Showing up in stores tomorrow are two Timothy Zahn books. The first, Allegiance features the original trilogy cast, Mara Jade, Vader, and some new characters, in a pre-ESB story. You can find out more about this book by checking out our review on a special micro-cast of The Force-Cast this Wednesday.

The second book is the paperback edition of Outbound Flight. First mentioned in the Thrawn Trilogy, Outbound Flight tells the tale of an ill-fated long-range Jedi exploratory mission led by Jorus C'baoth. This book is the prequel to the previously published Survivor's Quest.
