''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Star_%28novel%29 Death Star]'' is a novel in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]], written by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry. Perry also wrote [[Shadows of the Empire]]. Reaves wrote a few episodes of the old ''Droids'' and ''Ewoks'' television shows, as well as ''Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter'' and the Coruscant Nights Trilogy. Prior to ''
The novel follows the lives of a selection of characters who end up working on the Death Star late in its completion, and after that. They include Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, Admiral Motti, an old surgeon, a Force-Sensitive stormtrooper, a bartender, a librarian, a bouncer, a TIE pilot, a wrongly accused convict, a political prisoner who was an architect, and the Death Star's lead gunner.
Line 8:
Interestingly, there is no overall villain of the book. The Rebellion is certainly out there, weighing on people's minds, but aside from the minor role that Leia Organa plays, none of them are named or given much notoriety, much less become a viewpoint character. Some characters oppose each other - Motti does not like Vader, for instance - but until the end most of them are at least somewhat civil with each other. They're all more or less on the same side, after all.
