"The Bounty Hunter Code"

The Bounty Hunter Code: From the Files of Boba Fett (Daniel Wallace, Ryder Windham & Jason Fry)

I feel silly saying that a book with a sticker price of $99.99 is only for fans of the series, but here we are; this book comes in a really cool case (you put in a fake ID card and the hard lid opens while lights go off), but the books inside are a little bit slim. The main attraction is the Bounty Hunter Code, and it's pretty entertaining, but unless you're interested in a social history of the Mandalorian clans, I don't know that there's really much here to entice you. There's also a 48 page autobiography by Cradossk, a guy so obscure I had to look him up on Wookiepedia. (Turns out he's Bossk's dad!!)
Overall, this is a fun little set of books with a cool case; but even at Amazon's half price of $50 - let alone the MSRP of $99 - this is pretty hard to recommend unless you're a Star Wars nut.

Grade: B
