First The Essential Reader's Companion, then Scoundrels, and now Scourge. Del Rey's Star Wars Books team posted their third "thank you" gift to fans for bringing their Facebook page over 30,000 "likes," and this time it's a short excerpt from Jeff Grubb's upcoming New Republic-era novel. Here's the Scourge publisher's summary to set the scene:
In the heart of crime-ridden Hutt Space, a Jedi Scholar searches for justice.
While trying to obtain the coordinates of a secret, peril-packed, but potentially beneficial trade route, a novice Jedi is killed?and the motive for his murder remains shrouded in mystery. Now his former Master, Jedi archivist Mander Zuma, wants answers, even as he fights to erase doubts about his own abilities as a Jedi. What Mander gets is immersion into the perilous underworld of the Hutts as he struggles to stay one step ahead in a game of smugglers, killers, and crime lords bent on total control.
Click through to check out the excerpt. Star Wars: Scourge by Jeff Grubb will be released on April 24th, 2012 from Del Rey Books.
