Everything in this book just drags. ( )

2 stories. One taking place around New Hope and the second during Return of the Jedi.
First story is about Fett taking down the Bounty Hunters Guild.
The second story is what happens to him after being eaten by the Sarlacc.

Not really sure how canon this is, considering all that Traviss has written about the Mando and Fett himself. I'm enjoying it though. No jedi, lots of assassins and bounty hunters though.

Update-considering how Lucas has trashed Traviss's Mando continuity, this is as canon as you want it to be. ( )

This is one of my favorite Star Wars novels. The story started out as interesting and somewhat intriguing to me and then got better and better until I couldn't put it down. When I bought the book I was hoping for lots of action, a story centered on Boba Fett, and some new bounty hunter back story. What I got was all three and then some! I love the way the author delves into the psych of each individual bounty hunter and I really enjoyed some of the scenes inside Slave I. If you are a Star Wars fan looking for something fun and fresh that you can read in a day or two because of the entertaining story line, consider Star Wars The Mandalorian Armor. ( )

Let's face it, Star Wars expanded universe novels aren't the peak of literary excellence. However, like most of the ones I've attempted, this one was readable. Not particularly good, but readable. The plot was disjointed, full of holes, and predictable to whatever extent the holes allowed. The characters were two-dimensional, and the fan-service of having Boba Fett be as unrealistically indestructible as he was made it all too easy to know the outcome. That said, it gave me something non-addictive to read, and while I wasn't particularly impressed, at no time did I feel the compulsion to fling this book into the wall. Quite possibly due to low expectations from the outset. ( )

The Mandalorian Armor is the first book in the Bounty Hunter Wars series. The key focuses of this first novel are; the background of Boba Fett, the events that led to the dissolution of the Bounty Hunter's Guild, certain aspects of the Imperial Court. As the title might suggest, this book focuses more heavily on the Bounty Hunters than other conventional Star Wars novels might.

There are discrepancies in the characterisations and the back story of certain characters, Prince Xixor is more hot blooded, Dengar is less of the Imperial Super-Soldier that he was described as in other works, Boba Fett is more talkative than he's ever been. There are other divergences as well, but all are forgiveable as quirks of writing style, a failing of a character's memory, odd behaviour can be attributed to stress or emotion.

It's a good enough book, the stories it tells from the character's pasts are entertaining, the look inside the Imperial Court is interesting; I just wouldn't recommend it for any other than true fans of Star Wars, as other than that it's a decidedly average work of Science Fiction. ( )
