The other two are a lot like the first... I didn't think they were that well written first, but the biggest problem is how they completely ignore what happens in Tales of the Bounty Hunters until about book three where the two major issues are just explained away in about a sentence each. ... bah, I forget the character names... but first, the reptile guy's (bounty hunter who hunts Wookies) ship was stolen by this woman bounty hunter and her Wookie companion. In Bounty Hunter Wars, unexplained for at least a book and a half, he has his ship again. It's explained away at long last with a line that just says something about that he eventually got back his ship... no details or anything. The other major issue was about these two bounty hunters. One's a droid and the other... oh, right! Zuckuss (or something like that) and 4-LOM I believe. They were partners. In the end of their story they have joined the Rebels. In the beginning of book one of BHW they are not partners and aren't with the Rebels. It's eventually explained away by saying that they eventually had differences with the rebels and eachtother... I forget the details exactly, but I didn't find it very convincing... I really got the impression that the guy had not read TotBH when he wrote those books and added those things in later when he was told about them or something. Maybe not, but that's the impression I got. Not to mention that the two groups of characters he messed with there were ones I liked... and the way he used one of them (esp. Zukuss) was awful and the other pair was totally ignored. Bad.
