Some new marketing copy has appeared on the on-line catalog Edelweiss for James Luceno’s new book Star Wars: Tarkin.

Summary:

It’s an all-new Star Wars galaxy going forward-an exciting new era of storytelling. Here is the story of the one that even Darth Vader answers to: Tarkin.

“Governor Tarkin, I should have expected to find you holding Vader’s leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.”-Princess Leia

Grand Moff Tarkin-the man who controlled the Death Star and ordered the destruction of Alderaan. The man who even the dreaded Darth Vader obeyed. At long last, as the true story of the Star Wars galaxy continues to unfold, Tarkin’s tale now comes to light!

Additional marketing copy:

BRAND-NEW ERA IN STAR WARS STORYTELLING: With the creation of the Disney/Lucasfilm Story Group, all Star Wars fiction—movies, television, video games, books, comics—will now share equally in the design and development of the Star Wars galaxy. Every new novel will be a true part of official Star Wars continuity!

DIRECT FROM THE MOVIES: Grand Moff Tarkin, played in the original classic film by Peter Cushing, was as evil and formidable a villain as Darth Vader. Star Wars: Tarkin gives him his own spotlight at last! Some of the most successful Star Wars novels of the recent past have been similar “character” entries, such as Darth Plagueis.

PERFECT ENTRY FOR NEW STAR WARS READERS: You don’t have to know anything about Star Wars—new or old—to enjoy this exciting new novel.

FAN FAVORITE AUTHOR: James Luceno is particularly popular among Star Wars fans, especially for his novels Star Wars: Darth Plagueis and Star Wars: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader. He brings evil to living, breathing, full life as few others can!

REVEALS KEY PIECES OF THE STAR WARS MYTHOLOGY: James Luceno does for Grand Moff Tarkin what he did for Darth Plagueis: brings a major Star Wars film character to full life and, in so doing, provides key pieces of the all-new mythology of the Star Wars galaxy.

Tarkin is due out November 4, 2014. Stay tuned for more updates on this book as it gets closer to release.
