Slave Ship

Jeter, K. W. Slave Ship. Book 2 of Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Wars. 1998. 336p. ISBN 9780553578881.


Following the events of The Mandalorian Armor, Boba Fett has escaped Tatooine with one of Jabba the Hutt's dancing girls, and a second class bounty hunter. They rescued and healed him after Fett fell in the sarlacc pit in Return of the Jedi but managed to escape. With everyone still thinking him dead, Fett's first order of business is to switch ship. Slave 1, his custom-built ship, is too well-known throughout the galaxy. He manages to con Bossk, a rival bounty hunter, out of his ship, and commandeers the Hound's Tooth. With three passengers, the ship hurls to space towards a destination only Fett knows.

On board, Neelah, the dancing girl, is trying to regain the memories that have been wiped from her, and she knows that Fett is the key to unlocking what happened to her. Dengar, the other bounty hunter, agrees to fill in some of the events that occurred during the Bounty Hunter's War, so that Neelah can truly appreciate her adversary's tenacity and deadliness.

Told from Fett's current predicament aboard the Hound's Tooth and of the actions that took place in the Bounty Hunter's War, Slave Ship continues the story of Boba Fett and expands on his role as the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy.
