- 22nd of July, 98 -

Hum... Ok, I said this part was underconstruction but now, it's STILL under construction so I made [copy-paste] of the literature review of Jedinet. I didn't have much time to check for new publishing myself so I picked the others work. At least, I could check in Amazon.com, or Dhorse.com...

Books that will be published this year:

Vision of the Future - 352 pages (October 1998) Bantam Doubleday Dell Books; ISBN: 0553100351
The "October" means September, as we all know now. The page number is hefty, so I'm happy. :O)

The Bounty Hunter Wars - Book Two: Slave Ship by K.W. Jeter (September 1998, paperback, 400 pp.)
The galaxy's most fearsome bounty hunter, Boba Fett, returns in the second installment of this arc, which finds the Bounty Hunters Guild warring against itself as a huge price is placed on the head of a renegade Imperial stormtrooper.tHe is dead, Fett sets out to claim the prize, unaware that the bounty is part of a trap orchestrated against the Rebellion by the cunning and ruthless Prince Xizor!
Everyone, please take note: the title IS simply Slave Ship--no "The." Bummer. Should've kept it to have some symmetry. <g> I have blacked out one part, because it spoils an event from TMA. Everybody should know it anyway, but I'll play it safe.

Wookie Cookies: The STAR WARS Cookbook by Robin Davis; photographs by Frankie Frankeny (hardcover, 60 pp.)

Oh boy. This is really out there, I don't think I want to comment. Hee-hee.
