On the surface, it seems like just another routine contract for Boba Fett and his Mandalorian commandos, but the mystery client who hires them to start a small war is more dangerous than any of them can possibly imagine. When the Yuuzhan Vong invasion force sweeps into the galaxy, the Mandalorians find they’re on the wrong side–fighting for an alien culture that will bring about the end of their own.

Now Fett has to choose between his honor and the survival of his people. Since he’ s a practical man, he’s determined help the resistance beat the Yuuzhan Vong–even if it means working with a Jedi agent. Trouble is, no one trusts a man with Fett’ s reputation. So convincing the New Republic that they’re fighting on the same side is a tall order. Denounced as traitors, Fett’s Mandalorians need to stay one step ahead of their Yuuzhan Vong paymasters–and the Republic who sees them as collaborators with the most destructive enemy the galaxy has ever faced. . . .

    Short, but good.

    Worth the price. Lots of Star Wars action. Some good bounty hunter espionage and similar themes. The only downside is that I feel like there was more to the story when it ended. I have no idea which book to but next in order to pick up the story where this one left off.

    Boba's Back!

    A Practical Man, while short, was an enjoyable read. It is a tie-in with a Star Wars series. I am a die-hard Star Wars, Boba Fett, and Karen Traviss fan-thus, this book is perfect for me! It was well-written, has a developed plot, and key characters to keep the story rolling! *Also, it has a few touching moments* I strongly recommend this book! =)

    What a relief!

    I don't know why it's taken me so many years to read this since the NJO ended. But it was a welcome relief after the disappointment of just reading Shadow Games.

    It's been a couple of years now since Karen Traviss announced that she would no longer be writing any SW stuff (at least mando) with the direction of the Clone Wars and such in light of her -nothing-short-of-awesome work on the Republic Commando series. So you could understand how refreshing it was to read a Mando-centric tale. Well done, well situated I would have paid for this easily. Such a shame that it can't be continued.

    Great look from the Fett perspective!

    This was a good short read that looks at the Mandalorian side of things during the beginning of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and the The New Jedi Order book series.
