Though this book isn't considered "canon", it still has interesting characters and a compelling storyline. For people like myself who were more fans of the movies, it "fleshes out" the Star Wars Universe. Definitely a recommended read!

I love Star wars books and this book tells the tales that are not shown in the movies. Great book to read and enjoy.
Michael Reaves' book Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter is a softcover book that was released by Del Rey books in 2001. Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter follows the story of Darth Maul on the hunt to stem the flow of information. A Neidomodean who is part of Nute Gunray's personal staff decides to skip out and sell information about the impending blockade of Naboo. Darth Sidious decides to send Maul on the hunt for this traitor to their cause. Along the way the information seems to be passed along and Maul must go on a hunt to kill all that have knowledge of the blockade. The book is decent that it accomplishes the main goal of showing another side of Maul. You learn that he is more then just a monster as shown in Episode 1 and that he can think! However, I find the book to be a bit slow and plodding. The entire trip through the "underdark" and the battles with the Theozin were far fetched. It was almost like we need a monster here, let's try inventing this! *blah* The entire Obi-Wan appearance is basically there so that you can see another recognizable character from the movies. Useless waste as he just goes wandering around "looking" at the aftermath of Maul's chase. Hardcore fans will enjoy this book, but if you decide to skip it you will not miss anything. 3/5 Latsyrhc Tamarack CollectiblesRead full review
