In addition to the cover image reveal,  SWTOR.com brought us a great interview with Karpyshyn about the new book.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Here’s a snippet of the interview:

Do you recommend that people finish their storylines in Star Wars: The Old Republic before picking up the book?

Annihilation is set after the events of the class stories in Star Wars: The Old Republic, so there are things that I reference and mention that may serve as spoilers to people who haven’t finished the storylines. The balance of power between the Empire and the Republic has changed quite a bit by the time the class storylines in SWTOR are done, and the galaxy is a very different place.

The main protagonist of your novel is Theron Shan, who was featured in the comic book series, Star Wars: The Old Republic: The Lost Suns. Can you give us a bit of background on him and his relation to the rest of the Star Wars: The Old Republic universe?

Theron is Force and he isn’t a Jedi – he’s actually one of the top field agents for Republic Strategic Information Services. This gives him a slightly different perspective on the galaxy and life in general.

I, for one, am pretty excited about it. I’m a sneak peeks into the book. Maybe we’ll get a couple of bonus chapters like with the last book. We’ll keep you updated!
