Publisher's summary

He is Boba Fett, the most feared and successful bounty hunter in the galaxy, and even the most hardened criminals tremble at his name. Now he faces the deadliest challenge of his infamous career: an all-out war against his most dangerous enemies.

As the Rebellion gathers force, Prince Xizor proposes a cunning plan to the Emperor and Darth Vader: smash the power of the Bounty Hunters Guild by turning its members against each other. Only the strongest and most ruthless will survive, and they can be used against the Rebellion. It's a job for the fiercely independent Boba Fett, who jumps at the chance to destroy his rivals. But Fett soon realizes the murderous factions, criminal conspiracies, and the evil at the Empire's dark heart. Boba Fett has always finished first. And in this game, anything less is death.

And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

Basically just the first part of a story

Voice actor did a good job with using different voices for the characters, but the story itself felt like the first part of a book rather than a complete story that leads into another one. Also didn't feel like there was much going on with Boba Fett as much as other characters talking about him.

Loved it!!

Boba Fett is one of the most renowned SW characters, despite his lack of presence on the big screen. this look into events that occurred after, despite being Legends at this point, still offered a solid adventure of one of the galaxy's most dangerous beings.

Good book

the only issue I had with the audible version of this book is that, at times, the background sound effects were so loud that you couldn't hear the narrator.

Excellent Bounty Hunter fare

I really enjoyed this audiobook with all of the added audio and special effects, it felt every bit as good as a movie. There were just one or two moments when the sound effects overpowered the dialogue but honestly, the same happens during a movie so I wasn’t that bothered. You could piece together what was said from context. Definitely high recommendation from me

Filling in the Gaps

Although I am a big fan of Star Wars, I have not read all the books, comics etc. So there is alot of back story to discover. Boba Fett is one of the best characters. Even delivering a serious appearence in the Legacy of the Force series (which I highly recommend), The Bounty Hunter series is a fantastic addition to my library. Most of the story spread across the New Hope and Return of the Jedi timeline.

The character development, and narration of the book is fantastic.

background noises are awful

I don't know who decided what the background noises where going to be but that person should be fired. like in the opening scene you hear jungle noises that make it slightly hard to listen to the story and it turns out they are on tatooine. so this guy is searching wreckage on tatooine?? All I can hear is birds chirping and monkeys screeching. i listened to the whole thing and the story wasn't that bad but I wont be dl any more bc the background noises where that bad
