Book Reviews of Slave Ship (Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Wars, Book 2)
Book Review: Pissed as an rabid Wookie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Slave Ship like the oh so dull Mandalorian Armor novel, made me drowsy everytime I picked it up. It was a great concept but the actual product lacked the plot/action zing that characterizes star wars novels. Most of the more interesting characters in the novel (Kuat Kuat, Fett.) rambled for pages on end. It infuriates me that such an idea wasn't added to the star wars universe in a memorable way. The entire book seemed like an aside to the star wars universe. It didn't really fit. It's far from a Zahn trilogy novel or a Kevin J. Anderson. Readers should wait until this one gets in to the library to sit down with it. Save your money.
Summary of Slave Ship (Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Wars, Book 2)
He's both feared and admired, respected and despised. Boba Fett is the galaxy's most successful bounty hunter. Now he finds himself the hunted in the oldest game of all: survival of the fittest.The once powerful Bounty Hunter's Guild has been shattered into warring factions. Now the posting of an enormous bounty on a renegade Imperial stormtrooper is about to start a frenzy of murderous greed.
Hoping to fuel rumors of his death, Boba Fett abandons his ship, Slave I, and sets out to claim the prize. Yet his every move leads him closer to a trap set by the cunning Prince Xizor. Fett will die before becoming Xizor's pawn in the Emperor's war against the Rebels. And he may have to. For in order to gain his freedom he must outwit a sentient weapon that feeds on human spirits. Then he must escape a galaxy of deadly enemies who want to make the rumors of his death a reality.
"How many times, wondered Boba Fett, could he die--and yet not die? Someday it would be all over for him..."
Fett fans take note: Star Wars: Slave Ship features the (in)famous bounty hunter as he chases after the largest bounty ever offered--by tracking down renegade stormtrooper Trhin Voss'on't. The story, book 2 in The Bounty Hunter Wars series, jumps back and forth between the time of Star Wars: New Hope and Return of the Jedi in a series of convoluted plot twists that involve everyone from Emperor Palatine and Darth Vader to Zuckuss and Bossk. Written by well-known SF writer K.W. Jeter (whose first novel, Dr. Adder, was praised by Philip K. Dick as "stunning"), Star Wars: Slave Ship is in many ways a perfect serial novel--it raises as many new questions for the next installment as it solves from the previous one. Neelah's identity is finally revealed, but how did she end up in Jabba the Hutt's palace? You'll have to wait and see. --C.B. Delaney
