It's typical Traviss, with lots of Mando'a, wonderfulness of Mando culture, and how great Fett is for overcoming his hatred of Jedi for the greater good.
However, there are two items that really stand out, even on the usual KT scale:
The opening quote (KT, you're not Frank Herbert):
Damn, talk about the author inflating the importance of her pet characters...Warmaster, we think too often in terms of dualism: Jedi or Sith, light or dark, right or wrong. But there are three sides to this blade, not two, opposed and similar at the same time. The third edge is the Mandalorian. All three sides care nothing for caste or species, only adherence to a code that unites. The Mandalorians remain: the most formidable enemy of the Jedi: but the Sith are not always their allies. The Mandatorians even worshipped war itself, then simply turned their backs on their god. You might begin to understand them one day.
-Vergere, explaining galactic politics to the Yuuzhan Vong shortly before their invasion of the galaxy, 25 A.B.Y.
And then, this little exchange between Boba Fett and Nom Anor:
Emphasis mine."You still try to bargain with me," said Nom Anor.
"That's my price. It goes up when I find clients haven't been totally open with me." Like not mentioning a galactic invasion. Fett was the one doing the buying now, though: he was buying time. "You're going to have to fight for every meter of ground here. Thousands of sentient species, countless worlds, and every one will put up a fight. You need us. If only to deal with the Jedi."
Poor Yuuzhan Vong. They would be so helpless against the Jedi without help from Fett and his Mandos... oh, wait.
How long will this be allowed to go on?
