In honor of NYCC, Random House Worlds Senior Editor, Tom Hoeler, shared the introduction of Alexander Freed's upcoming novel The Mask of Fear.
Key takeaways:
Rather than beginning with a classic crawl, Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear begins with two famous quotes
The end of Palpatine’s speech to create the Empire is combined with Padmé’s horrified response to set the tone for the novel
Looking ahead:
Advanced copies of The Mask of Fear are available at the Penguin Random House Worlds Booth this weekend for New York Comic Con
The book will officially be released on February 25th, 2025
