For the infamous, power-hungry Sith, beholden to the dark side, the time has come to rise again.
 
After years of waiting in the shadows, Darth Sidious is taking the first step in his master plan to bring the Republic to its knees. Key to his scheme are the Neimoidians of the Trade Federation. Then one of his Neimoidian contacts disappears, and Sidious does not need his Force-honed instincts to suspect betrayal. He orders his apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt the traitor down.

But he is too late. The secret has already passed into the hands of information broker Lorn Pavan, which places him right at the top of Darth Maul’s hit list. Then, in the labyrinthine alleyways and sewers of Coruscant, capital city of the Republic, Lorn crosses paths with Darsha Assant, a Jedi Padawan on a mission to earn her Knighthood. Now the future of the Republic depends on Darsha and Lorn. But how can an untried Jedi and an ordinary man, stranger to the powerful ways of the Force, hope to triumph over one of the deadliest killers in the galaxy?
 
This special edition features an all-new Darth Maul short story as well as “Star Wars:® Darth Maul: Saboteur”—both written by New York Times bestselling author James Luceno!

Critic Reviews

“Reaves writes with a creative flair, allowing readers to experience an almost cinematic sensation as they move through the story. The language is colorful, the action scenes are dynamic, and the dialogue is realistic. . . . Shadow Hunter is a very good Star Wars novel that reads as easily as a comic book. . . . Reaves does an excellent job.”—Winston-Salem Journal

I went into Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter carrying years of what Maul meant to me… not just a character, but a presence — something sharp, silent, almost myth-like. And maybe that’s where this book quietly falters for me. It gives you Maul, yes, but not always the Maul you’ve built in your head over decades.

It isn’t a bad story. It moves, it has its moments, and there are flashes where you see that cold, relentless force he can be. But somehow, it feels contained… almost smaller than it should. For a character who has always felt larger than the scene he walks into, that restraint becomes noticeable.

Maybe my expectations were unfair. Or maybe Maul, as written here, is still finding himself. But I kept waiting for something more — something deeper, darker, something that makes you feel like you’ve brushed against something not entirely human.

It never quite gets there.

Still, it’s not without merit. It’s just… when you’ve lived with a character for 30 years, you don’t just want to see him.
