Book Review: Slave Ship by K W Jeter

Book 2 of Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Wars

Not as good as The Mandalorian Armour, but it jogs along quite well. Boba Fett abandon's his ship, the Slave 1, so he can try to claim the bounty on an escaped head stormtrooper. This mission turns out to be a trap set by Prince Xizor and he has to escape it and other bounty hunters while trying to keep his continued life a secret.

The sub-plots continue, the fall of the arachnid assembler is planned by one of it's own sub-nodes. The power plays at Kuat Drive Yards become fiercer, with Kuat also trying to engineer a defence for the Yards against Xizor and the rest of the Empire.
