"Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was announced last week. It's a new project Lucasfilm will be working on this fall that will include several new children's activity books, comics, and novels that all take place right after Return of the Jedi and bridge the gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Today, one of the novels in that project, Aftermath, was announced. Aftermath is supposed to be the first in a trilogy of novels that take place right after the Battle of Endor and explain the next step for the galaxy. Aftermath is set to release on September 4, 2015. Here's the description for it (taken from Wookieepedia):

"The second Death Star is destroyed. The Emperor and his powerful enforcer, Darth Vader, are rumored to be dead. The Galactic Empire is in chaos.  Across the galaxy, some systems celebrate, while in others Imperial factions tighten their grip. Optimism and fear reign side by side. And while the Rebel Alliance engages the fractured forces of the Empire, a lone Rebel scout uncovers a secret Imperial meeting..."''

Sounds like it's going to be an interesting novel. This is going to be a must-have for Star Wars readers, especially those who like the Original Trilogy and the post-Return of the Jedi novels.
