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.

I wasn't exactly blown away by the Clone Wars on the big screen It wasn't awful--but it wasn't great either. The plot had several gaping holes. (Yeah, I know it was just a cartoon, but that is no excuse.) However, in her novelisation of the film Karen Traviss does a fair job of plugging those holes.
Traviss gives Anakin's new Padawan some real teeth (literally), transforming Asoka from an annoyingly precocious child into a born predator. She delves into Anakin's internal monolog, ... Read More

I had seen the animated movie. I knew that it was directed mainly at the younger generation of prospective fans and dyed-in-the-wool Star Wars aficionados. Since I knew about Tracy West's same-titled junior novelization of the movie, I assumed that Karen Traviss's adaptation would be directed at adult Star Wars devotees. To put it simply: I was mistaken.
While the book does give more background and describes events in more detail, the plot simply isn't deep enough for an adult novel. ... Read More

While Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker lead their troops to victory on Christophsis, Jabba the Hutt faces a crisis of his own when his son is mysteriously kidnapped on Tatooine. Jabba sends out a call for help to the Jedi Council and they reluctantly agree to set up a rescue mission in exchange for access to the Hutt controlled Outer Rim space lanes. Anakin is called in to lead the mission and soon discovers a devious plot that could ... Read More

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 for her ... 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.
