James Luceno
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Luceno (born in 1947) is the New York Times bestselling author of three Star Wars: The New Jedi Order novels, Agents of Chaos: Hero's Trial, Agents of Chaos: Jedi Eclipse and The Unifying Force. He also wrote the eBook Darth Maul: Saboteur. This ebook was effectively a prologue to his prequel trilogy novel, set directly before The Phantom Menace, called Cloak of Deception.
He is also the author of the new Web Warrior series and co-author of the popular Robotech novelization series with his close friend, the late Brian Daley. The pair wrote under the pseudonym Jack McKinney. He wrote a tribute to Daley which is posted on Daley's website along with photos of the two of them. Daley and Luceno were also amongst a team of writers for the 1986 television cartoon series The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers.
Luceno wrote the film adaptations for The Shadow and The Mask of Zorro. He lives in Annapolis, Maryland with his wife and children.
His latest novels within the Star Wars universe include Labyrinth of Evil and Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader.
In an interview with Star Wars Insider magazine, Luceno said that he would like to write a future novel dealing with the search for immortality that both Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Plagueis embarked upon in their own separate ways. However, in a talk show interview in February, 2007, [1] he indicated that the novel was currently on hold due to Expanded Universe continuity concerns.
