I loved this book. Finally are we able to learn something of the life of Darth Maul. Taking place immediately before the beginning of The Phantom Menace, we follow the efforts of Darth Maul to prevent the premature exposure of the Sith.

Reaves combines action, suspense, and often humor, into an effortless, fast read. As the story takes place in the bowels of Coruscant, we see some of the incongruities of the Republic government, and the Jedi. We also get a few tantalizing glimpses of Darth Sidious, as he directs the actions of Maul in his pursuit.

The battles are very nicely written, without being overdone, and letting us into the mind of Maul, with his contempt for the Jedi, and basically all non-Sith. I had a few minor complaints about this book, but to discuss them would be to reveal essential events in the story.

I do recommend this book to all Star Wars enthusiasts, assuming you haven't already got this one. If you're waiting for paperback, you still want to remember to get this one. It reads fast, like all the Star Wars books -- you just can't put it down!

This book was excellent. It was exciting, cool, and sort of scary. The Sith Lord Darth Maul takes a leading role in this sci-fi thriller. It is his first major mission and turns out to be difficult. While chasing the trade federation emmisary he runs into two jedi knights and elimenates them both. He finally catches up with the alein and completes his mission. The entire book all leads up to the recent Star Wars Episode 1 feature film. To top off the great story filled with unpredictable turns it contains all the familar cast of characters, including Obi Wan Kenobi, Qui Gon Jinn, and Yoda. Overall this had it all and was great.

What an amazing book, though starting off a bit slow its amazing. Whats you get past the first couple of chapters it is impossible to put down, when you get closer to the end its even harder to put down. No joke up to the last page literally the last page there is a plot twist going on that cathces you by surprise. Very well written by far the best star wars book I know of. Must have for any star wars fan.
