The weakest book in the series, due to no recognisable characters being part of the action. Well, apparently I've encountered Boonda in other Legends media during my semi-chronological reading, and I must say I find him interesting.
This was a strange one. for one thing the cover depicts an IG series droid and none appear in the book. This is an imperial mission where you combat not battle droids, but ordinary droids. MSE, Astromech, protocol, labor, things like that.It also features a hutt who has turned his back on his criminal ways.
