Another batch of short stories wrapped around a particular rogues'-gallery scene, this one the group of bounty hunters assembled in the Executor in The Empire Strikes Back. Most of the stories are nothing special; Kevin Anderson's made me actively wince, as he was playing with epic-scale tropes without being able to provide epic prose to match. The one exception is the final story in the volume, by Daniel Keys Moran, covering the life of Boba Fett; that one is good enough to be worth owning the book. (  ) slothman | Aug 29, 2008 |  Most of the stories were alright, not especially good, but not the worst I've ever read. However, the story about Boba Fett was completely butchered. My recommendation would be to pass....You don't need this kind of scum. (  ) runi | Jan 17, 2008 | A pretty dismal anthology, easily the worst of the Tales from/of books. The strongest story leads- one about IG-88 that's pretty decent for what it is, despite taking far too many liberties with events in the movies. The last story, on the other hand, is so bad as to be actually offensive- Daniel Keys Moran does to Boba Fett in this what George Lucas did to the entire Star Wars universe in his new trilogy; it's destruction on a much more modest scale but still pretty impressive for a hack writer. All the other stories are - literally and figuratively - somewhere in between. (  )1  badgenome | Oct 16, 2007 | The story about Dengar is the best, but the others are certainly readable. Recommended for hardcore SW fans, not so much for more casual fans. ( ) Jthierer | Jun 19, 2007 | Boba is a badass. The end. ( ) kaledrina | Jul 31, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
