These guys are the real deal and the first depiction of fully skilled Imperial pilots. In the midst of all this, Hera Syndulla leads a campaign to seize the system and lure the infamous Shadow Wing TIE Squadron out of hiding. She is blackmailed by Caern Adan, a New Republic agent who knows her secret. Okay, when I say responsible I mean she did nothing to stop it and carried out the orders to destroy Narconis.

Yrica is responsible for Operation: Cinder, a contingency destruction plan that was implemented in the aftermath of Palpatine’s death. The narrative switches between the good guys and bad guys very seamlessly and I quickly took a liking to Yrica Quell arguably the main character of the novel. Troithe is the main world focused on and it’s kind of a Coruscant wannabe. Cerebon is instead a massive black hole, and Freed did his homework, as a black hole gives off enough heat for planets to support life, (at least its been theorized to). One of the cool things about this tale is they are fighting for the Ceberon system and the planets that support life do not revolve around a star. Star Wars: Shadow Fall | By Alexander Freed It starts off with a space battle, and if you are a junkie for space fights – this book is for you. However, the sequel, Shadow Fall exceeded my expectations. However, I didn’t feel that it was an acceptable substitution. When I first read Alexander Freed’s Alphabet Squadron the first book in this series, I felt it was a nice nod to the X-Wing novels of Legends.
