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.

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.)

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!

this book was AWESOME! i really enjoyed it!first of all, it begins where BOBA FETT 5: A NEW THREAT left off. after rescuing himself from being burned alive, Boba is attacked by Asajj Ventress... to be saved by Anakin Skywalker. Anakin brings Boba to Coruscant, where Mace Windu lives...

I bought the Baba Fett collection new. My son really likes this series of Star Wars. They also arrived before the stimated time, making it in time for Christmas even though we didn't expected it. Great service, Thanks!

This has been a very good book to read. I enjoyed it a lot! It is really fun to read! :D

I enjoyed this book finshed in half an hour.But I have to agree with the other review.Boba acts like it is his first time in corusant but he had an adventure in crossfire!And he meats Anakin Skywalker when he and and obi wan should be fighting the banking clan on Muunilist.I am not saying its a bad book.But Elizebeth Hand made some flaws.

The Boba Fett series was mildly entertaining at best and uninterestingly shallow at worst, but at least the other five books made some semblance of sense. And they were decent enough for kids and kids at heart. "Pursuit" self destructs with all the grace of Boba Fett's infamous fall into the sarlaac.

Boba Fett sounds excited to be going to Coruscant for the first time, except it's not. The author must have forgotten that in the first novel of the series, penned by another, Boba had already had an adventure there. This is very jarring, as well as some of the encounters. Ventress is mentioned in a fight against Fett but in the timeline, she is enjoying her supposed death at that point. Boba meeting Anakin seems highly out of place, given its intimacy and how those characters reacted to each other in their scenes in the actual film of ESB.

Failing to connect to the previous book is one sin, but for Boba Fett to decide "oh well, Jabba won't mind if I don't bring in that bounty"...??? err, no. That's just not Boba Fett. It doesn't even make sense with what Elizabeth Hand has already written about Jabba (previously a big time gangster with little time for losers) for him to be shrugged off so simply.

It's such a shame, because the other books were quite good. They had direction and purpose.

This one is a shambles. Give it a miss and end with "A New Threat" instead.

Once upon a time there was a boy named Boba Fett. His father's name was Jengo Fett. One day Anakin came and fought both of them. Then Anakin put his light saber back on his belt. Anakin saw two Jedi knights named Mace Windu and Kit Misto. They fought a bad guy named Darth Maul. Then they put their light sabers back into their belt.

My thoughts: The book was good because it was full of action. I like their names. The story was sad and good.
