Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the infamous, power-hungry Sith, beholden to the dark side, the time has come to rise again.

“Full of lightsaber battles, the Jedi philosophy, and lots of new life-forms.”—Chicago Sun-Times

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?

Critic reviews

“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

Lorn Pavan is a great character!

Excellent build up into the phantom menace. Lorn Pavan is a very memorable character for me, I really enjoyed his personality and bravery toward the end. All in all it is a fantastic story and the way Sam narrates it is amazing! 10/10

Sam Makes You Want To Join The Sith!

If you’re a fan of Star Wars and Maul in particular, this book is for you! Taking place right before the start of The Phantom Menace, this is an awesome story of how the sith manage to operate behind the curtain and under the noses of the Jedi.

I can’t stress enough how amazing the narration is! Sam Witwer is a storyteller who is second to none. and was the perfect choice (for obvious reasons ) to read this book. He embodies each character and voices them so well! Each character is given their own unique voice and you forget there is only one person telling the story, you would be forgiven for thinking there are multiple voice actors telling this tale.

I loved everything about this book and it never lets up, doesn’t slow down, and by the end of it, you will love both the heroes and the villains. May the force be with you…..
