“Tarkin tells a compelling tale of mystery while revealing much
about a character who has fueled debate among fans since 1977, as
well as the oppressive regime he represents. [James] Luceno has
proven once again that the villains of Star Wars are as much fun as
the good guys.”—New York Daily News
“Another home run in the new canon . . . This is the highest and
best distillation of Tarkin stories, old and new, we’ve ever been
given.”—Big Shiny Robot
“A spectacular novel, with the intrigue, action, and profound
characterization we have come to expect from the pen of Luceno . .
. [Tarkin] provides a nuanced, multi-faceted anti-hero who is
captivating, ominous, and calculating; in many ways, this is an
origin tale of the Empire [and] a fascinating portrait of one of
the more popular characters in the Original Trilogy. It may very
well be one my favorite Star Wars novels.”—Coffee with Kenobi
“A fascinating look at the pathos of one of the galaxy’s most
criminally underused characters.”—TheForce.net
