television show next year. One important fact to note is that Jim Marquand's
father directed Return of the Jedi. What did he learn from hanging around the
set of a Star Wars film? Be sure to read the entire article to find out. |

Street of
Shadows |
The Official Star Wars Site has announced the latest book by
Michael Reaves entitled Street of Shadows. With the Jedi all but wiped
out in the grim aftermath of Order 66, the Empire's power seems unchecked. But
one lone Knight continues to fight the good fight -- against all odds and when
all else fails.
Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, Jedi Jax Pavan ekes out a living as a
private investigator; a go-to, can-do guy for the downtrodden. Now a mysterious
Zeltron knockout named Deejah approaches Jax with a case that needs to be
cracked: to find out who killed her artist lover Volette, brutally murdered
hours after his triumphant unveiling of a dazzling new light sculpture with
obvious links to lightsaber pyrotechnics.
Finding Volette's killer won't be easy -- too many secrets, too many
suspects, and all kinds of motives. But with the droid I-5YQ's help, and
ex-reporter Den Dhur's excellent snooping skills, the investigation is soon
operating like a well-oiled machine.
Unfortunately, there's a far more efficient machine hunting Jax. It's a
deadly game of cat-and-mouse as the clock starts ticking toward the final
explosive showdown . . . to see who strikes first and who will die first.
Don't miss these adventures in the Coruscant Nights series by Michael Reaves
from Del Rey Books. Book two, Street of Shadows, is scheduled for release
this September. |
