Star Wars: Maul: Lockdown
Star Wars: Maul: Lockdown | Joe Schreiber
4 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
From the mind of Joe Schreiber, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Death Troopers, comes the delirious follow-up to last year's Darth Plagueis. In a tale of retribution and survival set before the events of The Phantom Menace, Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious dispatch Sith apprentice Darth Maul on a secret mission to infiltrate a criminal empire operating from inside Cog Hive Seven--a hidden prison teeming with the galaxy's most savage criminals. There, he must contend against the scummiest and most villainous in gladiatorial death matches while carrying out his masters' clandestine commands. Failure is not an option; success will ignite the revenge of the Sith against the Jedi Order.

27/100 I bailed on Schreiber's other Star Wars book, Red Harvest, but I really enjoyed this one. All I know about Darth Maul is what I got from Episode 1, but he's a very interesting character, brutal, viscous, and very good at fighting. For some reason, I like the Star Wars books dealing with the bad guys, more than the heroes. Schreiber's writing is dark, violent, gory and intense, definitely showing the dark ⬇️

eclectic-reader Do you read graphic novels? If so, I highly recommend Gillen's Darth Vader run. The focus is very much on the villains. Pretty awesome. 20h

I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

Unabridged Audiobook (7/10):
Maul is by far one of my favorite Star Wars characters of all time, and finally seeing him in Legends was very interesting and exciting. His mission throughout this story is very interesting and helps me to understand why Maul might have behaved the way he did when finally fighting Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. The narration from Jonathan Davis was by far the worst part of this, and I‘ve realized, I simply don‘t like his work.

This might be a quick bail. The audio of this has a lot of background effects/Star Wars sounds and effects. Much of which seems misplaced so far. Like the sound of a jet engine during a fist fight. A lot of robot chirps and beeps. Those sounds playing over the dialogue is distracting.
