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

After years of waiting in the shadows, Darth Sidious is taking the first step in his expert plan to bring the Republic to its knees. Essential to his scheme will be the Neimoidians of the Trade Federation. The other of his Neimoidian connections disappears, and Sidious does not need his Force-honed instincts to believe betrayal. He purchases his apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt the about Star Wars: Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter traitor down.

But he’s too late. The trick has already transferred into the hands of details broker Lorn Pavan, which areas him right near the top of Darth Maul’s hit list. Then, in the labyrinthine alleyways and sewers of Coruscant, capital town of the Republic, Lorn crosses paths with Darsha Assant, a Jedi Padawan on a mission to generate her Knighthood. Right now the future of the Republic depends upon Darsha and Lorn. But how do an untried Jedi and a typical man, stranger to the powerful means of the Drive, hope to triumph over among 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 compiled by New York Times bestselling author James Luceno!
