Books New Novel! Maul: Lockdown by Joe Schreiber

Well this is disappointing. I was expecting something more...
Anyway as the one that created the thread is it possible for me to edit the title or do one on the mods have to do it?

 

Though I've said before that the audiobook's sound effects may have had a lot to do with it, I actually quite enjoyed Schreiber's books in a campy b-rate kind of way. So given Maul's whole return storyline is the stuff of campy b-movie storylines, this could actually prove to be a logical author-topic combination.

Still hardly a story I'm exactly jumping up and down with joy about, but hopefully it'll be okay. Don't understand why they hyped up what is a very minor novel though.

I did the very same.

Fun a Darth Maul novel might be. Darth Plagueis it certainly is not.

 

Well that was underwhelming

 

I'm out!

 

Another Schreiber novel. Not a bad idea and plot sounds somewhat interesting. I am easy going about this so I will read it regardless of my disinterest in it. I guess I got caught up in all of the hype and speculation and expected something insanely incredible.
BTW if the idea for Kemp's duology is a continuation of Maul's story in the Clone Wars, I will be ticked.

 

We got your info for you. Whether or not you are excited for it is up to you

 

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. My only expectation for it is to be a fun action book. Most likely a bit cheesy, but probably not any more than the original TCW episodes.

It's worth noting that, while we may find this book to be somewhat minor, it's one the average person who watches TCW can probably get very excited about.

 

It's not an encouraging thing to see that the only book to get a blue light since the Disney buyout is a TCW tie in.

 

Wasn't expecting this, but I am excited. Hope it is good overall, and I hope that it is longer than Red Harvest. A little dissaponted too because I was hoping Joe Schreiber, if he did another, would be a sequel to Death Troopers set somewhere from the NJO-post FotJ featuring the zombie shi being found once more. Will give this a read at some point.

 

A NJO horror story would be amazing

 

Hardcover?

Really?

 

This will be interesting to see a non-horror Schrieber novel. Unless we misunderstand the article, and it's from the viewpoint of some prisoners as Maul slaughters them all.

Also, guys, this isn't TCW tie-in. It's set before TPM. Just FYI.

(Also, that's a lot of abbreviations )

 

I'm curious, did Red Harvest not break the New York Times Bestsellers list? Just wondering due to the cover saying best selling author of Death Troopers, rather than Red Harvest.

 

Is there an official position where somebody sits in on every Star Wars planning meeting as just says "You know what we need more of? Darth Maul!"?

 

Probably, because people can't seem to get enough of Maul. People keep saying how DC/Marvel comics are copying 90's trends, so Lucasfilms must have just jumped in too and done the whole late 90's Maul trend.

 

I wanted more Maul back in the late 90's, early 2000's

 

When he was dead, you mean.

 

When the hype was highest about him.

 

[That guy]But he never died.[/that guy]

 

Which was over ten year before he was alive again.

 

I said it in the other thread, but this book is going to be an 80s action movie.

Seriously, read the blurb, it's ridiculous. Maul is going into the worst prison in the galaxy to compete in gladiatorial death matches?

I'm pretty sure I saw that one, Van Damme was in it.

I've already decided to buy it. If Maul does the splits and/or does a bunch of spin kicks I'm going to lose my flipping mind.

 

I was trying to be a bit of a smart-butt with your post since info came out a couple of hours after your post. More info is definitely required. I had hoped a Dooku novel would have been next and not this. It could work but I'm an optimist about books, though I probably shouldn't after everything we have gotten the past couple years. Unless Maul completely destroys the prison before TPM I would expect that it might show up in TWC series.
