Star Wars Shadows of the Empire, Slave Ship, and Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter make up this three-book Star Wars paperback lot, and all three books shown are included.
The group brings together three different corners of Star Wars fiction, with Steve Perry's Shadows of the Empire, K. W. Jeter's Boba Fett centered Slave Ship from The Bounty Hunter Wars, and Michael Reaves' Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter. The books are readable copies with clean interior pages noted across the set, while the covers show different amounts of shelf and handling wear.

Collector's Notes
These three stories come from the period when Star Wars novels were expanding characters and events beyond the original film trilogy.
The mix suits a reader building a shelf of earlier Star Wars fiction, especially someone interested in Darth Maul, Boba Fett, and Shadows of the Empire.
Slave Ship is identified on its cover as Book 2 of The Bounty Hunter Wars, giving this lot a direct connection to one of the better known Boba Fett novel trilogies.
It is a useful little group for somebody who wants the books to read rather than three matching display copies.
