The official Star Wars Books Facebook Page has released a new micro excerpt from Joe Schreiber's upcoming novel Star Wars: Maul: Lockdown. The novel is set prior to the events of The Phantom Menace and features Darth Maul sent of a dangerous mission by Darth Sidious and Darth Plagueis. The novel will hit shelves on January 28th, 2014.
Check out the micro excerpt below:
For a moment Smight wasn’t sure whether what he was seeing was real or a side effect of the stim. Eight meters in front of him, the mountainous shape of his employer had already come into focus to fill the entire corner of the ready room. Smight gaped as Jabba Desilijic Tiure shifted his enormous tail, gazing out at the audience that awaited him.
“Hello, Jabba,” Sadiki said. “I appreciate you making time in your busy schedule for me.”
“Sadiki Blirr.” The crime lord’s mouth opened just enough for him to run his tongue along his upper lip with a lascivious sneer. “You know, if you ever get tired of running that prison, I would be happy to make you one of my slave girls.”
“Such a generous offer.” She remained absolutely composed, even congenial, before him. “Unfortunately, I’ll have to decline for now.”
“To what do I owe the honor?”
“Ah, well.” Sadiki gestured at the guards who had come to abrupt attention behind her, including Smight himself. “I believe I have some of your people here.”
