The official site offers a peek of the back cover of the next Fate of the Jedi book, Christie Golden’s Ascension. (The blurb is the same as last time.)
Needless to say, I’m rolling my eyes. But at least it’s not on the front?
Ascension is (at the moment) scheduled for an August 9th release.
Have we had a Mando on a cover in this series already? Everything but Conviction is in a box (among nineteen other boxes of books) somewhere at the moment, so I can’t really go look.
I guess it at least makes sense for there to bed Mandos this time around. There haven’t really been any Mando characters in FotJ yet, but they’ve been a pretty major presence in several books. I suspect that Daala will be Up To Something with them the next time out, and really, as long as they’re still being portrayed as mercenaries and not some flavor of Noble Savage I’m okay with that.
After giving it a closer look though, that does seem to be ol’ Boba Fett again. The article is even tagged as featuring him. That’s…interesting.
How many stock photos do they have lying around of the guy?
Mandos? ::sigh::
