Summary: Boba Fett
Review: This is the 2nd book of a trilogy about the 10 year old Boba Fett set 1 month after the battle of Geonosis. On the current timeline as of April 2003 this is also the 3rd of 11 existing or planned stories about the Clone Wars that start with Episode 2. Crossfire does contribute to the story evolving in the Prequel Era and ties in well with the movies, other books and the Dark horse comics. Aurra sing has brought Boba to Count Dooku on Raxus Prime. Boba discovers that they are drilling for a force device. They Jedi lead troops arrive leading to the title of the book CROSSFIRE. Completist like me wish to read this book because it does offer some substance. These books are said to be written for 9 to 12 years, but the same is said of the Jedi Quest series. The Jedi Quest books are much better. But if one want to know about young Boba Fett, this is where it can be found. I see most reviews award 4 or 5 stars. Others are free to say that this should be ranked among the very best books ever written. For me, I award 4 stars for books that are above average and 5 stars rarely. I find it difficult to give this modest yet entertaining book anything except a grade of FAIR or 2 stars. Seems that 5 stars are for Moby Dick or Wraith Squadron or Courtship of Princess Leia. Darkhorse is also doing Clone Wars comics. They are well done and worth a look. The entire prequel era was well thought out and I am enjoying the books and comics, and now the cartoon shows.

Summary: Explore the knew characters you never thought existed in SW.
Review: This is the second installment to the SW Boba Fett trilogy. (well, saga, a fourth book is coming out) Most people who really appreciate SW really love these books but if you only like SW because the movies are cool you'll like this, or these books but you won't APPRICIATE these books. These books tell about Boba Fett (the bounty hunter) as a young boy, in this book he must escape Count Dooku and the Jedi. I must say I really liked the first book but this one is a very interesting book. The characters in this book are the ones you do not see in the movies. Aurra Sing (the bounty hunter) is only in a little part of Episode 1 but she doesn't even talk, it's just a glimpse of her looking down on the pod race, many other Jedi and diferrentother characters.

Summary: Boba Fett
Review: This was the second in a series about the future bounty hunter, Boba Fett. With his father dead, Boba finds Count Dooku (an employer of Boba's father, Jango) on a garbage planet. He sneeks around and figures out that Dooku is trying to find the Ultimate Force (I don't know the exact name that they gave it.) Later, Clone Troopers attack the planet and rescue Boba as an orphan. Boba then lives on a huge ship in outer space. He decides to now search for his ship, Slave I which was captured by another Bounty Hunter, Aurra Sing. Sing is actually following the space ship to hunt for jedi. When both ships land on a moon, Aurra Sing and Boba Fett team up to get off of the planet. Sing agrees to help Fett get his father's money as long as she gets half. The book ends as the two leave into deep space. You'll want to read the next book in the series, Deceptions, after finishing this one.
