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.
