9 of 12: Tarkin by James Luceno.
Goodreads
3 out of 5. A book about evil imperial Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing in the original Star Wars). Gives part of his backstory, and tells a tale about the early construction of the Death Star. Dragged a little in the middle. The resolution was out of left field. Not bad, but not great.
Up next: Images of America: Saucon Valley (not sure if I'm going to count that) and then Devoted in Death by J. D. Robb.
Bestselling Star Wars veteran James Luceno gives Grand Moff Tarkin the Star Wars: Darth Plagueis treatment, bringing a legendary character from A New Hope to full, fascinating life.
He’s the scion of an honorable and revered family. A dedicated soldier and distinguished legislator. Loyal proponent of the Republic and trusted ally of the Jedi Order. Groomed by the ruthless politician and Sith Lord who would be Emperor, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin rises through the Imperial ranks, enforcing his authority ever more mercilessly . . . and zealously pursuing his destiny as the architect of absolute dominion.
