Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic
A great story and a kind of R rated Star Wars story with everyone’s favourite Sith Assassin. I loved how we got to see so many character perspectives and stories intertwined throughout this book. From the prisoners, to Cartel members, to Maul himself and his Sith Masters, everything actually flowed really well.
Big points for choosing to tie this story in with the plot of Darth Plagueis!
However the ending of this story felt rushed to me. It was quite a long book, but the ending kind of just happened without too much resolve between Maul & a character who appears mostly toward the end. Had it been shared with the character of the Warden or Maul having to kill the boy at the end for no witnesses kind of thing, I think it would have worked better.
Kind of weird how there’s another prisoner out there that’s alive and knows about Maul, who went to great lengths to keep his identity secret.
I dunno, but I enjoyed it none the less!
One of the more violent stories
So lockdown is about darth maul in a space prison after being sent there by his master darth sidious to look for someone. From the opening pages this book is a lot more violent than most Star Wars novels out there which some people might find jarring. Pretty much nearly all the characters in here are bad people so it’s pretty easy to cheer for maul throughout. All in all it’s an ok book, if you’re a fan of maul it’s always good to see more adventures of him.
