A collection of five short stories about six bounty hunters.
Therefore I Am: The Tale of IG-88 by Kevin J. Anderson
Rating: ★ (1.25 stars)
I found the start of IG-88’s story to be promising and not so bad, but then it started to lose my interest not even halfway through his tale. I contemplated skipping it and moving on to the next story or using the handy text-to-speech feature to get through it. In the end I decided to do the latter. And I’m somewhat glad I did because then I wouldn’t been greatly amused with IG-88’s decision to become the second Death Star.
Payback: The Story of Dengar by Dave Wolverton
Rating: ★★★★ (4 stars)
I was not expecting to like this story as much as I did. The ending was cheesy and even came across as a little forced, but overall? It was still good.
The Prize Pelt: The Tale of Bossk by Kathy Tyers
Rating: ★ (1 star)
Again, this time for Bossk’s tale, I used text-to-speech in order to get through it. I should have just skipped this one altogether, however, since it just ended up going through one ear and out the other.
Of Possible Futures: The Tale of Zuckuss and 4-LOM by M. Shayne Bell
Rating: ★★★★★ (5 stars)
I really, really enjoyed Zuckuss and 4-LOM’s tale. This story is my favorite out of the five in this collection. And I wish these two characters had their own novel, especially if it picked up where this left off because I’d love to see more Zuckuss and 4-LOM (and Toryn Farr)!
The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett by Daniel Keys Moran
Rating: ★★★★ (4.75 stars)
And now for the tale of my favorite bounty hunter: Boba Fett.
We know Boba Fett’s backstory thanks to the Prequel Trilogy; however, this was written before the Prequel Trilogy existed, so of course it was going to be different. That said, even though it’s not canon, his background had been done quite well. I really liked how he was written in this. He’s a bounty hunter, but he’s a bounty hunter who has morals and values.
