"...BLOOD OATH has been moved to December 2009. The manuscript hasn't been delivered yet -- it just got to be too late to make the deadline, so we moved it. I feel badly because the story, as you know, takes place before OUTCAST so we wanted it to come out as close to OUTCAST as possible... but it didn't happen."

New Novels Updated

This is an update to that other blog, listing the upcoming novels. The other one was getting a little messy as things change so much -- expect further changes!

December 30, 2008 -- LUKE SKYWALKER AND THE SHADOWS OF MINDOR by Matthew Stover. (Hardcover) I just received the advanced samples of this one and it looks very cool.

March 24, 2009 - OUTCAST, by Aaron Allston. (Hardcover) This is the first book of the 9-book FATE OF THE JEDI hardcover series. In the two years following the death of Darth Caedus, the new Chief of State Daala considers the Jedi Knights as rogue soldiers too dangerous and unstable to leave unfettered. She has sworn to bring the Order under government control - or disband it entirely. In order to discover what when wrong with Jacen, Luke and Ben attempt to follow Jacen's previous journey in the hopes of discovering how the galaxy's other Force-using groups influenced him to accept and use dark side powers.

May 19, 2009 -- CLONE WARS: NO PRISONERS by Karen Traviss. (Trade Paperback) Anakin needs a break and sends Ahsoka, along with Captain Rex and other members of the 501st, on a routine three-day shakedown cruise aboard Captain Gilad Pellaeon's newly refitted assault ship. As it turns out, there's nothing at all routine about the cruise and they find themselves in the middle of a hostage situation.

June 23, 2009 -- FATE OF THE JEDI: OMEN by Christie Golden. (Hardcover) The second book in the Fate of the Jedi series finds Luke and Ben in serious trouble. Well, pretty much everyone is in serious trouble. And then there's that scene at the zoo.......

August 28, 2009 -- FATE OF THE JEDI: ABYSS by Troy Denning. (Hardcover) In this third book, more trouble happens as well as some good times, and Ben Skywalker enjoys a dinner date.

September 29, 2009 - IMPERIAL COMMANDO: 501st, by Karen Traviss. (Paperback) Great title, huh? Clone troopers become stormtroopers in this gripping aftermath of Order 66. Follow Darman, Niner, and other favorites as they find their way in this new Empire gone mad.

October 27, 2009 - DEATHTROOPERS, by Joe Schreiber (Paperback) takes place just before the events of A New Hope. This is the first Star Wars venture into the horror genre and should be read under the covers by flashlight.

December 15, 2009 - The third Darth Bane novel by Drew Karpyshyn. (Hardcover) This book continues the story of Darth Bane and his apprentice Zannah. I'm dying to see how the two of them get along.

December 29, 2009 -- BLOOD OATH, by Elaine Cunningham. (Paperback) Remember where we left Zekk at the end of the final battle in INVINCIBLE? This book begins with Zekk left spinning in his StealthX and follows his journey to rejoin the Jedi Order. But first..... well, it's all in the novel.

January 18, 2010 - FATE OF THE JEDI book 4 by Aaron Allston. (Hardcover) The story continues....

January 26, 2010 - CROSSCURRENT by Paul Kemp. (Paperback) This one stars Jaden Korr and probably a few Jedi and a few Sith. It sort of takes place during the Great Hyperspace War, and then sort of doesn't... well, you'll figure it out.

March 2010 -- CLONE WARS 3 by Karen Miller. (Trade paperback)

April 27, 2010 - FATE OF THE JEDI 5 by Christie Golden. (Hardcover)

June 2010 - CLONE WARS 4 by Karen Miller. (Trade Paperback)

July 2010 --IMPERIAL COMMANDO 2 by Karen Traviss. (Paperback)

August 2010 - FATE OF THE JEDI 6 by Troy Denning. (Hardcover)

October 2010 - A novel by Alex Irvine. This is a stand-alone novel starring... are you ready? Nomi Sunrider!! (Hardcover)

November 2010 - FATE OF THE JEDI 7 by Aaron Allston. (Hardcover)

January 2011 - FATE OF THE JEDI 8 by Christie Golden. (Hardcover)

March 2011 - This untitled Boba Fett novel by Karen Traviss stars Boba Fett. (Paperback)

April 2011 - FATE OF THE JEDI 9 by Troy Denning. (Hardcover) Wraps up the series....

