About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Go beyond the film that introduced Star Wars fans to Cassian Andor with this novelization featuring new scenes and expanded material.
“One of the best movie adaptations yet.”—Cinelinx
As the shadows of the Empire loom ever larger across the galaxy, so do deeply troubling rumors. The Rebellion has learned of a sinister Imperial plot to bring entire worlds to their knees. Deep in Empire-dominated space, a machine of unimaginable destructive power is nearing completion. A weapon too terrifying to contemplate . . . and a threat that may be too great to overcome.
If the worlds at the Empire’s mercy stand any chance, it lies with an unlikely band of allies: Jyn Erso, a resourceful young woman seeking vengeance; Cassian Andor, a war-weary rebel commander; Bodhi Rook, a defector from the Empire’s military; Chirrut Îmwe, a blind holy man and his crack-shot companion, Baze Malbus; and K-2SO, a deadly Imperial droid turned against its former masters. In their hands rests the new hope that could turn the tide toward a crucial Rebellion victory—if only they can capture the plans to the Empire’s new weapon.
But even as they race toward their dangerous goal, the specter of their ultimate enemy—a monstrous world unto itself—darkens the skies, waiting to herald the Empire’s brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.

Fantastic. Having watched the movie many times, this book lived up to all my expectations and more. It goes into details about characters that you may not see a lot of in the movie. The movie was very fast-paced, not leaving a lot of time for character development, but this book did everything the movie didn't. So much dialog, and I learned more about the story. Awesome book.

I am now a fan of Alexander Freed. This author knows how to write. His descriptions put you right in the middle of the action. Excellent pace and depth. I wish Rogue One was about another 5 or 6 chapters with as good a read as Alexander crafts. I couldn't get enough of this book and these characters and Alexander's writing. This book blows away the film. The movie races at breakneck speed, flying past any feelings or detail. Not so with this book. Now I have to get all of Alexander's books.
