Aaron Allston
Interview |
Suvudu.com has landed an interview with Aaron Allston about
Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Conviction. However, in the interview Aaron talked
briefly about a new novel featuring the Wraith Squadron.
Let’s talk about the new novel featuring the Wraith Squadron. I know
the book isn’t scheduled for publication until 2012, but can you give us just a
little information about that?
Sure. Most of the action takes place in the same approximate period as
Fate of the Jedi, but there are critical chapters that revisit the
Wraiths in earlier years, starting just after they made the jump to become an
Intelligence unit. The current-era story reunites some of the longtime Wraiths,
introduces new ones, and even has second-generation Wraiths.
Not every subplot that arose in Fate of the Jedi will have been
resolved by that series’ end, and it’s up to the Wraiths to clean up a big mess
left behind. That’s about all I’m willing to say at this time.
Except that I grew up in the 1960s, the Golden Age of movie and TV spies —
The Man From U.N.C.L.E., James Bond, Mission: Impossible,
Derek Flint, The Wild, Wild West, countless others. They’re with me
still, occupying a psychotic little wing of my brain. And if you don’t hear some
of those theme tunes in your head when you’re reading the new Wraith Squadron
novel, I haven’t done my job.
Be sure to read the entire interview!
