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 the Force, hope to triumph over one of the deadliest killers in the galaxy?

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Here's another Star Wars spinoff novel, a brisk and extremely uncomplicated action-adventure romp set on planet Coruscant immediately before the events of The Phantom Menace. After a few setting-up exercises, it's essentially a prolonged chase sequence whose implacable pursuer is Darth Maul--the almost absurdly villainous-looking Sith Lord with the biggest lightsaber and worst makeup job in the entire saga to date.

The plot? Insidiously evil Darth Sidious is poised to launch the Naboo trade blockade featured in The Phantom Menace. But one of his alien henchmen has sneaked away to betray this scheme and must die. So must the traitor's contacts, smalltime crook Lorn Pavan and his uppity droid, I-Five. Likewise Darsha Assant, the female Jedi Knight apprentice who gets entangled with Pavan through either mind-boggling coincidence or the mysterious ways of the Force.

Michael Reaves makes a reasonably slick job of all this nonsense and is not afraid of clichés. Plenty of characters have wooden lines like "I've got a bad feeling about this," and "Too many questions, and not enough answers." Meanwhile in the Jedi council, Yoda makes characteristic remarks: "A good choice he would be... No accident this was."

Unfortunately, the well-known story line of The Phantom Menace defuses suspense in Shadow Hunter. That trade blockade has to happen despite the good folks' doomed heroics, and horrible Darth Maul (already far more powerful and deadly than the puny opposition he faces here) is fated to win out. This novel is for dedicated fans only. --David Langford

Review

"FULL OF LIGHTSABER BATTLES, THE JEDI PHILOSOPHY, AND LOTS OF NEW LIFE-FORMS."
--Chicago Sun-Times

"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

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

Space is the perfect place to hide.

The Neimoidian freighter Saak’ak cruised ponderously in the uncharted deeps of Wild Space. It displayed its colors proudly, its cloaking device disabled, with no fear of detection. Here, parsecs away from the civilized Galactic Core and its surrounding systems, it could safely hide in plain sight. Even the Neimoidians, those past masters of paranoia, felt secure in the vast endless abyss between the disk and one of the spiral arms.

Yet even here the leaders of the Trade Federation could not entirely let go of their natural tendency toward subterfuge. They sought duplicity and guile the way a young grub seeks the safety and warmth of its sleeping niche in the communal hive. The Saak’ak was a good example of this. It was, to all appearances, merely a commercial vessel, its horseshoe shape designed to carry large amounts of cargo. Not until an unwary enemy had come within firing range would the heavy durasteel armor plating, blaster turrets, and military-strength communications arrays become visible.

By which time, of course, it would be too late.

Aboard the Saak’ak’s bridge all was silent save for the muted beeps and chimes of various life-support monitors and the almost inaudible susurrus of the air filtration system. Three figures stood to one side of the huge transparisteel viewport. They wore the flowing robes and mantles of the Neimoidian aristocracy, but their body language, as a fourth figure appeared in their midst, was deferential, if not outright cringing and servile.

The fourth figure was not really there with them in any physical sense. The robed and hooded form was a holograph, a three-dimensional image projected from an unknown source light-years distant. Intangible and immaterial, the mysterious stooped image nevertheless dominated the three Neimoidians. Indeed, they could not have been any more thoroughly cowed had he been physically present with a blaster in each hand.

The figure’s face—what little was visible of it in the shadows of the hood—was grim and unforgiving. The cowled head moved slightly as he looked at each of the Neimoidians in turn. Then the figure spoke, his voice a dry rasp, his tone that of one accustomed to instant obedience.

“There are only three of you.”

The tallest of the three, the one wearing the triple-crested tiara of a viceroy, responded in a stammering voice. “Th-that is true, Lord Sidious.”

“I see you, Gunray, and your lackeys Haako and Dofine. Where is the fourth one? Where is Monchar?”

Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray clasped his hands in front of him in what was not so much a supplicating gesture as an attempt to keep them from nervously wringing each other. He had hoped he would grow used to dealing with the Sith Lord over time, but so far that had not happened. If anything, these meetings with Darth Sidious had become even more gut-twisting and upsetting as the deadline for the embargo grew ever closer. Gunray did not know how his seconds in command, Daultay Dofine and Rune Haako, felt—discussing one’s feelings was anathema in Neimoidian society—but he knew how he felt after each encounter with the Sith Lord. He felt like squirming back into his hive mother’s birth chamber and pulling the cloacal flap in after him.

Especially now. Curse Hath Monchar! Where was the misbegotten rankweed sucker? Not on board the Saak’ak, that much was certain. The ship had been searched from the center sphere to the air locks at the outmost ends of each docking bay arm. Not only was his deputy viceroy nowhere to be found, but a scout vessel with hyperdrive capability was missing, as well. Put these two facts together, and the chances of Viceroy Gunray winding up as fodder for one of the fungus farms back on Neimoidia was beginning to look distressingly good.

The holographic image of Darth Sidious flickered slightly, then regained its none-too-stable resolution. A glitch, most likely caused by some solar flare on a star between here and whatever mysterious world the signal was originating from. Not for the first time Gunray found himself wondering on what world or ship the real Sith was standing, and not for the first time he flinched hastily away from the thought. He didn’t want to know too much about the Neimoidians’ ally in this undertaking. In fact, he wished he could forget what little he already knew. Collaborating with Darth Sidious was about as safe as being trapped in a cave on Tatooine with a hungry krayt dragon.

The hooded face turned to glare directly at him. “Well?” Sidious demanded.

Even as he opened his mouth, Gunray knew that it would be futile to lie. The Sith Lord was a master of the Force, that mysterious and pervasive energy field that, some said, knitted the galaxy together just as surely as did gravity. Sidious might not be able to read another’s inmost thoughts, but he certainly could tell when someone was lying. Even knowing that, however, the Neimoidian could no more stop himself from dissimulating than he could stop his sweat ducts from oozing oily perspiration down the back of his neck.

“He was taken ill, my lord. Too much rich food. He—he has a delicate constitution.” Gunray closed his mouth, keeping his lips firmly pressed together to stop them from trembling. Inwardly he cursed himself. Such a pathetic and obvious prevarication; even a Gamorrean would be able to see through it! He waited for Sidious to command Haako and Dofine to turn on him, to strip him of his vestments and rank. He had no doubt that they would do it. For the Neimoidians, one of the most difficult concepts to understand in the galactic lexicon of Basic was the word loyalty.

However, to his astonishment, Sidious merely nodded instead of showering him with vituperation. “I see. Very well, then—the four of us shall discuss the contingency plans should the trade embargo fail. Monchar can be briefed on them when he recovers.” The Sith Lord continued speaking, describing his plan to hide a large secret army of battle droids in the cargo bays of the trade ships, but Gunray could hardly pay attention to the specifics. He was stunned that his desperate ruse had worked.

The viceroy’s relief was short-lived, however. He knew that at best all he had done was buy some time, and not much of that. When Sidious’s hologram again materialized on the bridge of the Saak’ak he would once more demand to know where Monchar was—and this time he would not accept illness as an excuse.

There were no two ways about it—his errant lieutenant would have to be found, and quickly. But how to do this without arousing Sidious’s suspicions? Gunray felt certain at times that the Sith Lord was somehow able to peer into every compartment, niche, and cubicle on the freighter, that he knew everything, no matter how trivial or inconsequential, that took place on board.

The viceroy silently commanded himself to maintain control. He took advantage of Sidious’s attention being momentarily focused on Haako and Dofine to surreptitiously slip an antistress capsule between his lips. He could feel his lung pods expanding and contracting convulsively within him, on the verge of hyperventilation. An old saying characterized Neimoidians as the only sentient species with an entire organ devoted solely to the task of worrying. As Nute Gunray felt the anxiety that had been momentarily quelled threatening to build up once more in his gut sac, the adage did seem to have an unpleasant ring of truth to it.

