I've had the privilege of receiving advance reading copies of several upcoming Star Wars novels and permission to share my thoughts with readers. I will be posting exclusive reviews on Poli-Sci Jedi. Feel free to share, but if you do so please cite Poli-Sci Jedi as the source.This review is about Star Wars: Maul: Lockdown, due to be released on January 28. The book has been marketed as an adventure starring Maul and an interquel to Darth Plagueis. Enjoy!
Maul: Lockdown was a book I
anticipated with a mix of hope and dread. Maul is one of my favorite Prequel
characters and I was also excited to see Darth Plagueis again. However, Joe
Schreiber is best known to Star Wars fans for his Deathtrooper horror novels,
which might suggest that the book would be a shallow bloodfest. While Maul:
Lockdown isn’t a perfect Star Wars novel, I was relieved to find that it
succeeds more often than it fails.
