Though some of the book seemed very familiar as if taken from a section of a previous book the overall story of Jimmy the Hand was an interesting insight into Jimmy's life before the big saga found him once again saving a prince.

The young Jimmy the Hand helps Anita and Arutha escape, and so is related to earlier books, but the main focus of this novel deals with the young thief, and what happens to him afterwards as a result of his actions. Basically, he has to bail out into the countryside, and see what he can work out for himself and a friend there. Needless to say, there will be some trouble to be found. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2007/10... (  ) maketest | Aug 26, 2009 | Thief escapes.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060792949, Paperback)Jimmy the Hand, boy thief of Krondor, lived in the shadows of the city. The sewers were his byways and a flea-ridden, rat-infested cellar his home. Although gifted beyond his peers, he was still but a nimble street urchin, a pickpocket with potential. Until the day he met Prince Arutha. Aiding the Prince in his rescue of Princess Anita from imprisonment by Duke Guy du Bas-Tyra, Jimmy runs afoul of Black Guy's secret police. Given the choice of disappearing on his own or in a weighted barrel at the bottom of Krondor's harbor, Jimmy flees the only home he's ever known, venturing south to the relatively safe haven of Land's End. Suspecting that the rural villagers have never encountered a lad with his talent and nose for finding wealth—other people's wealth—he's fairly optimistic about his broadening horizons. But Jimmy is completely unprepared for what greets him. For Land's End is home to others who tread the crooked path, and more, to a much darker secret: a dangerous presence unknown even to the local thieves and smugglers. And Jimmy's youthful bravado and courage will plunge him deep into the maw of chaos and even—if he isn't careful—death.