June 2011 - An untitled novel by Michael Reaves and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff features a promising holostar -- a rags-to-riches story set a few years before the Battle of Yavin. (Paperback)

Well, I picked up "Steets of Shadow". Still reading "Jedi Twilight" less than 100 pages now. It's coming together nicely.

I read some unflattering reviews on amazon. for "Force Unleashed" by Sean William Scott. Basically, judging reviews, wait for the paperback next year sometimes. Meanwhile, the DH comics is the preferred version.

Well we are both on SW breaks.

I was waiting for the paperback anyway.
What are the complaints?

I have to update the list of books sometime this week. Also add a pic and some new news

**Cryostar** · 09-05-2008, 05:22 AM

A pic of what?

The problem is, there are details in the book that aren't in the Graphic Novel.

***Alexander*** · 09-05-2008, 05:27 PM

Steph...reveiws on TFN and amazon.com have been less than "flattering" about Sean Williams Scott's Force Unleashed novelization. The concensus is that it fails to deliver on all fronts, esp. characterization and certain "points of view". Comes across as straight line following the game.

Pics in the opening post should be covers for Coruscant Nights Trilogy, Order 66 and or the Clone Wars.

I will finish Jedi Twilight no matter what at work this weekend.

**BehrItAll** · 09-06-2008, 12:20 PM

Pics of books Jerry, like what Alex mentioned.

Now I am not inspired to read it at all. I'll just read the graphic novel.

ETA: fixed up the OP. If anything is a miss tell me, thank you.

***Alexander*** · 09-07-2008, 01:39 PM

I finished "Jedi Twilight" at work this weekend

Finally! Darn, that little book it took me 6 weeks to finish it. I kind of fell out of my "reading mode" after such a strong push to finish NJO.

Well, I'll be starting "Street of Shadows" next week.

**BehrItAll** · 09-07-2008, 03:40 PM

Well there was the Olympics you were into and then dragoncon.

It's happen to me too where a simple book got put down and I finished it later than I should have.

So did you like it?

Spealing of NJO, will we ever get your full review?

***Alexander*** · 09-09-2008, 09:17 PM

I'll post one this week.

Seriously

I will.

Coruscant Nights is starting to really grow on me with "Street of Shadows". I think everyone who reads it will find the "magic SW formula" and characters in there to be satisfactory. I really wish the books got more publicity.

Instead, "Force Unleashed" is number 1 best seller hardcover right now

When Jedi Twilight and Street of Shadows are better rated/received among SW book fans (online).

Oh, and Elaine Cunningham who wrote the NJO book "Dark Jorney", which follows the central "star by star" and is the Jaina Solo "novel" of the series, has been contacted and is writting a one shot book called "Blood Oath" Scheduled for a late April or early May release next year. No details have been made available, other than the author confirming that she is indeed writting a one shot novel.

**BehrItAll** · 09-09-2008, 09:20 PM

Ok, I hope so. I am looking forward to it.

"Blood Oath"...I can only imagine what that could be about.

**Cryostar** · 09-12-2008, 05:43 AM

With any luck, it'll be about Jaina and the Mando's....I loved that part of LOTF>

**BehrItAll** · 09-12-2008, 08:34 PM

The saving grace of the series?

**Cryostar** · 09-15-2008, 05:58 AM

There were a few enjoy parts of the whole series. Most of them involved the Mando's though.

***Alexander*** · 09-15-2008, 10:01 AM

With any luck, I won't have any more Mando stuff forced down my throat by Del Rey and Karen Traviss. It's one thing when it's a one shot book, etc just skip it. When it's a part of a series, kind of forced to read it to read the entire series.

OK...latest news from DEL REY, is that the "fate of the jedi" series starting next april that will be a 9 book series, picking up after the train that is LOTF...will only be available in HARD COVER. Seriously. It's not enough that they are going to use rotating authors, again, etc, who knows how it's going to turn out, but now it wont be available in paperback, which quite frankly is what I'm buying from now on as "protest" and to "save money".

Although you can get hardcovers on amazon for around 17 bucks. Still, I hope this turns out to be not true.

**BehrItAll** · 09-15-2008, 07:45 PM

Could always skip a series and catch up on message boards and wookieepedia.

Hardcover! Frak you too!
I'll borrow the paperbacks from the library.

***Alexander*** · 09-16-2008, 08:28 PM

Steph, that's the thing...I don't believe they will release paperbacks of "Fate of the Jedi", or it doesn't sound like it. DEL REY is going to market the all hardcover series as "collectors" item or something?
