If you have seen Star Wars movies you are going to like this
Series. Boba Fett is a funny trickster who is the son of Jango Fett who is the richest and most feared Bounty Hunter who ever lived.
Follow Boba and his adventure to many planets where he learns how to be a Bounty Hunter.

I especially like this series because of the things he does to become a Bounty Hunter. Boba is very sarcastic he does not know what to do and he makes funny mistakes.

Boba seeks help from his father's friends while being chased by his worst enemies. One time Boba attacked a General named Grievous and he gets thrown into a garbage chute!

If you like Fictional or Adventure books this is the right series for you.

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.

I am thirten and a half years old and I am a true star wars fan as also a Boba Fett fan I have read many, many star wars books and played many of their video games I have grown to like the Boba Fett seris such as:
Book 1 The fight to survive
Book 3 Maze of deception
Book 5 A new threat
Book 4 Hunted
But this book is (like I said in the title) a discrace I love star wars but this book is a exeption. The story line was okay and showing how Boba Fett learns from his mistakes and makes a friend but there is no fighting!
Sure there is a little in the begining of the book but none later on and I have bought three times as cheep books for my size for like $1.50 this is way more expencive. So bottom line don't read this book!

p.s: May the force be with you all.

I read this book and it was amazingly cool! I liked the book because Boba was only 10 years old and he flew the Slave 1 all by himself. He had to find his own way in the universe. It was weird because he met other bounty hunters that helped him because they knew his dad, Jango Fett. I liked it because it was about my favorite characters in Star Wars. Boba Fett is not a bad guy, he was not bad or good. It was kinda of sad that Boba Fett was all alone in the universe and he had to make his own way at only 10 years old. All in all this book was very suspenseful and I couldn't wait to finish the story!

This is the second book in the Boba Fett series. I highly recommend this book, and I recommend the other books in this series, too:
-The Fight to Survive (#1)
-Maze of Deception (#3)
-Hunted (#4)
-A New Threat (#5)
-Pursuit (#6)

Star Wars: Boba Fett #2: Crossfire, by Terry Bisson

"Crossfire" is the second book in a six book series on the life of young Boba Fett. Boba is now the guest, or prisoner, depending on how you look at it, of Count Dooku. When the starting war comes to Raxus Prime, Boba manages to escape the junkyard planet by pretending to be an orphan.

While en route to a Bespin orphanage, Boba makes the first friend of his life. But when he's torn between his new friend and his father's teachings - which will he choose?

"Crossfire" was a bit blah to me, and even though it's a short book, it felt like it dragged on for too long. I think it could have been tightened up a little.

2/5.

Per my son this is a great book, he just got into Star Wars and he loved this series of books.

One thing that totally flawed this book: that it hardly had fighting combat. Anyway, what do you expect? Boba Fett is not a Jedi and is a wanna-be Bounty Hunter (10 yrs of age). This book describes Boba's adventures after the death of his father, and, after Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, especially how he is surviving. 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. For those people who read Boba Fett, you should really pick up the Jedi Quest series, it is much better than these Boba Fett books.

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.

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.
