Death Star (Star Wars) Paperback
Del Rey Books. November 2008. Death Star (Star Wars) Paperback
“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? 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.
