I really enjoyed this book and love meeting new Star Wars characters. No heroes, just the mission, and all those who live on for the next one. … a lesson maybe some fans could learn from…Īlphabet Squadron doesn’t have a lot of “fun” moments but really fits MUCH more in line with the Rogue One and Battlefront mentality. I think being the first books NOT dealing with the Big Three they probably were able to take more chances and not take things so seriously. Looking back on the Legends stories now, the X-Wing books had a lot of fun with their stories. In my opinion, Alphabet Squadron sits up there in quality among those stories but also separates itself in tone and stylistically. When Alphabet Squadron was announced, I was happy for a “space battle” type book in canon but also VERY aware of the high bar set by those legends books. In the Legends days, the Rogue Squadron and Wraith Squadron books were definitely VERY HIGH on my personal favorite lists. In fact, even if you hadn’t read either of those books I think you can kind of take the tone of Rogue One and understand the tone of his writing in these books.Īlso, I’m a fan of Michael Stackpole and Aaron Allston. “You know your squadron will fight, but will they fight for you?” – Hera SyndullaĪs a fan of Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company and the novelization of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story I kinda already knew that but here we are.
