By: Karen Traviss

Length: 7 hrs and 47 mins

Publisher's summary

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 14-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 audiobook form by none other than number one New York Times best-selling Star Wars author Karen Traviss.

great story

awesome story and wonderfully narrated. i love the writing of the clones it really gives you a better look at rex for sure.

Great story!

I thought this was a really good story. Worth the read. Loved 'hearing' the thoughts of Anakin. This is the beginning of the sweet friendship between Anakin and Ahsoka.

Fantastic work!

It is incredible how Karen Traviss took a decent movie into a great story, providing insight on the less known characters, specially the clones that are her specialty. Even though you may know the outcome from the movie, you are sitting on the edge of the chair because of this masterful adaptation. And not only the story, but the general production of the audiobook excels at conveying you are in the Star Wars universe. Jeff Gurner is a superb narrator and his voice work is astonishing. I highly recommend this book.

Awesome

It was so good such a good storyline I loved it this is from Brody Owen!!!

Better than movie, should've been canon...

This book was fan-freaken-tastic! Way more in depth than the movie, much, much, MUCH more in depth. My only wish would have been that this been made canon.

Great "read", wonderful time passer, definitely worth buying.

A great intro to new Star Wars saga

A fantastic intro to the cowboy Jedi Kannen, posssibly the coolest Jedi evdr, the beautiful and amazfing Herra, and one awesomw ship.We get to see how the Empire makes everyday people's lives miserable,the rot, and the first big action of the rebellion and the Rebels. Very well narrated with excuisite voicing of every character giving us the sense of what the characters are like and look (his voicing of Herra is indeed alluring and makes you believe it is what grabbed Kannen's attention first, even if the excellent tv voice for is more motherly), this book is a great listen and one you will repeat. One of the best in the whole SW corpus.

Star Wars the Clone Wars

A lot of action and animation.To me, it's the best thing ever because i love action and animation!!

I liked all of it, but I liked how we multiple perspectives.

I Liked it all except for all the people who died. But over all I liked it a lot and will listen to it again

great book

narrator kinda hurt the book. the sounds that he made were hard to get over. took way from a great book.

NO WORRIES!!!! THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY ABRIDGED!!!!

Y'all... I went on a quest to find out if this book was actually abridged or not and it's NOT!!!! I even emailed audible about this and they told me it WAS. I went in, bought the kindle ebook and followed along while I listened to the audio!! There were some minor differences (I imagine made in editing), but these are the same book. Nothing is cut out from the audio vs. the kindle ebook. SMH! I will email audible about this again, because I hate picking up abridged books from audio. I want the full thing!!

Anyways, here is my mini-review down below!

Ugh... I love my boys ❤️

I literally don't even care that I've already seen the shows (and am now rewatching the clone wars), seen the Star Wars clone wars movie multiple times, rewatched the prequels a million times... I will never get enough of this era or seeing more of Anakin's POV. I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!

I mean... what is there to say??? If you love the show and the movie, this is a good read. It follows the move really well, but as always the books are able to expand and elaborate on some things you just can't in the show/films. There's a lot of inner dialog and reflection that I just love because I love to be inside the heads of my favorite characters. We get a lot of Rex and Anakin in this one, which is always so fun.

I've read Anakin's POV in enough books now that none of it is new, but I just love to see him angst and brood. 🤣 what can I say???

Lots of great moments in this book. From Rex pondering about the war and watching his brothers die, to Anakin's true thoughts and feelings regarding risking his life and his men's lives in order to save a Hutt, to his brushes with the darkside... Loved this so much!! I am excited to get into the other clone wars books Ms. Traviss wrote.

Also.. narrator was pretty good! Loved him in Wild Space. He did pronounce some names wrongs (such as Asajj), but not a super big deal. He does a GREAT Obi-Wan!
