Thrawn – The Manga Vol. 1 (Random House Worlds – ISBN 979-8-217-37606-3) The official manga adaptation of the New York Times bestselling novel Thrawn by Timothy Zahn. Grand Admiral Thrawn’s legend begins far from the Empire, deep within the enigmatic Chiss Ascendancy.

Star Pilots: A History of Space Combat by Dr. Chris Kempshall (Dorling Kindersley – ISBN 978-0-241-78516-4) Wedge Antilles – hero, warrior, star pilot. The only rebel to face two Death Stars and live to tell the tale. Wedge confronted death countless times, in battles large and small, where split-second decisions often meant the difference between survival and a fiery demise. Now, he tells his story, and those of the brave pilots he served with and elite enemies he fought against. Aided by unsealed archives from the New Republic, and unreleased interviews of Imperial and Alliance veterans, Antilles gives the definitive account of what it was to fight the Galactic Civil War from the cockpit of a starfighter. The ships, tactics, and weapons, but also the quiet times and camaraderie, the moments of fear and despair, the thrill of victory and the aching loss of friends. This is the untold story of the galaxy’s star pilots. Available from Amazon UK and preorder from Amazon US Limited Edition copies available from Inkstone Books |
