I am intrigued by the idea of the Holostar book by Michael Reaves and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff that's due out in 2011. It's described as being a rags-to-riches story about an actor during the Rebellion. There's no information about if it's a male or female, human or not, at least none I've seen so far. And then there's Death Troopers which I am very much looking forward to. A combo horror/Star Wars novel, what could be better! I'm still in a vague shock about the Invasion comic book and have a I-have-to-see-it-before-I-believe-it feeling. There are two new main characters but the characters from New Jedi Order, Jacen, Anakin, Luke, etc., are still supposed to be included. What intrigues me the most is how these characters will be drawn. Luke we've seen just about every way possible, but we've only seen the Solo brothers on the book covers. Now there will be a new supply of images.:)
By the way, co-author of Holostar, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff (yes, her middle name really does have those two a's in it even though it looks odd), will be doing a weekly blog about her writing at
Book View Cafe. Check out her post about Coruscant Nights III: Patterns of Force at
A Padawan's Star Wars Journal, Entry #1: Writing in a Galaxy Far, Far Away. It sounds interesting and I bookmarked the page since I'm so forgetful.
