Coming Next Year: Jedi Twilight
November 09, 2007

Though cover art for Jedi Twilight, the first of the Coruscant Nights series, has yet to be finalized, here is the text that will appear on the cover:

With the dark ascension of the Empire, and the Jedi Knights virtually wiped out, one Jedi who escaped the massacre is slated for a date with destiny--and a confrontation with Darth Vader.

Jax Pavan is one of the few Jedi Knights who miraculously survived the slaughter that followed Palpatine's ruthless Order 66. Now, deep in Coruscant's Blackpit Slums, Jax ekes out a living as a private investigator, trying to help people in need while concealing his Jedi identity and staying one step ahead of the killers out for Jedi blood. Others search for the elusive Jax too. Hard-boiled reporter Den Dhur and his buddy, the highly unorthodox droid I-5YQ, have shocking news to bring Jax--about the father he never knew.

But when Jax learns that his old Jedi Master has been killed, leaving behind the request that Jax finish a mission critical to the resistance, Jax has no choice but to emerge from hiding--and risk detection by Darth Vader to fulfill his Master's dying wish.

The Coruscant Nights series, by Michael Reaves, begins next summer from Del Rey Books.

Hmmm...Star Wars detective novels? Interesting. Looks like we're getting into the gap between eps 3 and 4 here. I enjoyed the MedStar series that Micheal Reeves did (I liked the Clone Wars MASH idea) so hopefully this will be just as good.

Interesting Concept, and agreed, like that more stories are coming out for the time frame between ep 3 and 4