Darth Sidious, Master of the Sith, finished relaying his instructions to the Neimoidians and made a slight, almost negligent gesture. Across the room a relay clicked and the holographic transmission ended. The flickering blue-white images of the Neimoidians and the section of their ship’s bridge captured by the split-beam transceivers vanished.

Sidious stood motionless and silent on the transmission grid, his fingers steepled, his mind meditating on the eddies and currents of the Force. Those of lesser sensitivity were oblivious to it, but to him it was like an omnipresent mist, invisible but nonetheless tangible, that swirled and drifted constantly about him. No words, no descriptions could begin to convey what it was like; the only way to understand it was to experience it.

He had learned over long years of study and meditation how to interpret each and every vagary of its restless flow, no matter how slight. Even without that ability, however, he would have known that Nute Gunray was lying about Hath Monchar’s whereabouts. An old joke about the viceroy’s kind summed it up nicely:

How can you tell if a Neimoidian is lying?

His mouth is open.

Michael Reaves Composes A Savage Sith Testament To Palpatine's Apprentice, The Brutal Darth Maul.

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

When compared with the other major Sith villains in the Star Wars movie timeline : Darth Vader, Sheev Palpatine, even Count Dooku, the character of Darth Maul seems to be on the more difficult side to effectively implement into a novel format, because he doesn't seem to get the lead roles in them very often. Were I to venture an educated guess it would be due to the fact that Maul's personality makes writing from his perspective somewhat difficult & because the functions Sidious employs him for & the nature of his work are extremely singular in nature. It's probably hard to create a compelling narrative around a character the way Maul's is structured.

'Darth Maul : Shadow Hunter' by Michael Reaves is among the very few Star Wars novels to my knowledge which dedicate themselves to Maul's character, specifically. The plot occurs exclusively on the planet Coruscant with its place in the Star Wars timeline being shortly before the events of The Phantom Menace. Information concerning the impending embargo by the Galactic Trade Federation on the planet Naboo falls into the hands of an information broker & Sidious tasks Maul to eliminate the threat of it becoming common knowledge prior to the Federation's forces being deployed to make their operation successful. The events in this book coincide with those of other Star Wars novels to provide a sense of cohesion for veteran readers of Star Wars fiction. 'Cloak of Deception' & 'Darth Plagueis', both authored by James Luceno feature events that tie in to those of 'Saboteur'.

I always thought that the movies don't really spend enough time going into details regarding the nature of not only the Galactic Trade Federation but why precisely the Neimoidians play such a prominent role in the organization's leadership. Novels like Luceno's & this one serve in scratching that itch. The Federation's informal & clandestine quasi-criminal structure render their powerbase residing more in economic monopoly & strongarm tactics executed by criminal organizations under their protection as opposed to overtly brute military force. And whatever the gangs & syndicates can't handle, the Sith most assuredly can. Maul's chapters in the book are well-written, his singular motives are executing his orders, completing his mission & pleasing Sidious. In combat, Maul is an uncaged beast, gorging himself on vanquishing his enemies in the most overwhelming fashion he can possibly achieve, which he does. It's a plotline that's fairly straightforward, which works for Maul's character in my opinion. He's unique among the Sith, because for what Sidious utilizes him for, Maul lives his life in ignorance of so many truths his Master withholds from him. He has no knowledge whatsoever of Plagueis even existing, & Maul's role as a Sith enforcer & assassin makes any civilian interaction with him almost impossible due to Maul terrifying anyone he comes into contact with. But nonetheless the story is very well-composed & immensely enjoyable.

