New
nine-book series to start next year?
Posted:
20th August
Commenting via StarWarsBoards regarding
recent internet rumours claiming "Fate of
the Jedi is a new book-series, comprised of nine
volumes which take |
place
after the Legacy of
the Force-series. The books will be written
by Aaron Allston, Troy Denning, and Star Wars
newcomer Christie Golden", LucasBooks
Managing Editor Sue Rostoni said: "You can
expect information once the press release is
prepared and approved and posted on StarWars.com.
Then we can open a discussion that I can actually
participate in!" and "We have
quite a number of books planned for the near
future, so I'm hoping that everyone's appetites
will be somewhat appeased."
As for the Christie Golden rumours, Sue commented
"I met her some time ago and she's very
enthusiastic about the unnamed project I can't
talk about. She's a team player and a good
communicator."
Once again Sue is being coy about direct answers,
neither confirming nor denying rumours, so could
Sue's "unnamed project" be the
speculated nine-book series entitled Fate of the
Jedi?
