"NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER
Set 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."
