I just finished Star Wars: Death Star. It's an interesting little EU novel.

Basically, it chronicles about ten characters as they come together and get wrapped up in construction of the Death Star. They all seem kinda separate but they overlap and eventually meet up and try to desert. The interesting thing is that the book actually rather seamlessly segues into the events of the first film and happen around it, so it's quite clever.

Not brilliant, but thoughtful I guess.

Also the guy who fires the Death Star laser ends up having a huge mental crisis after wiping out Alderaan. nice touch.
