Flint''s lost Star Wars novel, commissioned and approved by Lucasfilm, and set to be released in 1993, disappeared without a trace. For many years fans wondered what became of the book and why it was never published, and so it was chalked up to yet another tragic "lostworlds" story that no one would ever get to read or enjoy... or so we thought! Kenneth C. Flint''s complete novel The Heart of the Jedi has at last been unearthed! Published on StarWarsTimeline.net, it has been edited to fit into the existing Expanded Universe, taking place a short time after The Truce at Bakura and the end of issue #107 of the Marvel series, but before the X-Wing comic-book series. Reprinted here in paperback for the first time, this is a non-profit listing for private collectors only. The downloadable PDF is freely available here: http://www.starwarstimeline.net/The%20Heart%20of%20the%20Jedi.htm Find other books by Kenneth Flint at: http://www.amazon.com/Kenneth-C.-Flint/e/B001HPFIWC *** Note: I''d like to clear a few things up. This is an unofficial fan printing of an unofficial fan story. IE: Bootleg Fanfiction. Disney owns Star Wars©, not The Heart of the Jedi. I am not making money off this venture. This is being printed AT COST only. The price paid is merely to Amazon for printing charges. There was a fan printing briefly available in 2015. I, and most others, missed that one. Some time ago, I decided I wanted a copy of "The Heart of the Jedi" for my bookshelf. I downloaded the PDF, formatted it for paperback, sized it so it would fit in with other MMPs, and did some Photoshop work for a Batam-era appropriate cover. I put it on Amazon, ordered my copy, and was done. Then, quite frankly, I forgot about it. The increase in copies sold has lead to a few rumors. I''d like to address some of them: The increase in copies sold has lead to a few rumors. I''d like to address some of them: I am not Ken Flint. I am not Joe Bongiorno. I am not affiliated with Disney. This book is not outselling Disney Star Wars. The way the Amazon Ranking algorithm works is based on sales per hour, not lifetime sales. I am not Timothy Zahn. I know him. He is an amazing mentor and an inspiration to me. I would never try and sabotage his work or steal his thunder. Everyone go buy Thrawn. I want to say everyone go buy MY book! But at this point, I think anonymity is safer than infamy. EU fans, stop trying to stick a thumb in Disney''s eye. We''re not going to change anything. Disney fans, just ignore the EU fans and let them have their silly little book. Stop tattling to Disney. Finally, I would like to publicly apologize to Ken for any appearance that I might be stealing his work. That was not the intent. --A Star Wars Fan
