"A New Dawn" Excerpt

I haven't had the chance to go through it yet, but it looks like the first 70 pages of the first book from the new EU has been released.

And we risk all that is pure..." - Angela & Jeff van Dyck, Forever (Rome: Total War)

The war continues on..." - Angela & Jeff van Dyck, We Are All One (Medieval 2: Total War)

It's pretty disappointing to see a "professional" cover with artwork I did for my own characters when I was in high school. I'm scared to read the actual story. :lol:

Man I gotta see if I can find it.

The problem clearly is that the characters are from the upcoming Star Wars Rebels cartoon, so they have to half-realistic for the characters to even look human, and half-cartoon character for the characters to even be recognizable.

Having read it, I've got to say 'not bad' I find it amusing that both the first novels of the old EU (Splinter of the Mind's Eye) and the new one have the evils of mine overseers as a theme.
