Publisher Description
The aces of the New Republic have one final chance to defeat the darkness of Shadow Wing in this thrilling conclusion to the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy!
In the wake of Yrica Quell’s shocking decision—and one of the fiercest battles of their lives—the remnants of Alphabet Squadron seek answers and closure across a galaxy whose old war scars are threatening to reopen.
Soran Keize has returned to the tip of Shadow Wing’s spear. Operation Cinder, the terrifying protocol of planetary extermination that began in the twilight of the Imperial era, burns throughout the galaxy. Shadow Wing is no longer wounded prey fleeing the hunters of the New Republic. With its leader, its strength has returned, and its Star Destroyers and TIE squadrons lurk in the darkness between stars, carrying out the fallen Emperor’s final edict of destruction—as well as another, stranger mission, one Keize has championed not for the dying Empire, but for its loyal soldiers.
Alphabet Squadron’s ships are as ramshackle and damaged as their spirits, but they’ve always had one another. Now, as they face the might of Keize’s reborn juggernaut, they aren’t sure they even have that. How do you catch a shadow? How do you kill it? And when you’re finally victorious, who pays the price?
Customer Reviews
Ace of aces
As a lifelong reader of Star Wars books, I can firmly say that this is the best one published in either Legends or Canon. Thoughtful and heartbreaking in the best of ways, it's never hopeless. Every character in the squadron is complex and nuanced, which also means they are at various turns heroically inspiring and incredibly frustrating in their failings. It's Imperial characters are sympathetic, in their own way, and victims of the terrible government they serve, but are undoubtedly villains. This is never more true that Colonel Soran Keize, Shadow Wing's leader who will shoulder any moral cost to keep his people alive and free.
