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?
With the Jedi all but wiped out in the grim aftermath of Order 66,
the Empire's power seems unchecked. But one lone Knight continues
to fight the good fight-against all odds and when all else fails.
Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, Jedi Jax Pavan ekes out a living
as a private investigator, a go-to, can-do guy for the downtrodden.
Now a mysterious Zeltron knockout named Deejah approaches Jax with
a case that needs to be cracked: to find out who killed her artist
lover Volette, brutally murdered hours after his triumphant
unveiling of a dazzling new light sculpture with obvious links to
lightsaber pyrotechnics.
Finding Volette's killer won't be easy-too many secrets, too many
suspects, and all kinds of motives. But with the droid I-5YQ's
help, and ex-reporter Den Dhur's excellent snooping skills, the
investigation is soon operating like a well-oiled machine.
Unfortunately, there's a far more efficient machine hunting Jax.
It's a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as the clock starts ticking
toward the final explosive showdown . . . to see who strikes first
and who will die first.
After the Empire's bloody purge of the Jedi, one lone Knight still
fights for those who cannot, unaware that he's about to be swept
into a cataclysmic battle against the Master of Darkness himself.
Throughout the galaxy, a captured Jedi is a dead Jedi, even in
Coruscant's most foul subterranean slums, where Jedi Knight Jax
Pavan champions the causes of the oppressed with the help of
hard-nosed reporter Den Dhur and the wisecracking droid I-5YQ. But
Jax is also involved in another struggle-to unlock the secrets of
his father's death and his own past.
While Jax believes that I-5YQ holds some of those answers, he never
imagines that the truth could be shocking enough to catapult him to
the frontlines of a plot to kill Emperor Palpatine. Worse yet,
Darth Vader's relentless search for Jax is about to end . . . in
triumph.
The future looming over the valiant Jedi and his staunch pals
promises to be dark and brief, because there's no secret whatsoever
about the harshest truth of all: Few indeed are those who tangle
with Darth Vader . . . and live to tell the tale.
"THAT'S NO MOON."
-Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Death Star's name says it all, with bone-chilling accuracy. It
is a virtual world unto itself-equipped with uncanny power for a
singularly brutal purpose: to obliterate entire planets in the
blink of an eye. Its annihilation of the planet Alderaan, at the
merciless command of Grand Moff Tarkin, lives in infamy. And its
own ultimate destruction, at the hands of Luke Skywalker, is the
stuff of legend. But what is the whole story, and who are the
players, behind the creation of this world-killing satellite of
doom?
The near extermination of the Jedi order cleared the way for
Palpatine-power-hungry Senator and Sith Lord-to seize control of
the Republic, declare himself Emperor, and usher in a fearsome,
totalitarian regime. But even with the dreaded Darth Vader
enforcing Palpatine's sinister will, the threat of rebellion still
looms. And the Emperor knows that only abject fear-and the ability
to punish dissent with devastating consequences-can ensure his
unchallenged control of the galaxy. Enter ambitious and ruthless
government official Wilhuff Tarkin, architect of the Emperor's
terrifying dream come true.
From inception to completion, construction of the unprecedented
Death Star is awash in the intrigues, hidden agendas, unexpected
revelations, and daring gambits of those involved on every level.
The brightest minds and boldest egos, the most ambitious and
corrupt, the desperate and the devious, all have a stake in the
Death Star-and its potential to control the fate of the galaxy.
Soldiers and slaves, loyalists and Rebels, spies and avengers, the
innocent and the evil-all their paths and fates will cross and
intertwine as the Death Star moves from its maiden voyage to its
final showdown. And a shadowy chapter of Star Wars history is
stunningly illuminated in a thrilling, unforgettable adventure.

SPECIAL BONUS INSIDE--the exclusive story, "Star Wars(R) Darth Maul: Saboteur" by James Luceno, previously available in e-book format only!
"While the Clone Wars wreak havoc throughout the galaxy, the
situation on the far world of Drongar is desperate, as Republic
forces engage in a fierce fight with the Separatists. . . .
"
The threatened enemy offensive begins as the Separatists employ
legions of droids into their attack. Even with reinforcements, the
flesh and blood of the Republic forces are just no match for battle
droids' durasteel. Nowhere is this point more painfully clear than
in the steaming Jasserak jungle, where the doctors and nurses of a
small med unit face an impossible situation. As the dead and
wounded start to pile up, surgeons Jos Vandar and Kornell "Uli"
Divini know that time is running out.
Even the Jedi abilities of Padawan Barriss Offee have been
stretched to the limit. Ahead lies a test for Barriss that could
very well lead to her death-and that of countless others. For the
conflict is growing-and for this obscure mobile med unit, there's
only one resolution. Shocking, bold, unprecedented, it's the only
option Jos and his colleagues really have.The unthinkable has
become the inevitable. Whether it kills them or not remains to be
seen.

Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is among the most famous
literary figures of all time. For more than a hundred years, his
adventures have stood as imperishable monuments to the ability of
human reason to penetrate every mystery, solve every puzzle, and
punish every crime.
For nearly as long, the macabre tales of H. P. Lovecraft have
haunted readers with their nightmarish glimpses into realms of
cosmic chaos and undying evil. But what would happen if Conan
Doyle's peerless detective and his allies were to find themselves
faced with mysteries whose solutions lay not only beyond the grasp
of logic, but of sanity itself.
In this collection of all-new, all-original tales, twenty of
today's most cutting edge writers provide their answers to that
burning question.
"A Study in Emerald" by Neil Gaiman: A gruesome murder exposes a
plot against the Crown, a seditious conspiracy so cunningly wrought
that only one man in all London could have planned it-and only one
man can hope to stop it.
"A Case of Royal Blood" by Steven-Elliot Altman: Sherlock Holmes
and H. G. Wells join forces to protect a princess stalked by a
ghost-or perhaps something far worse than a ghost.
"Art in the Blood" by Brian Stableford: One man's horrific
affliction leads Sherlock Holmes to an ancient curse that threatens
to awaken the crawling chaos slumbering in the blood of all
humankind.
"The Curious Case of Miss Violet Stone" by Poppy Z. Brite and David
Ferguson: A girl who has not eaten in more than three years teaches
Holmes and Watson that sometimes the impossible "cannot" be
eliminated.
"The Horror of the Many Faces" by Tim Lebbon: Dr. Watson witnesses
a maniacal murder in London-and recognizes the villain as none
other than his friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
"With these and fourteen other dark tales of madness, horror, and
deduction, a new and terrible game is afoot.
"
The terrifyingly surreal universe of horror master H. P. Lovecraft

"From the Hardcover edition."
Ever since Emperor Palpatine's Order 66--which called for the
execution of all Jedi--Jax Pavan is the last Knight around to fight
the dark side of the Force. Together with his droid I-5, Jax has
eluded Vader time and again, all the while wreaking havoc against
the Empire through the underground resistance on Coruscant. But now
the Rebel's leader on the city-planet has been captured, and it's
up to the Last Jedi to ride again...possibly for one final
adventure.
As Civil War between the Republic and the Separatists rages across
the galaxy, nowhere is the fighting more fierce than on the swamp
world of Drongar, where a beleaguered mobile hospital unit wages a
never-ending war of its own . . .
A surgeon who covers his despair with wise-cracks; another who
faces death and misery head-on, venting his emotions through
beautiful music . . . A nurse with her heart in her work and her
eye on a doctor . . . A Jedi Padawan on a healing mission without
her Master . . . These are the core members of a tiny med unit
serving the jungle world of Drongar, where battle is waged over the
control of a priceless native plant, and an endless line of
medlifters brings in the wounded and dying -- mostly clone
troopers, but also soldiers of all species.
While the healers work desperately to save lives, others plot
secretly to profit from the war -- either by dealing on the black
market or by manipulating the events of the war itself. In the end,
though, all will face individual tests, and only those of
compassionate hearts and staunch spirits can hope to survive to
fight another day.

