5.0 out of 5 stars Conclusion to a Great Series!, December 29, 2004

This review is from: Pursuit (Star Wars: Boba Fett, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Boba Fett series comes to a thrilling conclusion with Boba, now a warrior and bounty hunter in his own right, seeking revenge on Mace Windu, the jedi who murdered his father at the start of the Clone Wars.
There is a twist ending I won't give away, but I will say Chancellor Palpatine makes a sudden appearance and there IS an actual confrontation between jedi and bounty hunter.

Readers might experience sympathy with the Boba character as he is basically a boy who grows up to be a cold warrior because of what happened to his father.

Having said that, while this series was primarily for younger readers, adults will get something out of it as well. I know I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Final (and darkest) book in the series. Review by a 14 year old Star Wars fan., May 20, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Pursuit (Star Wars: Boba Fett, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

I was astounded by the cover's CGI redition of Asaji Ventress. I just picked it up and bought it. Some of the major points in the book:
-Anakin( a couple months away from becoming Vader) and Boba encounter each other and become friends( which actually shows why Darth didn't strangle Boba when he objected to his orders in ESB- because they are friends.).
- Boba goes to the Jedi Temple and encounters Mace Windu (killed Jango Fett) by just a glimpse.
- Boba gets his weapons back and breaks into the emporer's throne room and fights Mace, with Mace about to win when Palpatine interrupts, and Boba tells the soon- to- be emporer about dooku. (I still think Boba should have killed Mace in ROTS instead of Anakin.)

This review is from: Pursuit (Star Wars: Boba Fett, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

Although adult readers will completely blow through this series in a few hours, it is well worth reading. Definately took me back to my "dumb kid" days seeing Boba make all of the mistakes he did as a youth. Driven off hatred and vengence...this definately sets a good back story for the best Bounty Hunter in the galaxy. Must read for all ages!
