So it seems as if right after we got a nice view of the back cover and a plot description for Fate of the Jedi: Backlash, we get word that Aaron Allson's 2nd entry in to the series may be delayed again by another month.

From Sue Rostoni at the SW.com boards while answering a question as to the novel's status:

"No, Backlash isn't finished yet. We're going to have to delay it a month, probably."

We can only guess that this has to do with Mr. Allston still recovering from his heart attack and subsequent surgery. We wish him continued good health during his recovery.

The most recent release date listed for Backlash, book 5 in the hardcover Fate of the Jedi series, was March 9, 2010. Looks like April will be the release month now.


Big thanks again to our friend Ewan of SWBooks.co.uk for the news!
