Del Rey Books Contract Extended
Posted by Chuck | May 12, 2008 at 07:19 PM EST |
Del
Rey news from the Star Wars
Action News team:
With the ad for a new book, entitled
Millennium Falcon appearing
at the end of the newest Legacy of the Force book Invincible (on store
shelves tomorrow) it was widely suspected that this meant Del Rey's contract with
Lucasfilm for more Star Wars books was extended.
We contacted our sources at Del Rey and we can now confirm this to be the case!
Per our contact from Del Rey, Del Rey
has received an extended contract for more Star
Wars novels. "There are sure there will be more books into 2009" he
said, but he could not be more specific about the details of the contract, how many
years it covered, or how many books we may see. He did confirm there would be new
adult fiction as well as companion books, like the Star Wars Encyclopedia being released
this fall
So that means more great Star Wars fiction to come from Del Rey. We expect an
official announcement from Lucasfilm's Sue Rostoni to be forthcoming. |
