UPDATE: Erich Schoeneweiss from Del Rey tells me that the above art is not actually for the cover:
I just want to clarify that we are not using that amazing Michael Whelan Yoda painting on the cover. It's simply a placeholder image for catalog purposes. Our cover art director, Scott Biel, has commissioned an amazing new painting from a fan favorite artist and I know it will excite the readers when we reveal it in 2012.
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
