Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERSet 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 galaxy's 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 "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 From the Hardcover edition.

  • I really enjoyed reading this book, even though it had a lot of chapters. The way it connected with the Darth Plagueis novel and explored the Bando Gora and its leader's role in the Star Wars universe was fascinating. Maul was a mysterious character. It was surprising to see that he lacked personality in certain situations, often choosing to remain silent and serious. However, his struggles to survive Cog Hive Seven and conceal his dark side abilities as instructed revealed more about his true character. I must say, Jonathan Davis did an outstanding job narrating the audiobook. He was truly phenomenal.
  • I wasn't expecting such a mysterious and intricate storyline. This audiobook is a fantastic addition to Maul's backstory before "The Phantom Menace." There are some intense and brutal moments portraying the chaos in the prison, but it also incorporates humor that suits the setting perfectly. I definitely recommend giving it a listen.
  • I absolutely loved the storyline of 'Star Wars: Maul: Lockdown'. Without a doubt, Darth Maul is the ultimate Star Wars character for me, and this book did an excellent job of showcasing his incredible strength even when he was stripped of his force abilities and cut off from the force altogether. While there were a few loose ends in the plot, especially when compared to the previous book I listened to called 'Star Wars: Darth Plagueis', where some characters seemed to behave differently and were portrayed better. Nevertheless, this book is still absolutely amazing and I couldn't get enough of it! The fights and Maul's intellectual prowess in this completely new and challenging environment were truly indescribable.
  • Maul is kind of intriguing, but the other characters don't really stand out. This was my second time delving into the world of Star Wars books, and neither have impressed me. It's a shame because I had high hopes. While there's a lot of prison life and intense hand-to-hand combat in life-or-death situations, the overall story becomes repetitive and somewhat boring. It's quite disappointing.
  • Let me tell you, in my honest opinion, 'Star Wars: Maul: Lockdown' is hands down one of the absolute best Star Wars books out there. I mean, seriously, it's like the crème de la crème of Star Wars literature. I was completely hooked from start to finish, and let me tell you, I was practically glued to my seat like a zombie for a solid three days just immersing myself in this incredible audiobook. The story, oh man, it's absolutely fantastic. And the narration? Oh, it's simply fabulous. Trust me, this audiobook is an absolute gem.
  • This audiobook, 'Star Wars: Maul: Lockdown', presents an intense narrative set in a time period preceding episode 1. It delves into Darth Maul's quest to fulfill his master's mission and prove his worthiness for the grand plan. The voice work and sound effects were exceptional, adding to the overall immersive experience. Additionally, there were enjoyable surprises and hidden gems for knowledgeable and observant fans. I highly recommend investing time in this audiobook.
