Right in the wake of the ultra-generic catalog text for Ascension, we get the back cover art and actual jacket blurb for Fate of the Jedi: Conviction by Christie Golden. This time it’s actually pretty spoilery, so don’t highlight to read this unless you’re fully caught up on the series.
Chief of State Natasi Daala has been overthrown, and the Jedi Order has taken control of the Galactic Alliance. But while the new governors dismantle Daala’s draconian regime, forces still loyal to the deposed official are mobilizing a counterstrike. And even the Jedi’s new authority may not be enough to save Tahiri Veila, the former Jedi Knight and onetime Sith apprentice convicted of treason for the killing of Galactic Alliance officer Gilad Pellaeon.
Meanwhile, Luke and Ben Skywalker are relentlessly pursuing Abeloth, the powerful dark-side entity bent on ruling the galaxy. But as they corner their monstrous quarry on the planet Nam Chorios, the two lone Jedi must also face the fury of the Sith death squadron bearing down on them. And when Abeloth turns the tables with an insidious ambush, the Skywalkers’ quest threatens to become a suicide mission.
Barring any future date changes, Ascension will be out August 16

Is that Tenel Ka on the back? It would be nice for her character to make a major return to the series.

Yeah. We’ve known it was supposed to be her for a while.

Keira Knightley is in FOJ?

I find it notable that they chose not to show that half her arm is missing.

Not having my books to hand (I’m at work), do any of the other books back covers show the full person?
Just thinking from a design point of view it would be more out of place to intentionally put her missing arm in the picture, when the other covers don’t show that much of the body.
That being said the others might and I’m talking b*llocks.
