The first book is due to release July 26, and LucasArts has now announced that the third and last book in the series, the Swarm War, is set to release this December. From what I've read, this series *SPOILERS*


















Involves a war between the Chiss and the Killik, some kind of swarm/hive mind race of alien beings. Basically from what it sounds like, it's like the Ssi-Ruuk, but better, and more buggy like:






This is the first one's cover.




















Due to release September 25th.








From what I gather, *MORE SPOILERS*




I'm guessing that the younglings get captured and enslaved by the hive mind, and are pitted against the older Jedi. Or so it appears.

At least it's Denning writing it.

And the Luke pic looks pretty good.

WTF? Luke using Force lightning, a trait usually reserved for Sith Lords and Masters?

Ridiculous.

Thus begins the Dark Nest trilogy by author Troy Denning. Here's a first look at the cover art by Cliff Nielsen. Dark Nest I: The Joiner King is slated for paperback release from Del Rey Books on July 26, 2005. And included as a special bonus: the short story Ylesia by Walter Jon Williams, previously only available in ebook format.

SPOILER:


















- The Joiner King

After triumphing in Star Wars: The Unifying Force, the heroes of the New Jedi Order return in a dazzling new adventure!

Luke Skywalker is worried: A handful of Jedi Knights, including his nephew and niece, Jaina and Jacen Solo, have disappeared into the Unknown Regions in response to a strange cry for help that only they could hear. Now the alien Chiss have angrily lodged a formal complaint, accusing the missing Jedi of meddling in a border dispute between the Chiss and an unidentified aggressor.

Luke has no choice but to head to the Unknown Regions for serious damage control. Han and Leia follow, intent on protecting their children from what could be grave danger. But none of them are prepared for what they find when they reach their destination.

A colony of mysterious aliens is expanding toward the edge of Chiss space. The leader of the alien nest is resolute. Adept in the Force, he is drawing old friends to his side, compelling them to join the colony and meld their Force-abilities with his, even if it leads to all-out war. . . .
