Leia’s Ready for Action

Earlier today, io9 premiered our first look at the cover for Martha Wells’ Leia novel, Star Wars: Empire and Rebellion: Razor’s Edge. First announced at Celebration VI, the book is now scheduled for an October 15, 2013, release date.

With some great action-heroine Leia in Brian Wood’s Star Wars comic for Dark Horse, I’m excited for more take-charge Princess in prose this fall.
