A review by rhganci
Death Star by Steve Perry, Michael Reaves

4.0

Just the book I needed to get myself reading Star Wars again—one with some solid tie-in to the movies. This book goes beyond that—it actually features lots of scenes from A New Hope in the second half of the book. It was, in a word, fantastic—easy to read, interesting, and relevant to the Star Wars mythos. I really liked the talk about the exhaust port being put in the Death Star for safety reasons, and the perspective of Vader as not-quite-human. Tarkin was surprisingly interesting and engaging, and it was easy to read. Reaves has to rank among my favorite Star Wars authors.
