Your review	I was excited by this book. How could I not be? A noir private eye story set on Coruscant? Unfortunately, what the front cover and the back cover text promised was not quite what was delivered. There was no detective story at all, just a hunt for a missing droid. And even that was carried out half-heartedly-- a lot of the time, the characters seemed to be wandering around aimlessly. But fortunately the characters are able to carry the book just fine-- there's a welcome return of a number of characters from Reaves's previous books (Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter and Clone Wars: MedStar), especially I-5YQ, and new character Jax Pavan is decent enough, too. Laranth Tarak, on the other hand, has an excellent introduction as a sparring partner/female counterpart for Jax... but after her first scene, she just stands there and shoots things. Reaves captures the seedy underbelly of Coruscant very well, though. It's a decent book, and I look forward to the next two in the trilogy, but Reaves could stand to kick it up a notch or two.
