(More customer reviews)Written by Paul Davids and Hollace Davids, Star Wars: Book One proves to be an exciting collection of three short stories beginning with The Glove Of Darth Vader, followed by The Lost City Of The Jedi and concluding with Zorba The Hutt's Revenge. With cover art wonderfully created by Drew Struzan and published by Barnes and Nobles this hardcover book with built in dust cover will bring enjoyment to all Star Wars fans. Given the book is written in three parts I will continue my review in the same way.
The Glove Of Darth Vader: Set 5ABY within the New Republic Era the Glove of Vader introduces a handful of exciting new characters that literally grab the reader by the throat and don't let go. Set against the long forgotten last creation of Emperor Palpatine, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker must find a way to combat the new galactic enemy before he can become an even more powerful foe. Aided by our beloved C3PO and R2D2 and joined by Admiral Ackbar himself the group plunges to the deepest parts of Calamari in order to save a defenseless species from extinction. Along the way the agents of good will fight the evil forces leaving the reader to wonder if they will succeed in time.
Continuing where The Glove of Darth Vader leaves off The Lost City of the Jedi tells the tale of how the power hungry appointed leader, Trioculus must seek approval from the dark powers that be. Gaining the knowledge of his future as a leader Trioculus also learns that his fate does not lie with his own evil prowess but that of a twelve year old boy raised in the Lost City of the Jedi. Faced with his demise and failing health the evil Lord pursues those who could destroy him. During a key battle Trioculus discovers a rebel alliance member he plans to share leadership of the galactic empire with. An action packed story that tells the time old tale of good Vs. evil and the morality of man.
Concluding the series in spectacular form Paul and Hollace Davids bring back old story threads from episode 4-6 and intertwine them with new characters. After freeing himself from his Jedi created city young Ken sets out to explore the galaxy and with help from his new mentor he becomes one with his inner strength. Meanwhile, the evil Lord Trioculus continues his evil conquest and pursues his lustful thirst for his future queen. After a series of separate character threads the authors bring all characters together at the end and give the reader an action packed conclusion that will leave them wanting more.
This book is written for the younger Star Wars audience and lacks filler(internal character thoughts, conflicts and deductive reasoning skills) found in most full length novels. The story is a fun romp through the galaxy and exposes us to new characters along with a refreshing view of those we have known from a long time ago. A very good book that Star Wars fans will love if cantor is set aside.
ALL FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED. THANKS AND GOOD READING.
