Review Shadow Hunter (Star Wars: Darth Maul) / Random House Audiobooks:Here's another Star Wars spin-off novel, a brisk and extremely uncomplicated action-adventure romp set on planet Coruscant immediately before the events of The Phantom Menace. After a few setting-up exercises, it's essentially a prolonged chase sequence whose implacable pursuer is Darth Maul-the almost absurdly villainous-looking Sith Lord with the biggest light sabre and worst make-up job in the entire saga to date. The plot? Insidiously evil Darth Sidious is poised to launch the Naboo trade blockade featured in The Phantom Menace. But one of his alien henchmen has sneaked away to betray this scheme, and must die. So must the traitor's contacts, small-time crook Lorn Pavan and his uppity droid I-Five. Likewise Darsha Assant, the female Jedi Knight apprentice who gets entangled with Pavan through either mind-boggling coincidence or the mysterious ways of the Force. Michael Reaves makes a reasonably slick job of all this nonsense, and is not afraid of clichés. "I've got a bad feeling about this", people say. "Too many questions, and not enough answers". Meanwhile in the Jedi council, Yoda makes characteristic remarks: "A good choice he would be. [+]No accident this was". Yoda's style to imitate, shooting fish in a barrel is. Unfortunately, the well-known storyline of The Phantom Menace defuses suspense in Shadow Hunter. That trade blockade has to happen despite the good folks' doomed heroics, and horrible Darth Maul (already far more powerful and deadly than the puny opposition he faces here) is fated to win through. For dedicated fans only. -David Langford.

Review The Colour of Magic: Complete & Unabridged (Discworld Novel) / ISIS Gold Audio Books:The Colour of Magic is Terry Pratchett's maiden voyage through the bizarre land of Discworld. His entertaining and witty series has grown to more than 20 books, and this is where it all starts-with the tourist Twoflower and his hapless wizard guide, Rincewind ("All wizards get like that. it's the quicksilver fumes. Rots their brains. Mushrooms, too. "). Pratchett spoofs fantasy clichés-and everything else he can think of-while marshalling a profusion of characters through a madcap adventure. The Colour of Magic is followed by The Light Fantastic. [+]-Blaise Selby, Amazon. com.

Review Small Gods / ISIS Audio Books:Discworld is an extragavanza-among much else, it has billions of gods. "They swarm as thick as herring roe," writes Terry Pratchett in Small Gods, the 13th book in the series. Where there are gods galore, there are priests, high and low, and. there are novices. Brutha is a novice with little chance to become a priest-thinking does not come easily to him, although believing does. But it is to Brutha that the great god Om manifests, in the lowly form of a tortoise.
