Waiting on Wednesday 04/01/15
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that lets us feature upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!
Mogsy’s Pick:
Star Wars: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig: September 4, 2015 (Del Rey)
I was like aasfdsfjkjlsdfffff;;; when I first saw the nerdgasm-inducing news about this book on Starwars.com. I reacted just as you would expect from someone who just found out two of their favorite things are coming together in one epic package. Chuck Wendig. Star Wars. MUST READ.
And that’s not all. Aftermath is significant because it will bridge the Star Wars timeline between Return of the Jedi and the much anticipated upcoming Star Wars film Episode VII The Force Awakens. That’s pretty huge. As a Chuck Wendig fan with a rabid love for Star Wars, I really can’t wait to get my hands on this one.
“Journey to The Force Awakens.
The second Death Star is destroyed. The Emperor and his powerful enforcer, Darth Vader, are rumored to be dead. The Galactic Empire is in chaos.
Across the galaxy, some systems celebrate, while in others Imperial factions tighten their grip. Optimism and fear reign side by side.
And while the Rebel Alliance engages the fractured forces of the Empire, a lone Rebel scout uncovers a secret Imperial meeting…”

Hmm I’m not that attracted by this one I confess. But I would be curious to read reviews.

I’ve been trying to keep up with the new SW books that are out since the “reset” and I don’t think any of them have gotten me as excited as the news of this one 🙂

Damn it. I have already said I am not doing it! Stop bringing respectable authors into the new EU. I just…cant…take it.

The EU books need some fresh blood, imo. I’m actually really glad they’re pulling in more well known and diverse authors, but yes that means I’m reading a lot more SW books and considering how many there are the deluge is killing me.

Did my comment post?! So weird…
Anyway, as I was saying, not my kind of read but still hope you thoroughly enjoy this one!

I’m with Nathan – stop teasing us with respectable authors entering the Star Wars EU. As interested as I am in new stories, gap fillers just don’t motivate me. Chuck’s a big temptation, and this is a different sort of gap that might provide some insights into the movie, but I still don’t know . . .

That’s one of the reasons why I’m looking forward to this one a lot more than the others. I hope it will give us insight into the new movie, and I believe from what I’ve seen on Wendig’s blog, there will be some.

How did this book escape my notice? I thought I was tuned in to all things Wendig, LOL! I don’t usually follow the Star Wars universe, but I’m sure curious to see what Chuck does with it!

I would have so thought you’d know about this! I found out through your blog, after all lol…I think I clicked one of your links and found myself at his page which led me to see the news.

Yea, I am going to admit — not a huge star wars fan. Probably more of a trekkie, but the reboots. Basically, I am the worst, and I know it. haha.

I love Star Trek too! And nothing wrong with just liking the reboots, they brought you to the wonderful world of Trek after all! 🙂

I’ve heard a lot of people grumbling about the quality of some of the recent Star Wars books (I wouldn’t know – haven’t read any!), so bringing in a fan favourite and respected author like Chuck Wendig is a great idea. Fingers crossed that it’s awesome!

I think it’s great too, I’m sure they want to bring new readers to the Star Wars books, and getting all these well known spec-fic writers to do them is probably working.
