The Living Force Drops New Excerpt After Initial Wave of Reviews

The embargo lifted earlier this week on John Jackson Miller's The Living Force, and Random House has used the good buzz built by those positive initial reactions to drop a new excerpt from the book and generate more enthusiasm. The Living Force comes out on April 9, and is now available for pre-order.



The story is set a year before The Phantom Menace, and follows the attempt by the Jedi Order to save an outpost on Kwenn. It features much-recognizable characters like Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi (who star in a little adventure in the excerpt below), but it has the peculiarity that it tells the story from the points of view of all 12 members of the Jedi Council, giving us unique insights into their distinct lines of thinking.



In his review, Nate Manning called it 'the Jedi-centric story we needed', adding that 'it is the ultimate example of comfort reading.' Check it out in full here.



Here is a portion of the excerpt, which is taken from the first chapter of the book, but do head over to EW.com to read the rest:
