A review by michaeljohnhalseartistry
Star Wars(r) the Bounty Hunter Code by Daniel Wallace, Jason Fry, Ryder Windham
2.0
My 9th novel of the year, The Bounty Hunter Code, was more of a guilty pleasure than anything else. When I was younger I ate up companion books like these, and especially for Star Wars. The Essential Guide to Alien Species was one of my favourite books, and I still have really fond memories of reading that. I had heard really good things about the Jedi and Sith versions of these books, and was looking forward to reading this one.
But... it wasn't quite as good as I was expecting it to be. It was a lot of mundane information that I didn't need to know. It was a lot of "where to go to find bounty postings", "how to handle your bounties", "rules that bounty hunters should keep that are pretty boring". The best part of the book was a small chapter that listed various Guild Houses within the Bounty Hunters Guild, and I think it would've been more interesting if they had gone into more detail about these houses, and did small fact-files on bounty hunters in those guilds, or famous bounties. You know, concentrating on famous members of the guild and quests they undertook, instead of pages upon pages of rules to be a bounty hunter in the guild...
So, I wasn't too fond of this book. I would still like to read the Jedi and Sith versions, I'll get around to them eventually.
