- Star Wars (32 BBY): SHADOW HUNTER Part 1 of 2 - Darth Maul Trilogy, Vol. 3 (Unabridged AUDIOBOOK)
This hard to find audiobook has now been fully restored and remastered. This novel was not released in UNABRIDGED audiobook format to the general public, until the Essential Legends version was released in 2022, read by Sam Witwer - this audiobook is the original recording of the UNABRIDGED version.
Note: There was an ABRIDGED version released in 2007, read by Michael Cumpsty (3 hour, 14 minute length).
This is a slight departure from my current work organizing works chronologically from the Old Republic Era... expect me to be 100% focused on the Old Republic until every novel, novella, & short story has been organized and made available in audiobook format.

PART ONE
Story Line:
Darth Maul, merciless apprentice of evil and one of the legendary Sith, a twisted order given over to the dark side of the Force…Darth Maul, champion of the nefarious Sith Lord, Darth Sidious…Darth Maul, a legend sprung to life from the nightmares of history, about to be unleashed…in an all-new tale of intrigue and mystery set just before the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.
After years of waiting in the shadows, Darth Sidious is taking the first step in his master plan to bring the Republic to its knees. He meets secretly with his Neimoidian contacts in the Trade Federation to plan the blockade of the planet Naboo. But one member of the delegation is missing, and Sidious does not need his Force-honed instincts to suspect betrayal. He orders his apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt the traitor down.
On Coruscant, capital city of the Republic, the Neimoidian moves quickly to sell what he knows to the highest bidder. For Lorn Pavan, an information broker, the deal is too good to pass up. He grabs it, unaware that he has now earned a place on Darth Maul's hit list, right behind the Neimoidian defector himself.
Meanwhile, a young Jedi Padawan by the name of Darsha Assant stands on the verge of ascension to Jedi Knighthood. A single mission will be her test. But a greater test awaits her. For in the labyrinthine alleyways and sewers of Coruscant's own dark side, she will cross paths with Lorn, who is fleeing from the Sith stalker, carrying with him crucial information that must reach the Jedi Council at all costs.
The future of the Republic depends on Darsha and Lorn. But how can an untried Jedi and an ordinary man, stranger to the powerful ways of the Force, hope to triumph over one of the deadliest killers in the galaxy?

Enjoy!
Rest in peace, Michael Reaves. Thanks so much for the stories.
I'm only relatively new to Mchael Reaves but recently read the first Coruscant Nights book and first Medstar book and LOVED them! Halfway through Shadow Hunter now and I'm certain that Reaves is my favourite SW author now. His writing is so easy, exciting, imaginitive and feels really wholesome. I feel like I'm really in the SW universe when I read his books. RIP to him 🙌

This is my favorite channel on RUclips all of a sudden. Thank you for the hard work.
Thank you for the kind words... Let me. Know if the channel is ever not meeting your expectations
This was the first audio book I ever listened too, on cassette tape from my local library. I didnt even know audiobooks were a thing until I found this on the shelf, opened the box and saw the tapes inside. Hearing the story, on top of all the sound effects and everything, ever since then I've been hooked on audio books.
👍
I wish we still had narrators like this who didn't need silly accents or sound effects and who just READ the story! It's so nice to listen to a real human being without any excess background noises or silly, digitally created voices!
I love this narrator. He also did the njo books by James Luceno
Yes ... Chuck Benson
Praying this stay up and praying for blessings and favor for you. ❤
Thank you!
(so do I)
Best version of reader
Agreed!
One of the best of many❤
Thank you 🤗

Oh Lorn Pavan. Thank you so much.

Once again, thank you very much!
Thank you for the kind words ... part 2 of Shadow Hunter will Premiere shortly!!!
Can’t thank you enough
My pleasure ... thank you!
@@TheArchivistPublishingare you on patreon or anything so I can send you money for these
Michael Reaves was the most underrated author in all the galaxy far far away.
His novels were great, full of unique ideas and awesome characters. Who would think of a droid with a soul, or a herb that multiplies the force connection to an individual!
I completely agree.
We are working on the 2 MedStar novels, as well... then all of Michael Reaves' works will be in (unabridged) audiobook format.
This is the best narration and effects evs
The Pavan Chronicles!
Exactly!
I hope you enjoy this one.
This was great! Thank you for the upload
Thank you!
More are on the way!
Keep putting these out ! It’s great work
Thank you so much for the kind words.
I promise you, until the Star Wars material is 100% audiobook, I will keep these coming! 😋

