Mara and Mirax’s Excellent Adventure! 

No one in the Expanded Universe kicks ass quite like Mara Jade Skywalker and Mirax Terrik Horn and no one has a friendship quite like theirs either.  PS: Don’t worry about that one time they got arrested.  They were exonerated!

We’ve already seen the blurb, but now io9 has the cover for John Jackson Miller’s Kenobi! It’s pretty standard, but nice and simple: Glad to see not every cover we’re getting this year is photoshop trickery!

Kenobi will be out in hardcover on August 27. Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that July 9th’s Crucible will contain an excerpt.

Star Wars out this week: Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void by Tim Lebbon is out now; I reviewed it! Out Wednesday (5/7) is Star Wars #5 by Brian Wood with art from Carlos D’Anda.

Celebrate May the 4th with brand-new excerpts from two upcoming Star Wars novels. There’s the first chapter of Troy Denning’s Crucible (July 9) and 50 pages of Tim Lebbon’s Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void (May 7.)

If you have a Kindle or a Kindle-compatible device, several Star Wars novels are on sale for $1.99, including Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire, the book that started the modern Expanded Universe as we know it!

The blurb for John Jackson Miller’s Kenobi is up on the Random House catalog, Star Wars Books reports! And here it is:

Tatooine—a harsh desert world where farmers toil in the heat of two suns while trying to protect themselves and their loved ones from the marauding Tusken Raiders. A backwater planet on the edge of civilized space. And an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding, or an orphaned infant boy on whose tiny shoulders rests the future of a galaxy.

Known to locals only as “Ben,” the bearded and robed offworlder is an enigmatic stranger who keeps to himself, shares nothing of his past, and goes to great pains to remain an outsider. But as tensions escalate between the farmers and a tribe of Sand People led by a ruthless war chief, Ben finds himself drawn into the fight, endangering the very mission that brought him to Tatooine.

Ben—Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, hero of the Clone Wars, traitor to the Empire, and protector of the galaxy’s last hope—can no more turn his back on evil than he can reject his Jedi training. And when blood is unjustly spilled, innocent lives threatened, and a ruthless opponent unmasked, Ben has no choice but to call on the wisdom of the Jedi—and the formidable power of the Force—in his never-ending fight for justice.

The book will be out in hardcover on August 27, and we ought to be seeing the final cover soon.
