According to recent developments James Luceno’s upcoming novel about Darth Plagueis by Del Ray books has been canceled. Luceno has written many Star Wars books like Cloak of Deception, Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, and Labyrinth of Evil among others.
The book was scheduled for release in October 2007 and Del Ray initially decided to put it on hold. Publishers eventually canceled the release since (for the time being) they didn’t want to reveal more information about Emperor Palpaltine’s instructor Darth Plagueis.

Work deadlines and a trip to North Carolina have slowed my work on getting Steve’s Star Wars Timeline up and running with the new structure around here. But as a step towards that goal, I do have a shipping list of recent and upcoming titles available for preview which you can view here.
The list includes the latest comic solicitations as announced by The Official Site:
In the more immediate future, you can look forward to the first Knights of the Old Republic trade paperback to hit shelves on Wednesday. This is a week earlier than listed on Dark Horse’s schedule, but shipping lists for comic retailers seem to indicate it’ll be arriving.
Knights of the Old Republic: Commencement collects issues 1-6 of the monthly series.
