The High Republic phase III publishing programme is heading towards it’s climax and the latest entry in the blockbuster series, Tears of the Nameless from George Mann, releases September 24th. Collider have an exclusive excerpt from the upcoming book to share.
Collider is thrilled to, once again, partner with Disney Books on an exclusive excerpt from an upcoming High Republic novel. This time, we’re giving fans an early peek into the pages of George Mann‘s upcoming Young Adult novel Tears of the Nameless.
In quotes shared with Collider for this exclusive, Mann spoke about how this mission will affect Reath, especially as he reunites with his former Master, saying, “What I really tried to do with Tears of the Nameless was dig deep into the characters and their journeys. To explore the fallout of everything that’s been going on since the fall of Starlight Beacon on these young people, the impact it’s had on their outlooks and beliefs, how it challenges and shapes them for what comes next. Reath’s relationships with Azlin and Cohmac are at the core of this.” He went on to say:
“Cohmac let him down badly when he fled the Order, and Azlin is someone who cannot be trusted, who’s committed terrible atrocities, but also seems to speak more sense to Reath than most. How does that affect Reath? Exploring that was one of my favourite things about the writing of the book, and I’m looking forward to seeing what readers make of it all. Plus, there’s the character of Sicarus, one of Boolan’s ‘Children’, who was such a difficult character to write, because of what he’s been through and is going through, but also feels very central to the unfolding themes of the book. We’re going to some dark, difficult places here, but as always with Star Wars, there’s a foundation of light and hope at its core, and I hope people are going to enjoy the ride!”
