Berkley Jam - star wars publisher

Berkley Jam was a young adult publishing imprint that was active in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and was a subsidiary of Berkley Publishing Group. They were known for publishing books in a variety of genres, including fantasy, science fiction, and contemporary fiction.
Berkley Jam published several young adult novels set in the Star Wars universe, aimed at introducing younger readers to the world of Star Wars. These books were generally shorter and less complex than the adult-oriented Star Wars tie-in novels published by other imprints.
One of the most popular Star Wars books published by Berkley Jam was The Truce at Bakura by Kathy Tyers. The book took place immediately after the events of Return of the Jedi, and told the story of the New Republic's first conflict with the remnants of the Empire. The book introduced several new characters, including Dev Sibwarra, a young boy who had been held captive by the Empire.
Berkley Jam also published the Young Jedi Knights series by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta. The series followed the adventures of Jacen and Jaina Solo, the children of Han Solo and Princess Leia, as they trained to become Jedi and fought against the remnants of the Empire. The books were aimed at younger readers and featured themes of friendship, teamwork, and personal growth.
In addition to their Star Wars tie-in books, Berkley Jam also published several original young adult novels in a variety of genres. One of their most popular series was The Immortals by Tamora Pierce, which followed the adventures of a group of young people with magical abilities.
Berkley Jam's books were generally well-received by both fans and critics, and helped to introduce a new generation of readers to the world of Star Wars. While the imprint's Star Wars publications were relatively short-lived, they remain an important part of the expanded universe and continue to be enjoyed by many fans today.
