I enjoyed this book. At first the amount of characters was a little overwhelming, and I'm not sure I 100% knew all of them by the end, but it was still a good story despite that. It was nice to see a familiar face from battle surgeons as well. 

I particularly enjoyed the snippets of Vader we got in this book, it felt faithful to his character. I also enjoyed the more day to day running of the death star we got to see.

sarabearian's review

Star Wars: Death Star written by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry is an extremely exciting read. If you enjoyed watching the original Star Wars movie trilogy then you must read this book. Star Wars: Death Star is a multi-character point of view adventure that focuses on the construction of the moon-sized Imperial military battle station armed with a planet-destroying super laser right up to this world-killing satellite’s destruction. The best element of this tale is that you finally get to read about Darth Vader’s reaction when he encounters his former mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his daughter, Leia Organa! Star Wars: Death Star is a very clever and creative novel that enhances the story of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. -- Leslie G.

I had no idea what to expect about this one but ended up really enjoying meeting some of the characters who lived and worked on the Death Star. The ending, which tied directly into Star Wars Episode 4, was suitably tense and exciting and had a satisfying end that made the journey worthwhile.

Nice "slice of life" for people who just happened to be assigned to Death Star. Doctor, librarian, architect, bartender, etc...

Great book, shadows and features the characters (minor and major) and scenes from Star Wars Episode 3.

Pretty mediocre characters. Lots of filler without any large conflict for the main characters, beside we all know the ending anyways. A behind the scenes of the construction and characters of the first death star. A few of the memorable moments from IV make it into the brief chapters which is fun, but nothing more. Not the worst Star Wars book I've read, but by no means the caliber of Zahn or Traviss.
