Book Review Rewind: Star Wars- Battlefront: Twilight Company by Alexander Freed

 

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,

   

 Star Wars- Battlefront: Twilight Company by Alexander Freed and set during and after Episode IV. It is a war novel filled with many interesting new characters. Among them is Hazram Namir, a Twilight Company officer with a violent past. Brand, a bounty hunter, and Twilight Company operative who is stealth personified and the sharpest shooter in the company. Governor Evari Chalis, an Imperial defector being pursued by Darth Vader.

    After the extraction of Governor Chalis from Haidoral Prime, Twilight Company meets on their converted Blockade Runner, the Thunderstrike, to discuss the information that Chalis has to give to the Rebellion. According to her, the best way to destroy the Empire is to strike out at their resources. Through various campaigns on many worlds, Twilight Company attacks Imperial forces. They are met with resistance by the ruthless, newly appointed agent of Emperor Palpatine, Prelate Verge. The stakes are high as Twilight Company enters into their final strike against the Empire's resources: the destruction of the Kuat shipyards where Star Destroyers are made. 

  Alexander Freed is no stranger to Star Wars, having written novels based in the Old Republic era. His knack for taking video games, and fully realizing them into novel form is impressive...most impressive. I was given both sides of the war, which laid out an interesting perspective for me when I was experiencing the events from Episodes IV and V. The swift and often terrifying encounters with the Empire show a Rebellion on the run dealing with the repercussions of destroying the Death Star. At the end of this book, I felt incredible admiration for Twilight Company due to the author's skill at character development. I was never once bored with this book and appreciated the fast-paced story that was filled with excitement.

  I read this book in part with the excellent narration of Jonathan Davis. His reading of Star Wars novels is always a treat. And the added music and special effect sounds added to the novel's cinematic storytelling.

  Star Wars-Battlefront: Twilight Company is a five-star spectacle that kept me turning pages way past my bedtime! I highly recommend this novel to not only Star Wars fans, but fans of war novels.
