Product Description:
Across the galaxy, the Clone Wars are raging. The Separatists, led by Count Dooku, the onetime Jedi and now secret Sith Lord, continue to press forward, and more and more worlds are either falling, or seceding and joining the cause. Under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the Republic heroically battles on, championed by its huge army of cloned soldiers and their Jedi generals.
Anakin Skywalker, believed by some to be the prophesied “Chosen One” destined to bring balance to the Force, is now a Jedi Knight under the tutelage of his Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Death is a constant possibility–and his chances of survival aren’t improved by the unexpected arrival of an apprentice: Ahsoka, a brash, inexperienced fourteen-year-old Padawan apprenticed to Anakin. But there’s no time for Anakin to question his latest orders: He and Obi-Wan have been assigned a new mission, and failure is not an option.
Jabba the Hutt’s precious infant son has been kidnapped, and when the frantic parent applies to the Jedi for help, it falls to Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and their clone troops to track down the evidence and retrieve the missing Huttlet. And more is at stake: For a grateful Jabba just might allow the Republic access to the Hutt-controlled space lanes that the Grand Army desperately needs in order to beat the Separatists into submission.
But the Republic is not the only power that craves access to those space lanes. Count Dooku, determined to win the prize for the Separatists, has set a trap for the Jedi. When they find the Huttlet, they will also find Dooku’s master assassin, Asajj Ventress, and countless legions of battle droids waiting to spring a trap.
The blazing new animated feature film Star Wars: The Clone Wars takes place in the years preceding Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and sets the stage for the groundbreaking TV series. Both contain all original material–direct from the brilliant imagination of legendary Star Wars creator George Lucas. And these exciting new adventures and characters are being brought to life in book form by none other than #1 New York Times bestselling Star Wars author Karen Traviss.

The actual Clone Wars, not the book, have come a long ways in the Star Wars universe. We originally learned of them from a mostly off-hand reference early in the films. Some of us may have wondered then what kind of fighting went on during the Clone Wars. When was it? Where was it fought? Exactly who was on each side?
Well, here we are down the road. We have a movie. We have an animated TV series, and we have a book by none other than Karen Traviss. Ms Traviss is noted particularly ... Read More

This is another exciting adventure in the Clone Wars. I really like the way that they give a little bit of background on Asajj Ventress. Another great character that I think a book should be written about her. This also shows the struggles that Anakin has with being a general, a jedi, and a mentor and the sruggle within himself.
Over all a good quick read that keeps the cast of characters to a minimum and the characters are ones we know.

This was fairly well-written and worth the read. It can serve as a nice supplement to the film. There are definitely scenes in the film that are not covered in much detail in the book, but are only hinted at, which I found strange, given that novelizations can usually tell the whole story that the film doesn't have time for, but that wasn't the case with this book. You can safely read the book before going to the film, and still view new stuff during the film itself.

Karen Traviss isn't my favorite Star Wars writer, but she is coming a close second with this one. I was a little worried because even though I had read her other books I still thought she lacked something in the telling of Star Wars, she was too military with her story telling, and I'm in the military. With this book she proves to me that nobody writes clones better than her. She weaves the military into the Star Wars genre with ease and without the forced spec ops feel of the other books she has ... Read More

This is a nice book, which could have had a better history line, but anyway I enjoyed it.
