Star Wars - Battlefront II: Inferno Squad

 


The events of this book take place immediately following the Rebel Alliance's successful destruction of the Death Star in A New Hope.  Iden Versio, a TIE fighter pilot stationed on the Death Star, survives the explosion as she was flying in her TIE at the time. Her father, a powerful Imperial military commander, realizes the Rebel Alliance is growing in strength following the attack on the Death Star. In response, he creates Inferno Squad, a group of Imperial military members who go undercover to infiltrate the Dreamers, a group of extreme rebels following in the steps of Saw Gerrera. Of course, difficult decisions have to be made to keep their cover, including injuring and killing other Imperial members. After learning that the Dreamer's informant is a former Governor and his step-daughter, the book concludes with Inferno Squad killing the remaining members of the Dreamers and beginning their next mission.

Of interest, the book is associated with the 2017 video game Star Wars: Battlefront II. The events of the book take place prior to the events of the game. I've never played the game but it is on my radar after reading the book.
