After having now read both of the Boba Fett stories by Daniel Keys Moran AKA J.D. Montgomery, I have to say I really like his take on the character; his Boba is kind of like Rorschach from the Watchmen comics -- a pessimistic antisexual with an unorthodox sense of justice all his own.

I'm sure its a take on the character that not everyone likes (PT fanboys especially), but for me, I find it makes Fett a more complex and interesting character than -- say -- being a Maori clone who flirts with dancing girls.

The Last One Standing and A Barve Like That are probably my favourite Fett stories of all time. They are what sold me on the character when I was young.

I picked up the Tales of... books at library book sales and didn't get hold of other Fett books (like The Bounty Hunter Trilogy and whatnot) until much later on, so my picture of Fett was what I saw in DKM's books and Twin Engines of Destruction, and they really just sparked my interest in the character.

I really think it's a shame on the level of a tragedy that DKM's Boba Fett stories have been so diminished thanks to the number of lame retcons and especially Lucas' butchering of the character in AOTC, because to me, it's one of the best pieces of Star Wars writing out there.
