I thought this was a very great book. Sadly this is the first one and I already read the second one not knowing that I read the second one. Overall this book is a great book for readers who like a good book that keeps them on the edge of their seat. This book is mainly about Boba Fett. Boba Fett is son of Jango Fett who is the creator of clone and a great bounty hunter. Jango knows people are after him trying to kill him and he knows he will die soon. But until then Jango is trying to teach and

A great look at one of the most enigmatic Star Wars characters.

Although the book is aimed at a younger audience the author did a fine job bringing a fair amount of depth to the book. The character of Boba for years had been described as a heartless bounty hunter only concerned with profit. What George Lucas and Terry Bliss have done is to mold him into a far more complicated character. What I gathered from this book is that Boba is someone who is both comfortable and uncomfortable in Jengo's shadow. Even though he is a clone, Boba is raised as a son, a son

Actual rating is 2.5 stars.This is the start of a new series that showcases Boba Fett as a child. In this one, we see what happens to a young Boba during the timeframe of Attack of the Clones. This series is meant for younger children.For the majority of this book I wasn't enjoying it. It was basically a rehash of the events of the movie but through the eyes of Boba Fett. I already know about these events and I imagine anyone who decided to read this book has seen the movie. Even young children....

This review encompasses all six in the Legends series, some of which are available for free with Amazon Prime, but are numbered in incorrect or confusing order on Amazon: 1) The Fight to Survive2) Crossfire3) Maze of Deception4) Hunted5) New Threat6) Pursuit I read these as bedtime stories for my 12 year old. They chronologically span the end of Attack of the Clones and the earlier seasons of The Clone Wars animation series. It is the story of the development of Boba Fett from the only unaltered...

A short story about the young Boba Fett, which parallels the events of the Episode II movie. The one, who saw the movie can easily recognize the events in the book, so there will be not much new in the story. However, some minor aspects of the story seem to be misaligned with the events in Episode II, which is a bit frustrating.Overall, this is a good read if you want to see the events of Episode II with the eyes of a 10-year-old Boba.

Star Wars Legends Project #103 Background: The Fight to Survive was written by Terry Bisson and published in April 2002. Bisson wrote the first two books in the Boba Fett series, but has no other Star Wars credits. He is a successful science fiction writer who has won a number of prestigious awards, particularly for his short stories.The Fight to Survive takes place mostly during the events of Attack of the Clones, 22 years before the battle of Yavin. The young Boba Fett is the main character

Star Wars: Boba Fett #1: The Fight to Survive, by Terry BissonThis Boba Fett series is aimed at younger readers, but as Boba Fett is one of my favorite Star Wars characters, I read everything I can find on him. This is book one of a six book series. "The Fight to Survive" covers the events of the film, "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones," and expands on Jango's death, Boba's upbringing, life on Kamino, and what Boba did after his father died. The writing is at a 9 to 12 year old level,

Glad I was able to pick this up after spending a portion of my childhood trying to get all the books of this series at school book fairs and not being able to. A fun, short read giving you a lot of insight into the mind of young Boba Fett and his trials and tribulations during, and immediately after, Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Although clearly intended as a book for children, it is well-written and very intreguing. Would recommend for Boba Fett and prequel fans if you have 4-6 hours to k...

I knew going into this book that it was designed for young readers, and it didn't disappoint. The large print, easy to follow plot, and shortened chapters are perfect to keep the young readers attention. But does everything have to be child like? What kind of a story involving Boba Fett has toys, hugs and tears, and fear?I got the impression that this story had little messages in it, such as; Don't trust strangers, Put your heart into something and you can do it, Believe, Being a clone is okay,

This series about Boba Fett's childhood is almost more to the Star Wars movie series, telling us even more about the Fett family and its connections with the Rebels and the Jedi's. The Fett Family (2 Clones- one Jango and the other Boba-) are a bounty hunting family, but Bobas dad (Jango Fett) is dead from a Jedi named Mace Windu (you may know him- he has a purple LightSaber,) and Boba wants to claim his revenge and avenge his father's death and he now hates the Jedi. When I read all 157/160 pag...

Story: 7/10Boba Fett takes his first steps into an unknown future

A fun Family read!

This is a 2002 junior novel that follows Boba during and slightly after the events of Attack of the Clones. The whole story is told through his eyes, and really brings forward the tragedy of how quickly he lost the only parent he ever had and the only life he ever knew. It's a perfect read for those who want a little extra insight into who Boba was in the early days, but also for those who are starved for a bit of Dad!Jango content. We even get a little Zam Wessel!

Read this with my 7 year old son. Surprisingly better than expected.

This isn't my first Bisson read, but I couldn't tell you much about the other two, since I can't remember a thing about them. Knowing that Bisson was an established science fiction author, though, gave me high hopes for the book. Maybe that's why I feel so disappointed with it.As the title suggests, this is the story of Boba Fett, but since this is the first in a series, what we get is just the very beginning of that story. More than half of the novel is made up of Boba's story from Episode II,

Psychologist Sigmund Freud once said,“From error to error one discovers the entire truth.” An example of this, can be seen within the life of Boba Fett in the science fiction Star Wars novel, The Fight To Survive by Terry Bisson. The errors of people around him, and some of his own mistakes, have accumulated into what is the tragedy of Boba Fett’s existence. In order to understand Boba Fett’s great turmoil, one must look upon each error, such as unaccountability and lack of foresight in dangerou...

What Happened to Boba After GenonosisThis is the first book in a series about the young Bob's Fett. While this book is aimed at youth, adult fans will enjoy the story of what happened to Boba after Jango Fett's death in the battle of Geonosis in Episode 2, Attack of the Clones. Bounty hunter fans will enjoy the tips and detail on the lifestyle of a bounty hunter in this era. 10 year old Bob's is learning quickly to adjust to life without his father and his adventures have only just begun.

I know this was yet another Young Adult oriented Star Wars novel, but, my god, that shouldn’t be an excuse for such a lazy and just overall childish story.Everything that Bisson writes about Boba Fett just feels wrong and way too kid friendly. He’s hugged. He has toys. Jango tells him he loves him. He has a friendly relationship with a robot that cries when he finds out Boba Fett is leaving. That’s not the bad ass Boba Fett we come to know in the films (and yes, I know, he’s not very badass when...
