Format:Paperback
The first half of this novel takes us through "ATTACK OF THE CLONES", but from young Boba's viewpoint. Boba is very innocent when he was a child, but Terry Bisson made a good job of showing us how he learns the harsh truths of life. The Battle of Geonosis is highlight, as Boba watches the Clone Troopers who he grew up around fight with the hated Jedi. Fett's view of Obi-Wan Kenobi is also interesting, treating the Jedi with hatred, and so is his attitude towards Senator Amidala.
The second half of the book follows Boba as he leaves Geonosis, having to come to terms with his father's death. Heading to the moons of Bogden in order to locate Count Dooku, Boba finds himself betrayed, backstabbed and deceived by his "friends", and he even has his ship stolen. It's easy to see why Fett is going to become such a ruthless loner when he's older.
The book ends nicely, with Fett in the uncertain ward of Count Dooku, from whom he must learn self-sufficiency. The book contains a few nice cameos for Star Wars veterans, including Siri Tachi and Aurra Sing, who will become a key player in the next few books.
Although the writing style is a bit basic, and the first half of the book is a little dull, the "original" scenes are fun and fast paced, and very much remeniscant of the "Jedi Apprentice" series. Reccommended for Fett fans.

I for one was disappointed when Lucasfilm revealed that the ever-cool Boba Fett would be ten in Episode II. Thankfully, his dad, Jango Fett, is just as cool as Boba was in the classic trilogy. Here we learn Boba's reactions as he plays his part in Episode II's events and then we get to see what he does after the film, taking his first steps towards being the galaxy's best bounty hunter. This book has lots of nice touches and reveals Boba's relationship towards the various other characters: his father Jango, the bounty hunter Zam Wesell, Count Dooku and Obi-Wan. Most interesting of all is Boba's awestruck reaction to Padme Amidala. That said, the book doesn't truly hit it's stride until after Episode II's events, when Boba learns the hard way that to trust other bounty hunters is a mistake. There's also a couple of nice cameo appearances; Siri Tachi, from the Jedi Apprentice series, and Aurra Sing, the popularised bounty hunter from Episode I. If this book has a downside, it's that it is aimed at the younger readers. That means that the text is very basic in structure, but kids will love it and, if they get over the writing style, adults will too.

Although this book has been written in a basic way, the story itself is superb.
Set around the episode I era, the lessons Boba learns are hard but shows what started him on his life of being "alone"!
I really did enjoy reading this book and thought it was a great introduction into the "Boba Fett - Clone wars" series.
Reading this particular books has persuaded me to carry on with the rest of this series.
If you are a Star wars fan, you will enjoy it. If you are a Boba fett fan, you will love it!
Either way, it is a great book to add to your "Star Wars" Collection.
