Battlefront II: Inferno Squad (Star Wars)

De: Christie Golden

Narrado por: Janina Gavankar

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Set in the aftermath of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, this action-packed prequel to the hotly anticipated videogame Battlefront II introduces the Empire’s elite force: Inferno Squad.

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.

Ties in well with the game

It's not needed exposition, but I think it does a lot to explain the social dynamics in the campaign mode for the game. Good characters, throwbacks to some Rogue One names, and interesting to see the Imperial side of things. Not essential reading, but I would suggest it.

Good Impressions

This is my first book with Janna Gavankar as narrator and I am impressed. The consistency of characters the range she could change her voice to give each character their own voice was impressive. It is up to the quality I have come to expect from the Star Wars audio renditions of their novels.

This was a fantastic book. Performance was decent

The book is fantastic. Golden seems to excel at humanizing and making you sympathize for "evil" characters. This book really delves into the Empire and how there are just as many idealists in the Empire as there is in the rebellion. She also makes some very memorable characters
The only problem is the book does drag in some spots in the middle. it's necessary for the plot but don't expect this to have the same pace as Twilight Company
The performance was pretty good it was a little off putting that some of the men that were older sounded like Teenage boys in my opinion, the admiral and Gideon Hask are good examples of this. However The narrator was definitely thrilled to be reading for a Star Wars book and you can really tell with her inflection.
Overall Very good book and a solid voice performance.
