About this listen

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

Narrated by Darth Maul himself!

Sam Witwer (narrator) did such an amazing job with the different voices, and really sold the dramatic story telling. Not to mention he’s the official Darth Maul voice actor in Rebels, Clone Wars, and Solo. It was also very cool to sometime hear the voice of Starkiller from the Force Unleashed games. (Also voiced and designed from Sam Witwer)

Sam Witwer kills it!

I never get tired of hearing Sam’s Darth Maul or voice. People complain about the laughing and grunting but it’s really not even bad. Another legends book I’m glad to see come to life!

Sam Witwer is Amazing

I’m so glad this exists and hearing the official voice actor for Maul and Sidious was a treat. His Qui-Gon impression was also spot on.

Narration captured the mood perfectly.

Any other narrator would have failed this...save for maybe Marc. Witwer, being the V.A. for Maul in The Clone Wars makes it perfect though. His narration made me "SEE" Maul and feel his hubris and hate.

The story was almost perfect. Reaves gives us a great look into the underbelly of Corusant. Easy to follow and nice linear POV sections. The ending is the only thing that makes it a 4/5 for me was predictable ... but honestly... how else was that supposed to transpire? I would have liked to see the reluctant protagonist get a story plot synopsis at the end from the man himself, but rarely is an ending perfect.

Money well spent

A perfect bad guy with the legendary voice at the helm. Sam is incredible with a story of perseverance and making heroes in a time of hopelessness

A wonderful story

This was well thought out and put together. A wonderful listen, especially with Sam. Cannot wait for future titles. Maul is my favorite Sith.
