About this listen
The first novel in a new trilogy starring veteran New Republic pilots!
On the verge 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 Squad 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.

It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars. On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and E’ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds’ hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems.

Story
On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has not been apprenticed long to Qui-Gon Jinn, and he is chafing at Qui-Gon's training style: all meditation, no action. Obi-Wan yearns to prove himself on a mission, but when he and Qui-Gon are finally set to leave on an assignment, Qui-Gon is nowhere to be found. Angered by his master's abandonment, Obi-Wan sets out on the mission alone, determined to prove himself.

Another great Star Wars novel
I loved from beginning to end ... especially the end! The narrator does a great job with all of the personalities and voices and the audio drama sound effects keep you in the universe.

A really good introductio to endearing characters
I really enjoyed this book. Excellent introduction to a great new group of characters. Most of the lead characters are female and that is just AMAZING. Love female lead characters, both protagonist and antagonist.
Saskia Maarleveld does an excellent job breathing life into all the characters. Very well done!
I did NOT enjoy all the non-star wars music in the audio presentation. Every time a piece of music came on that wasn't Star Wars it took me right out of the book. Please, only use John Williams or Kevin Kiner score cues.

Fantastic story, narration and dramatization
The 1st book makes me really look forward to listening to the rest of the series 😃
I loved how during the main space battle each pilot had their own background music which amplified their unique character traits
Beautifully narrated. I’m used to Mark Thompson’s Star Wars narration. But after the first listen I got accustomed to this narrator’s performance & began really enjoying it ♥️

great storyline, could have plot switch indicators
great storyline. It would have been nice to have indicators of when plot lines were being switched. That's not a big deal when one is reading but sometimes when listening I had these "wait, what?" moments and had to rewind a bit.

It's Star Wars!
Some familiar stuff for fans of the entire Star Wars universe, not just the saga movies. Hera from Rebels is here, and Operation Cinder introduced in the Battlefront 2 video game play prevelent roles here.
