
Summary: Best of this series!
Review: Being a big Star Wars fan, it's tough to say anything bad about the SW books. Unfortunately that was the situation with the first two books in this series. However, here in the last book, things were looking much better. I heard that Zahn assisted Jeter on this last book, and it shows. Some of the more glaring plot inconsistencies are patched up (albeit rather weakly) and the book is much more enjoyable. Overall I had a much better experience with this final installment. Looking forward to Starfighters of Adumar!

Summary: Great
Review: This is by far the best best installment of the bounty hunter wars, and I loved the ending with Boba Fett and the star destroyer (can almost hear the force music in the background as he rips free). However, all the other bounty hunters in this book are weak 2nd-rates. Dengar backs off on the partnership at the last minute, Zuckuss and 4-LOM don't do much at all, and Bossk is a let-down compared to the great build-up we've been getting. I also got the feeling that I could've skipped most of Slave Ship and understood this book perfectly. The other two books dragged a little but were good enough that you could hang in till the end. Hard Merchandise keeps you riveted all the way through with mystery by mystery slowly being unlocked. Definitely a great wrap-up

Summary: excellent
Review: This was a great conclusion to the series. I really was enthralled with this book. It had a lot of surprises which kept the story line interesting and suspenseful. I think that this trilogy was a good portrayal of boba Fett and for those who think not, Stop reading those stupid comics!! I have a point to make regarding these books. I am a blind reader who relys on the audio version of books to stay on top of current titles. Though the audio version of Star wars books are usually abridged, they usually come with sound effects and music which turns the book into a kind of audio movie. I think the trade off is worth it and would rather listen to an abridged version which basically tells the main story rather then read a full version with additional yet unnecessary passages. I say this because I find when listening to these books they really put you in the Star Wars universe and you don't get bored! Take my advise and listen to a few, you'll be glad you did!! Maybe then you wouldn't find some of SW books too long or boring!

Summary: Bringing out the best of Boba Fett one book at a time.
Review: K.W. JETER Really has got Boba Fetts attitudes and mentallity down pat. He can write Boba Fett's actions & reactions as if it were real. And you know it would be real, because what other way would Fett react to danger? Eliminate it. Words cannot describe it. K.W. JETER may as well be Boba Fett himself. Just read this book.
Rating: 
Summary: Slow start, anticlimactic
Review: I guess I expected more because the first two in the series were pretty good. I thought it took way too long to get started (the first hundred pages are just about useless). I think Boba Fett was entirely un-Fett like. He seems soft in this installment. Why is Dengar such a wuss in this series. I can't really recommend this book, except that it finishes the series. It could have been condensed and been great. For better Fett and Dengar reading, get "Tales of the Bounty Hunters"

Summary: I fell asleep in the beginning
Review: Well, Jeter did it again. He totally screwed up the Star Wars storyline. This entire trilogy has been a waste of paper, time, and money. In the first book, everybody acted stupidly. Fett talked way too much, Dengar was an idiot, and Bossk-well, lets not go there. The second book was pretty much the same. That's why Jeter spent the first third of Hard Merchandise trying to correct his mistakes. The first chapter has Zuckuss and 4-LOM paired up the way that they should have been through the entire series. But you never see either of them again. The first book was a plus when Jeter paired Fett and Dengar together the way that Tales of the Bounty Hunters describes. But he totally messed up when he broke off the partnership in this book. If he had decided to do any research, he would have seen that Fett and Dengar are still working together in Dark Empire. It is in that book that the partnership was terminated. The end scene when everything blew up was nice, but no one person can pilot a Star Destroyer through an exploding shipyard and manage to man the guns at the same time. You would need at least a skeleton crew of a hundred people to do what Fett did. Sorry, but as good as Fett is, even he couldn't do all of that. There is a lot more inconsistencies that I could talk about, such as Fett paying Bossk for the location of something, which he would never do, but if you want to waste your time reading this, go ahead. Personally, I would read Zahn or Anderson again.
Rating:
Summary: repetitive
Review: This book could have used some thorough editing. Actually, the trilogy could have been pared down to one "great", two "good" books. There was a great deal of repetition and useless detail. You have to assume that anyone who reads this book, has already read the other two. Pretty disappointing.
