Random House’s fall catalog is now available to the pixel-soaked masses, and there’s not a ton of news in it… Mostly the standard publicity stuff: Author podcasts, convention appearances, 501st marketing events.
- Death Troopers (page 113) will have a fan cover design contest and a special cover with a full-color poster on the reverse. (The winning entry to the contest, perhaps?)
- Another free e-story will be coming with Fate of the Jedi: Abyss (page 107.)
- The Complete Vader (page 111) will.. uhh.. be shrink-wrapped? You’re probably better off looking at StarWar.com’s preview pages.
- Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil has the same blurb we saw with the cover announcement. It’s hanging out on page 115.
Keep in mind this catalog copy is done fairly early on, so all this is subject to change… And no, there’s nothing Star Wars in the trade paperback catalog – the next Clone Wars book isn’t due out until February.
Lets hope the page counts go up for these books — they are all pretty short, especially for hardcovers.
Death Troopers: 224 pages
Abyss: 256 pages
Darth Bane: 2556 pages
Heh, that Darth Bane book doesn’t look that short, Lee… ;)
D’OH!
