The first thing that goes into my mind is that it's a preview of the Wraith Squadron novel and the Wraith Squadron novel is going to be the first in a series.

Perhaps they could make a larger series out of loosely tied individual novels, duologies and trilogies,
with the Wraith Squadron novel leading the way, but assuming that this is indeed post-FotJ, I expect
myself another, shorter, Denning led - or fully Denning written like DN - series whose seeds are sowed
in later FotJ.

There are already things that seem likely to carry beyond FotJ, like the Ben&Vestara -romance - all but
confirmed to run for decades based on Ben's earlier vision - but Fett's appearance in FotJ might herald a
Jedi vs Mando -plot to post-FotJ, and the Lecersen&Treen -plot might, after Conviction, go into hibernation
for another series to use it. The blurbs for the two last novels are, after all, silent about it.

The excerpt being in Apocalypse could hint towards "to be continued... in the excerpt starting on next page!" -style ending for FotJ.
A TOR series excerpt could be in any SW novel, and considering it's likely launch date during the end of this year, I would try to put
an excerpt in a novel that will be published around the turn of the year.

I would wait the decision on a TOR novel series until it is seen how well the game does and would instead push out a stand-alone
TOR novel after the Revan novel.

I think that's speculation still... The only thing I recall Kemp saying is that he doesn't want to use big established movie characters in
large roles in his novels. Restricts his freedom unlike original or little used characters or something like that.
