The aces of the New Republic have one final chance to defeat the
darkness of Shadow Wing in this thrilling conclusion to the Star
Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy! In the wake of Yrica Quell's
shocking decision-and one of the fiercest battles of their
lives-the remnants of Alphabet Squadron seek answers and closure
across a galaxy whose old war scars are threatening to reopen.
Soran Keize has returned to the tip of Shadow Wing's spear.
Operation Cinder, the terrifying protocol of planetary
extermination that began in the twilight of the Imperial era, burns
throughout the galaxy. Shadow Wing is no longer wounded prey
fleeing the hunters of the New Republic. With its leader, its
strength has returned, and its Star Destroyers and TIE squadrons
lurk in the darkness between stars, carrying out the fallen
Emperor's final edict of destruction-as well as another, stranger
mission, one Keize has championed not for the dying Empire, but for
its loyal soldiers. Alphabet Squadron's ships are as ramshackle and
damaged as their spirits, but they've always had one another. Now,
as they face the might of Keize's reborn juggernaut, they aren't
sure they even have that. How do you catch a shadow? How do you
kill it? And when you're finally victorious, who pays the price?
The Sunday Times Bestseller Go beyond the film with a novelization
featuring new scenes and expanded material. As the shadows of the
Empire loom ever larger across the galaxy, so do deeply troubling
rumors. The Rebellion has learned of a sinister Imperial plot to
bring entire worlds to their knees. Deep in Empire-dominated space,
a machine of unimaginable destructive power is nearing completion.
A weapon too terrifying to contemplate . . . and a threat that may
be too great to overcome. If the worlds at the Empire's mercy stand
any chance, it lies with an unlikely band of allies: Jyn Erso, a
resourceful young woman seeking vengeance; Cassian Andor, a
war-weary rebel commander; Bodhi Rook, a defector from the Empire's
military; Chirrut Imwe, a blind holy man and his crack-shot
companion, Baze Malbus; and K-2SO, a deadly Imperial droid turned
against its former masters. In their hands rests the new hope that
could turn the tide toward a crucial Rebellion victory-if only they
can capture the plans to the Empire's new weapon. But even as they
race toward their dangerous goal, the specter of their ultimate
enemy-a monstrous world unto itself-darkens the skies. Waiting to
herald the Empire's brutal reign with a burst of annihilation
worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.
The first novel in a new trilogy starring veteran New Republic
pilots! On the brink of victory in a brutal war, five New Republic
pilots transform from hunted to hunters in this epic Star Wars
adventure. Set after Return of the Jedi, Alphabet Squadron follows
a unique team, each flying a different class of starfighter as they
struggle to end their war once and for all. The Emperor is dead.
His final weapon has been destroyed. The Imperial Army is in
disarray. In the aftermath, Yrica Quell is just one of thousands of
defectors from her former cause living in a deserters'
shantytown-until she is selected to join Alphabet Squadron. Cobbled
together from an eclectic assortment of pilots and starfighters,
the five members of Alphabet are tasked by New Republic general
Hera Syndulla herself. Like Yrica, each is a talented pilot
struggling to find their place in a changing galaxy. Their mission:
to track down and destroy the mysterious Shadow Wing, a lethal
force of TIE fighters exacting bloody, reckless vengeance in the
twilight of their reign. The newly formed unit embodies the heart
and soul of the Rebellion: ragtag, resourceful, scrappy, and
emboldened by their most audacious victory in decades. But going
from underdog rebels to celebrated heroes isn't as easy as it
seems, and their inner demons threaten them as much as their
enemies among the stars. The wayward warriors of Alphabet Squadron
will have to learn to fly together if they want to protect the new
era of peace they've fought so hard to achieve. Part of a Marvel
and Del Rey crossover event, Alphabet Squadron is the counterpart
to Marvel's TIE Fighter miniseries, which follows the exploits of
Shadow Wing as they scheme to thwart the New Republic.
The bravest soldiers. The toughest warriors. The ultimate
survivors. Among the stars and across the vast expanses of space,
the Galactic Civil War rages. On the battlefields of multiple
worlds in the Mid Rim, legions of ruthless stormtroopers-bent on
crushing resistance to the Empire wherever it arises-are waging
close and brutal combat against an armada of freedom fighters. In
the streets and alleys of ravaged cities, the front-line forces of
the Rebel Alliance are taking the fight to the enemy, pushing
deeper into Imperial territory and grappling with the savage
flesh-and-blood realities of war on the ground. Leading the charge
are the soldiers-men and women, human and nonhuman-of the
Sixty-First Mobile Infantry, better known as Twilight Company.
Hard-bitten, war-weary, and ferociously loyal to one another, the
members of this renegade outfit doggedly survive where others
perish, and defiance is their most powerful weapon against the
deadliest odds. When orders come down for the rebels to fall back
in the face of superior opposition numbers and firepower, Twilight
reluctantly complies. Then an unlikely ally radically changes the
strategic equation-and gives the Alliance's hardest-fighting
warriors a crucial chance to turn retreat into resurgence. Orders
or not, alone and outgunned but unbowed, Twilight Company locks,
loads, and prepares to make its boldest maneuver-trading
down-and-dirty battle in the trenches for a game-changing strike at
the ultimate target: the very heart of the Empire's military
machine.
Alphabet Squadron's hunt for the deadliest TIE fighters in the
galaxy continues in this Star Wars adventure! News of the New
Republic's victory still reverberates through the galaxy. In its
wake, the capital ships of the newly legitimized galactic
government journey to the farthest stars, seeking out and crushing
the remnants of imperial tyranny. But some old ghosts are harder to
banish than others. And none are more dangerous than Shadow Wing.
Yrica Quell's ragtag Alphabet Squadron still leads the search for
Shadow Wing, but they're no closer to their goal-and the pressure
to find their quarry before it's too late has begun to shake them
apart. Determined to finish the fight once and for all, Quell works
with New Republic Intelligence's contentious Caern Adan and the
legendary General Hera Syndulla to prepare the riskiest gambit of
her starfighting career-a trap for Shadow Wing that could finish
the chase once and for all. But in the darkness, their enemy has
evolved. Soran Keize, last of the Imperial aces, has stepped into
the power vacuum at the head of Shadow Wing, reinvigorating the
faltering unit in their hour of need. Once adrift in the
aftershocks of the war, Keize has found meaning again, leading the
lost soldiers of his unit through to safety. The only thing
standing in his way? The most mismatched squadron in the New
Republic Navy, led by his former mentee: the traitor Yrica Quell.
