One of the most exciting things about being a Star Wars book editor is the fact that I get to share my love of Star Wars with the thousands upon thousands of fans who also love adventures in that galaxy “far, far away.”
But what about those people who don’t read Star Wars books? People who are intimidated by the fact that there are so many novels, and it’s not always easy to figure out where to start?
Well, to start with, I’d recommend you get in touch with us (a great way to do that is to “Like” us on Facebook, here), and let us know what you like about Star Wars (or reading in general), and let our very passionate editorial team lead you in the right direction.
In addition to that, though, you can take a chance with one of the many awesome stand-alone novels set in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
To that end, I’m very proud to present another excerpt from STAR WARS: SHADOW GAMES, by Michael Reaves and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff. Not only is this a stand-alone adventure, it’s also, in a sense, the first Star Wars thriller novel (just as Star Wars: Death Troopers was the first Star Wars horror novel). Even better–for casual fans–it’s set right before A New Hope, and features a character I’m sure you’re familiar with: Han Solo!
So check out this excerpt, and make sure to pick up the book in paperback or eBook on November 29, 2011.
Happy reading!
