This volume is also part of the War of the Bounty Hunters series. This 2020 run is set right after the events from the film The Empire Strikes Back. Leia and Chewbacca are trying to catch Boba Fett in order to get Han Solo back. Luke comes along to help while still working on his Jedi training. 

This is a good story with a good amount of action and intrigue. Lando Calrissian is helping, but we are not totally sure where his allegiances lie. Meanwhile, Commander Zahra and Darth Vader remain strong threats. The story moves at a good pace; it is interesting and draws you in. Note this part of the story does end in a cliffhanger, so you may want to seek out the next one to keep reading.

The volume also features good art; the art is a pretty good reason to pick this up. Overall, I liked this one. 

3 out of 5 stars.