Also included are two short stories by fellow Sith-author James Luceno, 'Darth Maul : Saboteur' & 'Darth Maul : Restraint' both feature Maul at different points in his life, 'Restraint' actually occurs when Maul is but fifteen years old, 'Saboteur' takes place on Dorvalla, involving the brutal strategy masterminded by Sidious & Plagueis to further the ends of the Trade Federation, they subvert & manipulate two rival mining organizations, InterGalactic & Lomite Limited, pitting them against a criminal enterprise ran by a clan of pirates. The plotline of 'Saboteur' is SO masterfully done, it's barely fifty pages in length but the way Luceno writes it is utterly superb. For such a short novella I just can't say how impressed I was by it. It also fleshes out various portions of 'Cloak of Deception' which only adds to 'Saboteur's overall luster. There are two corporations, InterGalactic & Lomite Limited, both in heavy competition to acquire a mining contract with up-and-coming planetary neighbor Eriadu. They both utilize a third party, a syndicate operating on Dorvalla for sabotage & eliminate of the other's assets as they transport ore to their respective business partners. Maul, without giving plot details away, engages in activity that is both chilling & disturbing to say the least. In any event, it's a wonderful read.

I'd absolutely recommend 'Darth Maul : Shadow Hunter' by Michael Reaves to anyone who enjoys Star Wars, the Sith, or Darth Maul's character. With the two short stories accompanying the main narrative, the overall value of your purchase make the question of buying this book the easiest decision you will ever make.

I hope you enjoyed the review, thanks for reading !

A fun read for any Star Wars fan, but don't expect to learn much about Darth Maul as a character

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

While fun to read, this book sadly writes Darth Maul into the same framing as The Phantom Menace: a 1-dimensional character that is a sidelined to the "more important" characters that the book follows.

This book is full of the geeky "Star Wars" things that I love, and is not just another part of the expanded universe with no tie in to anything common / from the movies. There's plenty of cameo appearances, including Obi-wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Yoda, Qui Gon Jinn and others. There are cheeky referenced to THX-1138 and an "i have a bad feeling about this" utterance, and more.

The core of the book explores a part of Coruscant that is rarely seen, at and below the surface level of the mega-city planet. In the depths are found beings and creatures of myth and legend, which prove to be an entertaining part of the story on their own.

The character development outside of Darth Maul was also well done. I enjoyed seeing the characters change over time, and the way they worked together evolving. The relationships between the individuals was about as real-world as can be imagined in the short time period in which this book takes place.

The writing style of the book was easy to read and engaging, though not outstanding or "can't put it down" quality. It was the story and the continued hope that there would be more focus on Darth Maul directly that kept me coming back.

Sadly, the book left me with a sense of loss when it came to Darth Maul... while the name of the book and the action that takes place are largely credited to Darth Maul, the story itself puts him in second place as a side story to help move the action along at key points. There are a few points in which Darth Maul's character is revealed slightly... but over-all, he is very 1 dimensional in this book.

...

The Kindle edition that I purchased included the "Restraint" Darth Maul short story, which I thought was excellent, well written and much to my relief, focused on Darth Maul as a person and his growth as a warrior. This short story, which follows after the core content of the book, was highly engaging, very energetic and showed a side of Darth Maul that I had not yet seen - his teenage years spent at the end of his time on Orsis. The short story starts with a fast pace and does not stop until it's done.

...

The kindle version I purchased also included The "Saboteur" short story which I had previously read and reviewed. If I had known this book included it, I would not have purchased it separately. However, you should know that you need to read Saboteur first otherwise the main story here is out of order.

...

The tie in to the Darth Plageuis book is well done from both the main story and from the Restraint and Saboteur short stories, on several fronts. I am glad I read Darth Plageuis for this reason. All of the stories in this book make sense on their own, but having read Darth Plageuis (in spite of my opinion about that book) made these stories more enjoyable for me as I was able to insert various events surrounding these stories in my mind.

Just starting to get into Legands and had finished the first Thrawn trilogy. I purchased the Kindle version of and also the Audible version. (Btw- found out the two platforms sync, which is nice bc I tend to go back and forth between reading and listening.)

Great story- Maul is my favorite character and the author did a great job writing for him. Sam Witwer reads the audiobook, which was a definite plus. The author all and all could have left out the love story, which was kind of an odd juxtaposition to the plot, but the rest of the story was a good read. I wish there was more Maul content out there, especially by this author.
