"Did NOT live up to the hype that surrounded it. I was expecting...I don't know...to find out why the death star took 17 YEARS to build, maybe? Tales of sabotage and rebel-hunting, etc. No such luck, this one basically cuts straight to a few days (months? memory's hazy) before it goes live, covering the lives of a number of different inhabitants of the station. I would say the only coolness factor about this book was that it occasionally crops up in Episode IV in ways you hadn't thought of -- I remember watching it right after I read this and noticing things in the background from the book that I hadn't seen before. Otherwise, it was not particularly well-written."
"I pretty much skimmed through this book, as its a history of the Death Star as seen in the movies (and not the prototype from the books). Slight bonus in that one of my favorite Imperials (Daala) is in it. As for the Author, Michael Reaves, I know his writing style primarily from cartoons that he scripted (Dungeons and Dragons for example).
This is a stand alone book, and does fill in a little bit of the continuity, but I really wasn't impressed with it."
"Here it is the nutshell: No real clear and tight plot until the last third. Far too much character set up for a one shot novel. I'd have understood this much character stuff if it were part of a series.
It all came together in the last third. It's a fun, exiting and emotional ending actually but not worth the hard earned time getting there. There are so many better EU novels than this one. *waves hand* This isn't the book you're looking for. Move along.;)"
"Excellent book! Shows another side of the "evil" Death Star and those who manned the ship. There are always 2 sides to every story, and some people who work for a corrupt government are not evil themselves. The only problem I had with this book was becoming attached to the people in the book who you knew were going to be blown to smithereens at the end. I dreaded the end, although it wasn't as bad nor exactly what I had thought it would be.
Highly recommended for all Star Wars lovers. Who knew that Grand Moff Tarkin had a lover and a passionate side?????"
