Out today! Star Wars: The High Republic – Tempest Breaker script book!
Plus, a surprise comic collection from Dark Horse!
New releases are like buses! You wait for ages for one, and then two come along at once.
With all the recent talk about Gwenpool (out tomorrow, blatant plug fans), I mustn't forget about the Star Wars: The High Republic – Tempest Breaker script book, which hits bookstores today!
Featuring the full recording script for the full-cast drama, the script book is perfect for those who want to stay up-to-date with the ongoing High Republic story but don't get on with audio!
And if you already downloaded the audio drama (thank you!), it's a chance to see how we put it all together, reading along with the actors!
Lourna Dee is not a villain. She’s not a hero. She’s a survivor. The former Tempest Runner, wanted by both her Nihil allies and the Republic, has evaded imprisonment and death from both groups more times than she can count. But even Lourna cannot outrun the mysterious blight that devours everything wherever it appears. And Marchion Ro, the Eye of the Nihil, has announced that only he knows the secret to stopping it.
Desperate, the Republic and Jedi turn to Lourna with an offer: help the Jedi stop the blight, and in return, Lourna will have a clean slate and the chance to decide her own future.
Teamed with Avar Kriss and Keeve Trennis, the same Jedi who once hunted her, Lourna leads the search for the Nihil’s chief scientist, Baron Boolan, the only being who may have answers to the mystery of the blight, as well as Marchion Ro’s true plans.
Lourna weighs the Republic’s offer of true freedom against her own instincts for survival as her team heads deeper into Nihil territory, straight toward the very dangers Lourna has worked for so long to elude. And when the opportunity arises to face off against Marchion Ro himself, even Lourna Dee may be willing to sacrifice everything to fulfil a quest for revenge.
The drama leads directly into the current Fear of the Jedi mini-series, laying the groundwork for both Lourna Dee's and Keeve Trennis' eventual fates in a galaxy far, far away.

CRASH ZONED!
I had a surprise yesterday when another High Republic book arrived, one I didn't even know was coming out!
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures - Crash Zone collects the Phase Three Dark Horse one shot comics by Daniel José Older, Rachele Aragno, Nick Brokensire and a host of other incredible artists.
The new volume also includes the High Republic Adventures 2025 Annual which featured Brothers and Sisters, my Baron Boolan short story alongside other tales by the other High Republic writers and artists.
A glimpse inside at Brothers and Sisters with art by Nick Brokenshire, coloured by Vladimir Popov and letters by Tyler Smith & Bobby Bradford
Phew! That's a lot of story!
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, FOLKS
Thanks for putting up with my constant plugs in your inbox!
In case you've missed me blathering on about it for WEEKS, Gwenpool #1 hits tomorrow, so I'll be back with an exclusive treat for my lovely subscribers – the character studies artist Stefano Nesi's produced when he first started work on the mini-series.
They're so cool!
Until then, look after yourself and each other!
