Bel effort, mais suite manquée !
J'aime bien K.W. Jeter comme auteur, mais le problème avec Blade Runner 2 est que Jeter a tenté de faire une suite au film et au livre à la fois. Le résultat reste confus. En effet, Jeter ramène des personnages du film et certains du livre de P.K. Dick et ce, sans vraiment respecter leur caractère respectif. Le hic, c'est qu'il ressucite plusieurs personnages qu'on a vu mourir dans le film. Par contre, le ton du film original est respecté et on retrouve toujours cet amosphère de film noir. Jeter ajoute aussi certains concepts intéressants au monde de Blade Runner. Malgré un bel effort, ce n'est pas une bonne suite au livre ou au film. ... Read more

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Mandalorian Armor is a Star Wars Expanded Universe novel. The book mainly talks about the web in which Boba Fett is trapped. The book is set shortly after Jabba the Hutt's barge is destroyed and flashes back to when the Bounty Hunters Guild still existed. This book is set during the events of Return of the Jedi. It begins with Dengar searching through the wreckage of Jabba's sail barge for anything or anyone of value. As Dengar is ready to give up, assuming that the Jawas had beat him to the wreckage, he notices two things: first, that the Sarlacc appears to be dead; and second, that there is a survivor. The survivor is Boba Fett, who had blown his way out of the Sarlacc pit. Boba's distinctive armor had suffered damage from his time in the pit and he was nearly dead. While Dengar moved Fett to a cave for shelter, the book flashes back to between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes; back to a period where Boba Fett is a freelance bounty hunter at odds with the Bounty Hunters Guild. Kuat of Kuat, the hereditary CEO of the Empire's chief subcontractor for military items is interested in the events that occurred at Jabba's palace and on his sail barge. Kuat of Kuat reviews holoprojections uploaded from the palace and regardless of the evidence, is not convinced Boba Fett is dead without additional confirmation. In the first of many flashbacks to the period between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, Bossk and Zuckuss have been assigned by the Bounty Hunters Guild a contract for an accountant w...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4868123 ...

Written by novelist K.W. Jeter (Noir, Blade Runner: Replicant Night) with art and covers by Toby Cypress (MR. MAJESTIC) and Jason Martin (MR.

Quark becomes a soft touch ? lending money, not collecting what's owed him and, most startling, extending credit(!) ? a turn of events baffling to those who know the Ferengi. At the same time, Kira's investigation of sabotage on the station leads to an unlikely subject, one very close to Kira herself. Finally, Romulan researcher Mos Senay returns to DS9 after a long absence, continuing his secret xenobiological research. Things take a dark turn when someone begins collecting ? in brutal ways ? Quark's debts. Who is the mysterious figure whose identity is unknown even to Quark? And how does it connect to the sabotage and Mos Senay's experiments?
