Summary from Goodreads:
After the humiliating theft of the Death Star plans and the destruction of the battle station, the Empire is on the defensive. But not for long. In retaliation, the elite Imperial soldiers of Inferno Squad have been called in for the crucial mission of infiltrating and eliminating the Partisans—the rebel faction once led by notorious Republic freedom fighter Saw Gerrera.
Following the death of their leader, the Partisans have carried on his extremist legacy, determined to thwart the Empire—no matter the cost. Now Inferno Squad must prove its status as the best of the best and take down the Partisans from within. But the growing threat of being discovered in their enemy’s midst turns an already dangerous operation into a do-or-die acid test they dare not fail. To protect and preserve the Empire, to what lengths will Inferno Squad go . . . and how far beyond them?
The Rebellion may have heroes like Jyn Erso and Luke Skywalker. But the Empire has Inferno Squad.
Review:
Inferno Squad by Christie Golden is a solid addition to the Star Wars universe, delivering an action-packed story that delves into the morally complex world of Imperial loyalty. The book follows the elite Inferno Squad on a mission to infiltrate a rebel group, offering a fascinating perspective on the Empire’s operatives. While the premise is intriguing, the characters sometimes feel underdeveloped, making it hard to fully connect with their struggles. The pacing is uneven, with moments of thrilling tension interspersed with slower, less engaging sections. Despite these flaws, it’s an enjoyable read for fans eager to explore the grittier side of the Star Wars saga.
