Announced on the Star Wars Books Facebook page this morning is the title and a few details about Jeff Grubb’s 2012 paperback, Scourge. It will take place before the New Jedi Order series and features a new character, Jedi Knight Mander Zuma. There’s a brief plot summary in the comments:
It’s about a murdered Jedi and the investigation into the Hutt’s criminal enterprises.
Hrm. I remain unintrigued, but it’s early yet. The book is currently schedule for an April 2012 release.
That actually sounds pretty interesting. Set around the Young Jedi Knights era and maybe with a Mafia-esque sort of feel to it? I’d buy that.
I hope it involves some of the Huttlords we saw in those Clone Wars episode.
