Amazon.co.uk Review
The plot? Insidiously evil Darth Sidious is poised to launch the Naboo trade blockade featured in The Phantom Menace. But one of his alien henchmen has sneaked away to betray this scheme, and must die. So must the traitor's contacts, small-time crook Lorn Pavan and his uppity droid I-Five. Likewise Darsha Assant, the female Jedi Knight apprentice who gets entangled with Pavan through either mind-boggling coincidence or the mysterious ways of the Force.
Michael Reaves makes a reasonably slick job of all this nonsense, and is not afraid of clichés. "I've got a bad feeling about this", people say. "Too many questions, and not enough answers". Meanwhile in the Jedi council, Yoda makes characteristic remarks: "A good choice he would be ... No accident this was". Yoda's style to imitate, shooting fish in a barrel is.
Unfortunately, the well-known storyline of The Phantom Menace defuses suspense in Shadow Hunter. That trade blockade has to happen despite the good folks' doomed heroics, and horrible Darth Maul (already far more powerful and deadly than the puny opposition he faces here) is fated to win through. For dedicated fans only. --David Langford --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This book takes place in the dark underbelly of Coruscant before the creation of the empire (obviously) and I think shows the under belly in all its twisted nastyness, even if some of the reasons characters end up there is rather flawed (Darsha). It gives an almost Blade Runneresque feel to the novel in the prolonged chase sequences. With some very plausable characters, I just wish there had been more interaction with them but that would have made the book longer than I suppose they wanted it.
I also found the ending to be rather nice thou I won't say anymore as I don't want to spoil it for you... If you love Starwars and esp if you like the Darkside of the force this book is brilliant.
One little thing that bugged me was at the begining of the book we got some of Darth Mauls feeling about the whole light/dark battle which were quite intresting then dropped and never mentioned agai *GRRR* I feel that if they had been developed it could have cast the whole Starwars universe in a slightly different light, nothing major but just a touch more realistic.