Darth maul one of my favorite sith lords has an audiobook that makes him the menace that he is, I HATE (for the most part ) what they did to his character in the clone wars tv series and rebels.
Agreed ... he became a bit sniveling in rhe last 2 seasons ... although the half spider body was interesting (in part, because it was temporary)
I don’t consider the clone wars except for the original one season real canon
@@bigbird2240 haha... I knew that would be a reply from someone, at least 🤣
@@TheArchivistPublishingI only consider the 2003 Clone Wars the true clone wars and books and comics
@@bigbird2240good thing you’re opinion is irrelevant to me.
Right that ending with Carol shocked me I thought that Actress was done! Cool seeing that version ⚡🔥🤘 For who she was talking about I would say Rick but him a Michonne are setting up there show so I'm drawing a blank lol, Honestly season 1 was ok would have been better if "Dog" Was there 👍 If we get a season 2 we shall see, 😂Ah Payton you know how cool it is to say I have hugged and fistbumed The Chosen One⚡ Rock that Hayden love🎉 Stay awesome 🔥🐉
W book
Yooooo this guy did the Jurassic Park audiobook too! Huh, what, is he like THE audiobook guy or something? Lol it's like getting read to by granddad 😂
Yes... he was a trend setter. 🤣
Actually, I am not sure if he is living now... keep in mind that these and Jurassic Park were 20 years ago 🤯
I’m assuming this was written before Darth Plagueis? It’s cool how they all interact
Yes, written in 2001
Lmfao even canon is just lore at this point... Like folk tales... Everyone gonna say something different
There’s another book where he’s in prison
This is near unlistenable. There’s a commercial every five minutes, it’s worse than watching corporate media.
@@ChrisDoss12 yea not sure why some have so many commercials and some don’t
Great
Thank you 🤗
Great intro music
Thank you 🤗
I have been playing around a lot with the background music & sounds as a way of establishing a setting and the mood... which starts with the intro! 😋
Coming back stout for second listen haha
That's exactly what I go 🤣
Where's Saboteur and Lockdown?
Saboteur is very close... although expect Maul: End Game first (it also comoketes the story in my last Maul release).
Wow, what a great fucking channel!!! I just stumbled upon it. I’m subscribing NOW 😎👍🏻
Thank you for the kind words! Please share my Channel to friends!
We have shadow Hunter and lockdown…which one am I missing?
Saboteur ... which I am currently producing (look for it on this channel in the near future!)
@@TheArchivistPublishing you’re a hero, gent and scholar ❤️
Thank you for the kind words!
He just put out “Restraint”
Next can you read darth maul lockdown plz.
Appreciate the attempt to monetize...but this one has WAY too many ads added in. Super distracting from the story.
Where TfF is the last book master...I Craaaave it.
All volumes are online and available... check out my Channel for all of the available titles
@@TheArchivistPublishing I've been waiting for your return master.
Star Wars legends novels are better than anything disney can shit out with infinite money
Yes... Great novels, that we will not let become forgotten!
Rogue One was exceptionally good.
@@josephnotoempire2949 lol
What books connect to this? Said book 3?
There are 3 Maul novels (Saboteur, Lockdown, & Shadow Hunter)... plus some young adult novels...
Also 3 Maul short stories - 1 I have released already, the other 2 I will release the other 2 in the next month)
@@TheArchivistPublishing so this is book 3 of 3?
The couldnt com other Jedi for assistance or even to alert them of a Sith being seen and confirmed? They has a full conversation and didn't com anyone. Jedi are such wastemen
They didn't contact anyone because her master was trying to help her complete her mission so she could become a Jedi Knight (without the council's knowledge)...
Then her Master dies and she has lost her comm. 🙈
With that said... I think spotting a Sith would supercede that course of action)...
@@TheArchivistPublishing exactly...
When do you plan to upload part 2?
It is in processing now with RUclips...
@@TheArchivistPublishing awesome
Why does it skip chapter 4?
It certainly should not skip chapter 4?!? 🙈
Regardless of it it does, we will re-release Maul: Shadow Hunter in the same format as Before the Storm next week! 🤫
You will have a 100% A. I. version with sound and effects... and if chapter 4 is missing in this release, it will be complete in the re-release!
... also, little to no ads!
@The.Archivist. thank you I normally listen to it on my way to school or work. 😄
It goes from chapter chapter 4 back to 3 where’s chapter 5 start at weird
Darsha is so badly written: her choices are very frustrating. If her character is intended to prove, that the average Jedi of the Republic have lost the plot/are badly trained, it's a success.
I wish, the author had given Darth Maul adversaries of his own caliber. Where is the challenge in him going after a child, who cant make it to Knight rank?
I suppose it is with good reason that Darsha never becomes a Jedi Knight 😂
She's a pre-Sith Padawan. Even though she does dumb things she still held her own against a Sith Lord.
With His Hands...🤮.. No plates?..horrible
🤣😂🤣
Chapter 3 just vanished
Nevermind, it’s just… after 4????
This is so dope!!
Thank you for the kind comments...
Yes, I think it is a shame that so much great content is essentially forgotten... hopefully, I can make a difference, 😇
Darth Jar Jars...sith name was supposed to be Darth Obveious.
🤣😂🤣
