Around the Web

Here is this week’s Around the Web news roundup of Star Wars and beyond.

Book News

TheForce.Net has interviews with Ultimate Star Wars authors Tricia Barr and Adam Bray.
Adam Bray also did a quick write-up for StarWars.com on Ultimate Star Wars.
And via Jedi-Bibliothek, there are some new DK titles for December with The Force Awakens in the title. This will certainly help us figure out that 20+ book equation. Among the titles revealed are a new visual dictionary, cross-sections, two sticker books and a kid’s book. While the last three are a bust, a new visual dictionary and cross-sections book on The Force Awakens will be very very cool.
Star Wars Bookworms Episode 41 includes interviews with Star Wars authors Christie Golden, John Jackson Miller, James Luceno and Jeffrey Brown.
Aside from Paul S. Kemp‘s new Star Wars novel Lords of the Sith, you can check out the eBook version of Blackguards for a new Egil & Nix short story by Paul.
