Lockdown: Star Wars (Maul)
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Set before the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, this new novel is a thrilling follow-up to Star Wars: Darth Plagueis. It's kill or be killed in the space penitentiary that houses the galaxyas worst criminals, where convicts face off in gladiatorial combat while an underworld gambling empire reaps the profits of the illicit blood sport. But the newest contender in this savage arena, as demonic to behold as he is deadly to challenge, is fighting for more than just survival. His do-or-die mission, for the dark masters he serves, is to capture the ultimate weapon: an object that will enable the Sith to conquer the galaxy. Sith lords Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious are determined to possess the prize. And one of the power-hungry duo has his own treacherous plans for it. But first, their fearsome apprentice must take on a bloodthirsty prison warden, a cannibal gang, cutthroat crime lord Jabba the Hutt, and an unspeakable alien horror. No one else could brave such a gauntlet of death and live. But no one else is the dreaded dark-side disciple known as Darth Maul. Praise for Lockdown aSchreiber . . . was a great choice for this novel, imbuing the story with a dark, foreboding tone while never quite stepping into the horror territories that Death Troopers and Red Harvest took us.aaJedi News aFans of the dark side should rejoice. Lockdown delivers a canat-put-this-down tale of scum and villainy.aaClub Jade a[Lockdown is] an action-packed ride that spins one entertaining chapter after another. The multiple layers of story keeps readers guessing what will happen next and just who will live and who will die. . . . It certainly adds to the character of Darth Maul while matching [Darth] Plagueisas complexity with sheer fun. . . . Five out of five metal bikinis.aaRoqoo Depot aSomehow, Schreiber is able to skate the line between hard-hitting prison story and the adventure and excitement I love from Star Wars in a way that doesnat betray either genre. Itas really quite masterful.aaBig Shiny Robot aLockdown is an exciting, engaging read. . . . It actually lines up beautifully for a sequel, which I, for one, would love to read.aaCoffee with Kenobi aThe novel makes The Clone Wars better. It also illuminates The Phantom Menace. I think itas the hallmark of the best tie-in fiction to resonate throughout other parts of the expanded universe in that way.aaKnightsa Archive aBy the fiftieth page, I was hooked. . . . Lockdown is a wonderful aantiheroa novel, where itas just fine to root for the villain, because there are even worse things out there. This book was so fun and entertaining. Iall have to keep an eye out for more Star Wars books from Schreiber.aaSeattle Geekly From the Hardcover edition.aWhat do you mean, see forthemselves?a aIsimply mean ...
