About this listen

New York Times best seller

For the infamous, power-hungry Sith, beholden to the dark side, the time has come to rise again.

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?

This special edition features an all-new Darth Maul short story as well as “Star Wars:® Darth Maul: Saboteur” - both written by New York Times best-selling author James Luceno!

Critic reviews

"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." (Winston-Salem Journal)

There’s a universality to the Star Wars franchise, a world so sprawling that no matter who you are, you’re bound to find something—an adventure, a moment, a character—that resonates with you. And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

No regrets

Definitely could have been better, not that it was horrible. Sound effects were a little too much. Was hoping it would have centered more around maul. The side story wasn't bad though.

Not the best narration.

The narration left much to be desired. Were it not a Star Wars story i may not have finished.

Great story, bad Narrarator.

great story
terrible presentaion.
the narrator delivers this story like he was reading testamony.
next time use Johnathan Davis who uses different voices for different charactors, and emulates the charactors excitement and mood.
Micheal Cumpsty made this story very hard to enjoy and follow. i listened to it 5 times before i could wrap my thoughts around it. I had to envision every charactor and emagine how i would have read it in order to absorb and enjoy the story.

Ahhhh...ghosts of Star Wars past...

An excellent book. Any true fans of Star Wars can appreciate it. Totally recommend it.

Even though it's short...we kinda gotta scrape and scrap for all we can since Disney is doing less than well with their direction(s). Take care.

Make way for the Bad Guy...

Would you listen to Star Wars again? Why?

Yes, if they featured a character as interesting as Darth Maul.

What other book might you compare Star Wars to and why?

Stainless Steel Rat Series by Harry Harrison - thye are both Science Fiction action adventure.

Which character – as performed by Michael Cumpsty – was your favorite?

Darth Maul (of course!)

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The DARK Force is strong in this one.

Any additional comments?

I wish they had included the short 52 page story that was in the paper back version: Darth Maul: Saboteur by James Luceno. I felt let down when it wasn't part of the audio version.

More Maul please!

Darth Maul Shadow Hunter

I my opinion this is a prequel to Phantom Menace.
It is an interesting story that involves Darth Maul.
It has a good narrative and had some information I did not know about. Check it out when you can.
Random thought is Jack the youngling that Aniken first killed? In Revenge of the sith?
