Around the time legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett tumbled into the Great Pit of Carkoon, the Rebel Alliance discovered a secure, blast-proof bounty hunter''s case holding Boba Fett''s personal items. For years it remained hidden away. But now all who wish may unlock the secrets held within.... Press the buttons, insert the data card, and the case opens with sounds and lights. Housed within is a text of great import. At some point in his career Boba Fett bound together the latest edition of the Bounty Hunters Guild Handbook and a manifesto from Death Watch, the secretive splinter group of Mandalorians. Together, these volumes make up The Bounty Hunter Code. The handbook is an essential guide for all bounty hunters. Senior Guild members offer advice for hunters new to the Guild, a detailed list of the tools and techniques crucial to the "crimson trade," and the basics of making a living on the margins of galactic law. Boba Fett has scrawled additions and commentary in the margins throughout, as have the bounty hunters Greedo, Bossk, and Dengar, all of whom were once in possession of the Handbook. The Death Watch volume--part informational guide, part manifesto--is full of Death Watch history, philosophy, and discussions of key Mandalorian gear: their famous T-visors, their celebrated armor, and their impressive jetpacks. This Death Watch booklet was originally taken from Death Watch leader Tor Vizsla and given to Boba by his father, Jango Fett, and features handwritten notes from father to son. Boba in turn intended to leave it to his daughter, and so he''s added his own annotations to aid in her education. The bounty hunter Aurra Sing and the pirate Hondo Ohnaka have added their commentary as well. Tucked beneath The Bounty Hunter Code is Cradossk''s memoir, Making a Killing, a brutal account of his rise to the top of the Bounty Hunters Guild. From the creators of Book of Sith and The Jedi Path, in collaboration with Lucasfilm, The Bounty Hunter Code reveals the secrets of the hunt and offers insight into this demanding, dangerous, and misunderstood profession. The case includes: The Bounty Hunter Code The 48-page memoirs of Cradossk, former head of the Bounty Hunters Guild, with an inscription from the author to Boba Fett A Kamino saberdart Boba Fett''s captain''s license Boba Fett''s arms permit Slave I''s official operating license An Imperial wanted poster for Han Solo An inventory slip from the Rebel Alliance forces who discovered and seized Boba''s property

Why does North Korea routinely turn to provocation to achieve foreign policy goals? Are the actions of the volatile Kim regime predictable, based on logical responses to the conditions faced by North Korea? This book, an examination of the "Hermit Kingdom" over the past 50 years, explains why the Democratic People''s Republic of Korea uses hostility and coercion as instruments of foreign policy. Using three case studies and quantitative analysis of more than 2,000 conflict events, the author explores the relationship between North Korea''s societal conditions and its propensity for external conflict. These findings are considered in light of diversionary theory, the idea that leaders use external conflict to divert attention from domestic affairs. Analyzing the actions of an isolated state such as North Korea provides a template for conflict scholarship in general.

Edsel Bronfman je nevýrazný, ostýchavý mladík, který má v životě rád jednoduchý řád. Všechen svůj čas dělí mezi práci řadového referenta a svou matku, jejíž záviděníhodnou bohémskou oduševnělost začíná kvapem střídat stařecká demence. Mívá sice ještě občas světlé chvilky, ale přestává být jasné, kdy jde o výstřelek oduševnělé bohémky a kdy o duševní lapsus staré pomatené notoričky. Pořídila si Edsela s jedním ze svých četných milenců v dobách, kdy se dělala láska, ne válka.K její lítosti syn nezdědil esprit donchuána. Edsel je čistá duše, všechno bere vážně a zgruntu poctivě, žije monotónní život a za vrchol vzrušení považuje zisk propisovačky s logem firmy, která mu až doposud chyběla ve sbírce. Jednoho dne mu ovšem zavolá operátorka číslo 61217 a oznámí mu, že vyhrál víkendový pobyt v luxusním apartmánu na Floridě. Věc má ovšem háček – poukaz je určen výlučně pro dvě osoby a má omezenou platnost.Edsel přistoupí k hledání partnerky pro víkend u moře stejně zodpovědně jako k jakémukoli jinému pracovnímu úkolu. Tíží ho sice obava, že taková věc může převrátit jeho život úplně naruby, ale nakonec v něm převáží touha podívat se na Floridu a zažít vzrušení, o němž všichni tolik básní. Zevrubné přípravy zahrnují členství v posilovně, návštěvu nočního baru, střetnutí s drogovým dealerem, a dokonce i hodinový pobyt ve vězení. A během toho všeho se mu do života připletou tři ženy, do nichž je tak trochu zamilovaný a ony jsou tak nějak zamilované do něj. Jenomže zažít neobyčejná dobrodružství na Floridě může jen s jednou z nich.
