The Random House site has come through with a blurb for the July hardcover from Timothy Zahn, Choices of One.
The fate of the Rebellion rests on Luke Skywalker’s next move. But have the rebels entered a safe harbor or a death trap?
Eight months after the Battle of Yavin, the Rebellion is in desperate need of a new base. So when Governor Ferrouz of Candoras Sector proposes an alliance, offering the Rebels sanctuary in return for protection against the alien warlord Nuso Esva, Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie are sent to evaluate the deal.
Mara Jade, the Emperor’s Hand, is also heading for Candoras, along with the five renegade stormtroopers known as the Hand of Judgment. Their mission: to punish Ferrouz’s treason and smash the Rebels for good.
But in this treacherous game of betrayals within betrayals, a wild card is waiting to be played.
The cover, alas, remains. (via)
It’s been a really long time since I’ve picked up a Star Wars book, but this one sounds fun. Additionally I just have been feeling the urge to pick some up again so this might be the cure for that urge also.
So glad that the word ‘blurb’ has been accepted in common usage
Hasn’t ‘blurb’ been an accepted word for quite a while now?
It’s always been the term for the summary on the back of a book as long as I can remember…
I’ve seen better Photomanipulations on Deviant Art, sadly.
Not even Mara deserves something as crummy as that mock-up. =/
