The Secret History of Star Wars
Summary
Star Wars is one of the most important cultural phenomena of the Western world. The tale of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker has become modern myth, an epic tragedy of the corruption of a young man in love into darkness, the rise of evil, and the power of good triumphing in the end. But it didn't start out that way. In this thorough account of one of cinema's most lasting works, Michael Kaminski presents the true history of how Star Wars was written, from its beginnings as a science fiction fairy tale to its development over three decades into the epic we now know, chronicling the methods, techniques, thought processes, and struggles of its creator. For this unauthorized account, he has pored through over 400 sources, from interviews to original scripts, to track how the most powerful modern epic in the world was created, expanded, and finalized into the tale an entire generation has grown up with.

Mouthpiece
Summary
Imagine that your father is one of New York City’s top gangsters, and that you want nothing to do with him or his criminal empire. Now imagine he’s been murdered...and the only person who gives a damn is you. Meet Mat Lawrence, a stand-up guy who’s got one thing on his mind: revenge. The last place Mat wants to go is back to New York, but that’s where the killers are, and he won’t stop until they’re dead...or he is. And there’s only one man who can help him track them down: his father’s criminal attorney - the Mouthpiece. But there’s more than a desire for revenge at play in this deadly game. When Mat’s old man went down, a million dollars went missing. Put it all together - a cold-blooded murder and a cool million gone - and it’s a pretty good bet that the one thing Mat is sure to find is some serious heat. Also includes the tales of mystery, “Flame City”, the story of one man’s harrowing attempt to save his father and the city from a serial arsonist; “Calling Squad Cars!”, in which a police dispatcher goes to extraordinary lengths to bring down a gang of bank robbers after he is accused of working with them; and “Grease Spot”, the story of a former race car driver, now the owner of a wrecking company, who plays fast and loose with the police...and may have to pay for it. If you’re a fan of a good mystery, it would be a crime to miss the audio version of Mouthpiece...it’s killer entertainment! * A Publishers Weekly Listen Up Award Winner
