THE STORY:
Or rather, the four stories. In 'The Gaar Suppoon Hit' Jabba and his friend/enemy Gaar Suppoon vie for advantage over one another. 'The Hunger Of Princess Nampi' features Jabba and his minions being captured by a creature more repulsive than even the Hutt himself. In 'The Dynasty Trap' Jabba becomes the prisoner of an insane family who are all plotting to kill one another. Finally, 'Betrayal' features Bib Fortuna's attempt to overthrow his Hutt master, with results somewhat different to those he expected.WHAT'S GOOD:
This book is gleefully disgusting (amongst other things Jabba squishes people, makes them explode in the vacuum of space and eats a young woman alive!) and revels in the childish pleasure of that fact. Surprisingly, it's also good fun to see the wily Hutt come out on top each time, perhaps owing to the fact that his enemies are even more vile than he is. WHAT'S BAD:
In general this book is somewhat pointless and trivialises Jabba's ruthless nature.
