Product Description
From Amazon
This first novel only kicks off the trilogy's story, so while there is some action, there's also much talking and scheming, and the overall plot is only beginning to become clear by the book's end. Curiously, since everyone is so wretchedly evil, there's really no hero to root for--a marked contrast to the usually quite romantic Star Wars tales. This explains, perhaps, why K.W. Jeter was chosen to author the trilogy. Jeter, once Philip K. Dick's protégé, tends to avoid anything upbeat or uplifting.
Tony Award nominee Anthony Heald doesn't just read the book, he performs it, using countless different voices. He's backed up by music and sound effects that make The Mandalorian Armor into a full-fledged audio drama. Fans of Star Wars fiction and Boba Fett in particular will be pleased with this further exploration of Lucas's rich universe. Newcomers, though, might want to start with something more traditional. --Brooks Peck --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review,
By Chris (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Wars: The Mandalorian Armor (Mass Market Paperback)
The Mandalorian Armor alternated between really good action scenes and boring, drawn out exchanges (one involving Darth Vader and Vader should never be boring!), but I think I will just get right to the positives and negatives. Positives: Kud'ar Mub'at, Bossk, and a scene involving Boba Fett and Gheeta. Negatives: making Darth Vader boring (!) and the incredible overuse of the word 'sentient'.

Enjoyable if slightly redictable Star Wars book,

This review is from: Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Wars: The Mandalorian Armor (Mass Market Paperback)
The Mandalorian Armor : Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Wars, Book Iby K.W. Jeter is the first in the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. It is a well-written look at the Star Wars universe through the eyes of characters who are pivotal to the series yet usually ignored (with the exception of someone named Fett) At the heart of this story, which takes place directly after the Sail Barge battle in Return of the Jedi and flashes back several years during the course of the story, is the contact between bounty hunters Dengar, Boba Fett and a dancer names Neela. The flashback sequences are fascinating and bring back Prince Xizor, a top notch character. Overall this book is well-written and interesting if almost totally prediactable. I figured out what would happen in the first 20 pages. Yet, the book manages to keep the readers interest and has fun doing it. Along the way familiar and new Star Wars characters pop up, creating a feeling of comfortable newness. Anyway while certainly not a top-notch Star Wars book, The Mandalorian Armor is an above average book. I wish amazon had 3 and a half star ratings because that is what I would have given this book, because is doesn't deserve a four but a three is really marking it as average.

Welcoming myself Back to the SW Universe,

This review is from: Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Wars: The Mandalorian Armor (Mass Market Paperback)
Its been about 5 years since I have read any of the novels in the star wars universe, I happened to come across this book while at the local book store. I am very glad I bought it and will buy the next two in this series.For anyone that has an intrigue in Boba Fett this book will give you an interesting look into the series of events surrounding the Bounty Hunters Guild's break, and Boba Fetts almost death in the Sarlacc monster on Tattooine. While it did get long winded, and at times hard to follow, this book for the most part is well written and intriguing. By the end you are almost dying to find out about Neela, and what exactly happens to Boba Fett and Dengar, and why exactly KDY has such an intense interest in the infamous bounty hunter. For the Bounty Hunter fans this book is sure to please.
