Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Republic Commando: Triple Zero, the latest from Karen Traviss, is out today. There’s a short excerpt from Aaron Allston’s Betrayal in the back, featuring Wedge in his underwear.
In other author (if not Star Wars) news, it also seems Mike Stackpole has a new book out.
ETA: There will be a new story from Traviss in the next Star Wars Insider that takes place a few months after Triple Zero.
Sue Rostoni has posted the character list for Aaron Allston’s Betrayal, the first book of the Legacy series. There’s also a (very) short excerpt.

Fan audio isn’t my thing, so many thanks to Jade Crusades for pointing out an episode of Requiem of the Outcast that features an interview with Timothy Zahn and Aaron Allston at StellerCon 2004. The interview starts at 15:20 and just might bring back your post-con depression. They talk about other authors writing their characters, fan reaction, Piggy, killing characters, writing in the original Wookiee, websites as self promotion, hints about Zahn’s Outbound Flight novel and even filking.
