Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
NJOE spots yet another Fury summary. At least it’s on the Random House site so we don’t have to do the ‘real or BS’ dance. And yes, it’s reproduced beyond the cut. Beware of Sacrifice/Inferno spoilers, etc. etc.

Sue Rostoni made a flurry of posts over on the starwars.com boards today. Nothing too detailed, but we’ve learned that that Jaina is most likely the cover subject for Invincible; the Lucas people have had a meeting with the folks handling the new book contract and they’re aiming for “a good mix of eras.”
Meanwhile, there’s an interview with Timothy Zahn over at Fractal Matter.
This surfaced last week when I was embroiled in Darth Real Life. I didn’t blog it at the time because a) busy! and b) it seemed terribly generic and said absolutely nothing we all don’t know or could guess.
Then I read it again. That last bit? Hrm…
POSSIBLE LOTF SPOILERS / HIGHLIGHT TO READ: As Jacen struggles with the loss of many supporters and almost all his friends and loved ones in his bid to rule the galaxy, Luke must deal with grief and the guilt at having killed the wrong person in revenge. The leaders of both sides of the galactic civil war are increasingly losing control over their forces, the Jedi and their allies are hunting the wrong target as they seek to bring the unknown murderer to justice, and a hidden group of Sith have to figure out what to do about Jacen and their own secret agenda.
This about as unconfirmed as unconfirmed gets, and I’m deeply inclined to call bullshit. It was first reported by NJOE, which is currently down, and seems to have originated at Waterstone’s.
However, the Fury summary that has been confirmed by Sue Rostoni, the longer one we linked earlier, does hint that “a plan to destroy Jacen is unfolding deep in space.” So, who knows?
A Revelation synopsis found on amazon.co.uk has been confirmed by Sue Rostoni.
In his new mantle as Sith Lord, Jacen Solo’s dark powers reach a peak as he continues to crush opposition across the warring galaxy and bring his dream of a new order closer to fruition. But those who once fought at his side now turn against him, and as his unexpected enemies rally to the confederacy, Ben Skywalker discovers the full and terrible truth of how his mother died.
(Text contains Sacrifice spoilers – highlight to read.)
Sue also revealed that the publication date for the final Legacy of the Force book, Invincible, has been moved up to May 13, 2008.
Gabri Jade attended a writing workshop co-headlined by Timothy Zahn last weekend, and on her livejournal gives an account of his comments on writing and some discussion of the current state of the EU. (Meaning, yes, possible spoilers for the catchup crowd.)
Gabri has previously documented the informal Karen Traviss/Mara fangirl summit at Celebration IV.
NJOE has found what may be the publisher’s summary for Fury, the seventh Legacy of the Force novel coming out this November. The summary has not been verified by VIPs, but looks probable enough. It does contain spoilers for Inferno and Sacrifice, so head under the cut to read it.
Tonight on the TOS, the cover art for the eighth Legacy of the Force novel, Revelation. Time to start betting on the cover subject of the final book.
Word on the street is that Star Wars Insider #95 is starting to show up in subscriber mailboxes, and that it contains an interview with LOTF author Troy Denning and lots of hints about what happens in Inferno, in addition to a few pages on Clone Wars, and a Q&A with Leland Chee.
There’s a fan summary of the interview a couple posts down on this thread at the NJOE boards.
