Star Wars: Maul: Lockdown

The follow-up to Star Wars: Darth Plagueis is a Darth Maul prison novel set before 
the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.

JOE SCHREIBER is the author of Star Wars: Death Troopers, Star Wars: Red Harvest, 
Chasing the Dead, and Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick. He was born in Michigan but 
spent his formative years in Alaska, Wyoming, and northern California. Until recently, he 
had never lived at the same address for longer than a year. He lives in central 
Pennsylvania with his wife and two children.

From the mind of Joe Schreiber, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: 
Death Troopers, comes the delirious follow-up to last year's Darth Plagueis. In a tale of 
retribution and survival set before the events of The Phantom Menace, Darth Plagueis 
and Darth Sidious dispatch Sith apprentice Darth Maul on a secret mission to infiltrate a 
criminal empire operating from inside Cog Hive Seven--a hidden prison teeming with the 
galaxy's most savage criminals. There, he must contend against the scummiest and 
most villainous in gladiatorial death matches while carrying out his masters' clandestine 
commands. Failure is not an option; success will ignite the revenge of the Sith against 
the Jedi Order.

Star Wars: Red Harvest

Following Star Wars: Death Troopers, this is an original tale of horror set in the Star Wars universe.

The era of the Old Republic is a dark and dangerous time, as Jedi Knights valiantly battle the Sith Lords and their ruthless armies. But the Sith have disturbing plans – and none more so than the fulfilment of Darth Scabrous’s fanatical dream, which is about to become nightmarish reality. 
 
Unlike those other Jedi sidelined to the Agricultural Corps – young Jedi whose abilities have not proved up to snuff – Hestizo Trace possesses one extraordinary Force talent: a gift with plants. Suddenly her quiet existence among greenhouse and garden specimens is violently destroyed by the arrival of an emissary from Darth Scabrous. For the rare black orchid that she has nurtured and bonded with is the final ingredient in an ancient Sith formula that promises to grant Darth Scabrous his greatest desire. 
 
But at the heart of the formula is a never-before-seen virus that’s worse than fatal – it doesn’t just kill, it transforms. Now the rotting, ravenous dead are rising, driven by a bloodthirsty hunger for all things living –and commanded by a Sith Master with an insatiable lust for power and the ultimate prize: immortality… no matter the cost.

Brilliant . . . This book combines two of my favorite things on earth: the Star Wars universe and the undead.

When the Imperial prison barge Purge-temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy's most ruthless killers, Rebels, scoundrels, and thieves-breaks down in a distant part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back-bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours, nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine. 
 
And death is only the beginning. 
 
The Purge's half-dozen survivors will do whatever it takes to stay alive. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer. For the dead are rising: soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.