Darth Maul, merciless apprentice of evil and one of the legendary
Sith, a twisted order given over to the dark side of the
Force...Darth Maul, champion of the nefarious Sith Lord, Darth
Sidious...Darth Maul, a legend sprung to life from the nightmares
of history, about to be unleashed . . . in an all-new tale of
intrigue and mystery set just before the events of Star Wars:
Episode I The Phantom Menace.
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.
He meets secretly with his Neimoidian contacts in the Trade
Federation to plan the blockade of the planet Naboo. But one member
of the delegation is missing, and Sidious does not need his
Force-honed instincts to suspect betrayal. He orders his
apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt the traitor down.
On Coruscant, capital city of the Republic, the Neimoidian moves
quickly to sell what he knows to the highest bidder. For Lorn
Pavan, an information broker, the deal is too good to pass up. He
grabs it, unaware that he has now earned a place on Darth Maul's
hit list, right behind the Neimoidian defector himself.
Meanwhile, a young Jedi padawan by the name of Darsha Assant stands
on the verge of ascension to Jedi knighthood. A single mission will
be her test. But a greater test awaits her. For in the labyrinthine
alleyways and sewers of Coruscant's own dark side, she will cross
paths with Lorn, who is fleeing from the Sith stalker, carrying
with him crucial information that must reach the Jedi Council at
all costs.
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 theForce, hope to triumph over one of the deadliest killers in
the galaxy?
The third of three related novels starring Jedi Jax Pavan, droid
I-5YQ, and journalist Den Dhur during the time directly after the
events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Jax Pavan is one of the
few Jedi Knights who survived the slaughter of Order 66. Now he
ekes out a living as a private investigator in the bowels of
Coruscant, trying to help people in need while avoiding revealing
himself as a Jedi to those who are still ready to kill any Jedi who
remain alive--and especially Darth Vader.

"NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER
KNIGHT OF RECKONING
The Emperor's ruthless Order 66 has all but exterminated the Jedi.
The few remaining who still wield the Force for good have been
driven into exile or hiding. But not Jax Pavan, who's been steadily
striking blows against the Empire--as a lone guerrilla fighter and
a valued partner of Whiplash, a secret Coruscant-based resistance
group. Now he's taking on his most critical mission: transporting a
valued Whiplash leader, targeted for assassination, from Coruscant
to safety on a distant world. It's a risky move under any
circumstances, but Jax and his trusted crew aboard the "Far Ranger,
" including the irrepressible droid I-Five, are prepared to pit
their combat skills and their vessel's firepower against all
Imperial threats--except the one Jax fears most. Reports have raced
across the galaxy that the dark lord of the Sith has fallen in a
duel to the death with a Rebel freedom fighter. But Jax discovers
the chilling truth when he reaches out with the Force . . . only to
touch the dark, unmistakable, and malignantly alive presence that
is Darth Vader. And Jax knows that Vader will stop at nothing until
the last Jedi has fallen.
Stranded on Tatooine with a broken-down hyperdrive, Dash Rendar and
crew--his Nautolan copilot, Eaden Vrill, and a droid named
Leebo--have to find a way to raise credits. It comes in the lovely
form of Javul Charn, a multi-talented human holostar being stalked
by an over-zealous fan. She needs bodyguards to protect her during
her tour along the Corellian Run; Dash needs credits. It's a
perfect match...until things begin to go wrong--seriously and
dangerously wrong. By the time Dash realizes that the threat to
Javul is not what it seems, he's in up to his neck in a conspiracy
that goes much deeper than anything he would have signed up for.
Even with the help of his hated rival--Han Solo--will Dash be able
to protect this spoiled entertainer, all the while being reminded
that he couldn't protect his own family?
The Death Star is one of the great icons of the science fiction
genre. Now veteran Star Wars authors Michael Reaves and Steve Perry
join forces to tell the story of the Death Star, from the start of
its construction to its final destruction at the hands of Luke
Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance. New characters flesh out the
human aspect of the tale with pathos and bathos; familiar
characters, like Darth Vader and Moff Tarkin, the architect of the
Death Star, also have their parts to play. Even Luke, Princess
Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca the Wookiee, show up in cameo roles,
from the familiar movie scenes when they were captured on and then
escaped from the Death Star. DEATH STAR is a book for all Star Wars
fans -- not just the core fans who read everything the so-called
"expanded universe" has to offer, but also all those who loved the
original movies.
A novel of healers in wartime, in which a unit of medics struggles
against the worst possible circumstances to save lives as the Clone
Wars rage around them. With a special appearance by Jedi Padawan
Barriss Offee, who will gain her Knighthood in the course of this
exciting duology. A little of M*A*S*H, a little of ER, a lot of
Star Wars! A must-read for everyone who saw STAR WARS: ATTACK OF
THE CLONES and looks forward to seeing STAR WARS: EPISODE III!
