He shows up as an infant (1 year old) in the book. He is a small part that is interwoven into Maul's own book ("Shadow Hunter") and then woven into the story of Episode one. This book takes place from about 50 years prior to Episode 1 - The middle of the Episode 1 story line. In my opinion, having just finished, this is BY FAR the best story that has been built around direct events in the movies. In a perfect world, this story and it's epilogue section at the end should have been the story for Episode 1. Key players in the book that have a role or make a cameo: Palpatine Maul Jedi Master Sifo Dias Padawan and Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn Nute Gunray The Banking Clan Jedi Master Dooku The Tarkins The Nabererie Family The Kiminoans And many more! Planets that have a major role: Tattooine, Naboo, Sulust, Malastre, and Corrusant, to name a few. SORRY FOR ALL THE SPELLING ERRORS ABOVE. This book is prior to Maul’s death.

He was cut in half and is dead. And it says about Darth Plagueis, "could he be the only one who never died?" Plagueis was a master at manipulating midi-chlorians, not Palpatine nor Maul. So, it is possible that he appears dead when Palpatine examines him, but in reality he could be making his midi-chlorians affect his body in such a way that Palpatine is fooled. So it is possible Plagueis survived. And it says "the only one" like there were possibly more. And I believe that would probably be Darth Bane they're refering. He could do the essence transfer and he certainly used it on Zannah so it's pretty safe to say Bane never died. Well, as a Sith that is. In Plagueis it was mentioned that a dark lord turned to the light and took the secrets of the essence transfer with him among other secrets then died. Bane would've never told a soul about the essence transfer. Yes, his new apprentice knew what had happened, but there is not a chance in hell he would have taught her HOW to do it. Something major must've happened to turn Bane to the light though huh? If I'm right. Which I always am. Darth Maul is on the back because he’s in the book. He was cut in half and is dead.
