Spoiler: Publisher's Summary

The New York Times best-selling series is coming to an epic conclusion-witness the beginning of the end!
Written by one of the original High Republic story architects and the #1 New York Times best-selling author of Star Wars: The High Republic: Into the Dark, Star Wars: Lost Stars, and the upcoming original X-Files novel, Perihelion. This sci-fi mystery is, at its heart, about the importance of found families and overcoming great odds.
As several crises all hurtle toward their thrilling and shocking conclusions, fan-favorite Jedi Knights and Padawans must band together to save the galaxy from the Nihil, the Nameless, and perhaps worst of all, a mysterious blight that turns everything in its path to dust and is seemingly impossible to stop.

No cover yet.

 

So if this is coming out April 2025 I'm assuming the final adult novel will be summer 2025.

 

For UK posters, SpeedyHen has this listed.

Ah There here

 

I've been reading the YA and Middle Grade novels on Hoopla this phase. Saving me money!

 

Spoiler

Wel, Sith holocrons are usually universal problem-solvers, so seems fitting that one will be used for the Blight problem as well.

Finally Nan will have a new solo mission, sadly she did not do much since Into the Dark. Like her new dynamic with Marchion, she understands him rather well and he is surprisingly polite to her.

 

Why is this so obscenely expensive?

 

That's a really cool cover.

It is?

 

Yep, listed on Amazon for over 40AUD when these books are normally between 20-30AUD. Tears of the Nameless is 26AUD for comparison.

Nope.

 

Possibly, although Tears of the Nameless is still there for 26AUD so would be odd if it was a new book issue.

 

How big is it? (hardback?)

 

Sigh, Darth SpeedyHen has failed me.

...Steps may have to be taken.

 

The last link told me it was $12 on Kobo and the first link says $20. Weird. Must be the tariffs.

 

Tariffs that apply to it but not Tears of the Nameless?

 

Nope, likely to issue commands to Darth SciFier soon.

 

Well, if Tears is in stock locally it wouldn't be effected by tariffs imposed after it was imported.

 

They're both in stock on Amazon AU at different prices, which is what prompted my original question. Into the Light was released April 1 so would already have been imported prior to that.

 

I have it i just havent started

 

SpeedyHen now lists the release as 24 April 2025.

 

its pretty good so far
