Items related to Star Wars: Maul: Lockdown
From the mind of Joe Schreiber, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars:
Death Troopers, comes the delirious successor 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.

Review:
Schreiber . . . 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. Jedi News
Fans of the dark side should rejoice. Lockdown delivers a can t-put-this-down tale of scum and villainy. Club Jade
[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] Plagueis s complexity with sheer fun. . . . Five out of five metal bikinis. Roqoo Depot
Somehow, 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 doesn t betray either genre. It s really quite masterful. Big Shiny Robot
Lockdown is an exciting, engaging read. . . . It actually lines up beautifully for a sequel, which I, for one, would love to read. Coffee with Kenobi
The novel makes The Clone Wars better. It also illuminates The Phantom Menace. I think it s the hallmark of the best tie-in fiction to resonate throughout other parts of the expanded universe in that way. Knights Archive
By the fiftieth page, I was hooked. . . . Lockdown is a wonderful antihero novel, where it s just fine to root for the villain, because there are even worse things out there. This book was so fun and entertaining. I ll have to keep an eye out for more Star Wars books from Schreiber. Seattle Geekly"
