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.
