His name is Galen Marek in the US version of the novel. I just ran into his vision on Kashyyk.
They didn’t put his surname there, but his first name is indeed Galen so Jacob Nion really is just the german localized version.

Now to stop reading the novel so I won’t spoil the entire story for myself.
I can tell you that the midway twist is an awesome one in any case ^^

Yeah, that would be awesome if you could help us confirm this.

I live in sweden and I bought the book today too.
I don’t know what page number that is and I don’t intend to spoil the entire story for myself so I won’t read more than half the book before I’ve played the game, but if I get the page number (which I couldn’t make out from the picture), I can take a look at my copy too xP

It isn’t a localized version of the book though, so “Galen” definitely isn’t meant to be the swedish word for “Crazy”.

The reason we can have the book at all is because a very big bookstore in our capital city apparently doesn’t care about the street date ;D

That does not look photoshopped. If it is, the guy’s a master. It’s got the same blur and it’s lined up like it was printed by a machine.

Thanks for linking that, I was beginning to wonder if he had a name at all.
