Head on over to Nerdist for their exclusive look at an excerpt (along with words from author Alex Segura) from the new Star Wars: Poe Dameron: Free Fall young adult novel from Disney Publishing that was announced back in January.
IGN debuted the first chapter from the book in May.
This Poe-centered young adult novel (352 pages) is scheduled to be released later this summer on August 4 and can be pre-ordered right here.
Poe Dameron wants adventure. The teenager is ready to leave Yavin 4 and his father behind and fly free. But what kind of decisions will he make in order to leave his home? Alex Segura’s upcoming young adult novel Poe Dameron: Free Fall explores the past of the suave, hotshot X-wing pilot we know from the Star Wars sequel trilogy. We got the tiniest glimpse into Poe’s history when he ran into Zorii Bliss in The Rise of Skywalker, but it only left us with more questions. The kind of questions Free Fall will answer. And the exclusive excerpt we have to share focuses on Poe taking a big step towards his future.
Author Alex Segura tells Nerdist about the excerpt, “This is a key, early turning point in the book and for Poe in general. We meet the crew he signs up with, and get a sense of the internal conflict he’ll be facing for the first part of the novel. Did he do the wrong thing in his desperate quest to get off-planet and away from his father? Has he gone too far? Who are these mysterious people he has decided to team up with on a whim? It was a ton of fun to create and fill out the cast that rode along with Poe and Zorii, and this is your first glimpse at some of the most important characters in the novel.”
