Is there a possibility of you writing any post Legacy of the Force novels? Traitor is by far my favorite Star Wars novel so I would like to see more books like that.

Or maybe a novel set between The New Jedi Order and The Dark Nest trilogy, about Jacen's five year journey.

Hey, Mr. Stover. This is Arturo_Kollberg from earlier, but I forgot the login info for that account, so here I am. >_> Having recommended Heroes Die to a friend and reread it myself, it occurred to me that it would make a pretty damn good movie. I mean, it is a movie already. Ever try to pitch the book as a screenplay? Sure, the irony would be horrible, but hell, money. *shrug*

I have two more questions. Any progress on the "Lemme write the final story of the Big 3!" front? Also, who's your candidate for President this year? That's including people who lost the nomination.

This is a two-part question:

You have basically written in a few different era's, (counting your upcoming novel):
1) Shatterpoint - Clone Wars
2) Revenge of the Sith - Rise of the Empire
3) Luke and the Shadows of Mindor - New Republic
4) Traitor - NJO

And each novel basically revolves around one character:
1) Shatterpoint - Mace
2) Revenge - Anakin
3) Luke - Luke
4) Traitor - Jacen

So my questions are:
1) Which era do you like writing in best?
2) Which character did you like writing about best?

I agree that this would be a very interesting read, especially from one such as yourself Mr. Stover. happy

I am eagerly awaiting Luke and the Shadows of Mindor.

So I guess the Oct 14th release date is confirmed, eh ?

Also, Amazon has the page count at 368 pages.

I was referring to CBK, not Shadows of Mindor. Sorry if that wasnt clear in my post.

Amazon has the CBK blurb up:
In Heroes Die and Blade of Tyshalle, Matthew Stover created a new kind of fantasy novel, and a new kind of hero to go with it: Caine, a street thug turned superstar, battling in a future where reality shows take place in another dimension, on a world where magic exists and gods are up close and personal. In that beautiful, savage land, Caine is an assassin without peer, a living legend born from one of the highest-rated reality shows ever made. That season, Caine almost single-handedly defeated–and all but exterminated–the fiercest of all tribes: the Black Knives. But the shocking truth of what really took place during that blood-drenched adventure has never been revealed . . . until now.

Thirty years later, Caine returns to the scene of his greatest triumph–some would say greatest crime–at the request of his adopted brother Orbek, the last of the true Black Knives. But where Caine goes, danger follows, and he soon finds himself back in familiar territory: fighting for his life against impossible odds, with the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance.

Just the way Caine likes it.

Thanks for the plug, but I think this qualifies as spam.

Not to mention that I strongly prefer people to purchase the actual novel, as I get no royalties on the sale of ARCs.

Definitely spam, and it's gone now. Sorry about that!

Hey Matt, a quick question regarding that blurb. I know it's inconsequential, and furthermore that authors don't write the blurbs, but out of curiosity, didn't you say in HD that Last Stand at Ceraeno is considered to be Caine's greatest Adventure?
