Product Description:
“THAT’S NO MOON.”
–Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Death Star’s name says it all, with bone-chilling accuracy. It is a virtual world unto itself–equipped with uncanny power for a singularly brutal purpose: to obliterate entire planets in the blink of an eye. Its annihilation of the planet Alderaan, at the merciless command of Grand Moff Tarkin, lives in infamy. And its own ultimate destruction, at the hands of Luke Skywalker, is the stuff of legend. But what is the whole story, and who are the players, behind the creation of this world-killing satellite of doom?
The near extermination of the Jedi order cleared the way for Palpatine–power-hungry Senator and Sith Lord–to seize control of the Republic, declare himself Emperor, and usher in a fearsome, totalitarian regime. But even with the dreaded Darth Vader enforcing Palpatine’s sinister will, the threat of rebellion still looms. And the Emperor knows that only abject fear–and the ability to punish dissent with devastating consequences–can ensure his unchallenged control of the galaxy. Enter ambitious and ruthless government official Wilhuff Tarkin, architect of the Emperor’s terrifying dream come true.
From inception to completion, construction of the unprecedented Death Star is awash in the intrigues, hidden agendas, unexpected revelations, and daring gambits of those involved on every level. The brightest minds and boldest egos, the most ambitious and corrupt, the desperate and the devious, all have a stake in the Death Star–and its potential to control the fate of the galaxy.
Soldiers and slaves, loyalists and Rebels, spies and avengers, the innocent and the evil–all their paths and fates will cross and intertwine as the Death Star moves from its maiden voyage to its final showdown. And a shadowy chapter of Star Wars history is stunningly illuminated in a thrilling, unforgettable adventure.

It was nice to get some back stories about the Death Star, but at some points it seemed long winded. The last few chapters, IMHO seem a bit wacky to be considered cannon.

Very well written novel. A lot of character development early, however book was slow at times. Over all a good read. I enjoyed how the story mixed in with the movie (A New Hope). That was a nice touch. I look forward to future Reeves and Perry works!

The book was a good read and in good condition but it took almost six weeks to arrive after ordering which was long considering I paid for expedited delivery.

Death Star is an excellent book that I very much enjoyed. Our first exposure to the Death Star in the films is an extremely memorable moment that stays with the Star wars fan forever. That's no moon. The destruction of the Death Star is even more memorable and probably locked us all in as fans who wanted to see more. However, how many of us in those days actually thought about the Death Star as a space vehicle? How was it built? How many people worked on it? How was it possibly kept a secret? How ... Read More

A well written tale about the intersecting lives of people that live, work, and play aboard the Galaxy's most devastating weapon. There are some that gave this story one and two stars because, ick!, there's a couple of love stories intertwined amongst the TIE fighter battles and appearances of the Dark Lord of the Sith. But, that's sort of the whole point of the story. It's not as much to focus on all the whiz bang stuff as it is to look at the lives of people as they relate to what's going on ... Read More
