A review by amandatastic
Inferno Squad by Christie Golden
4.0
You know the meme that's gone around for a while, about how the Rebels really committed a terrorist attack by blowing up the Death Star? This book basically takes that idea and runs with it. Iden Versio survives the destruction of the first Death Star, and subsequently is placed onto an elite special forces team tasked with infiltrating the Dreamers, a rebel terrorist cell.
This is another new canon Star Wars novel which has focused on the Empire's side of the story. It also explored a darker and more extremist side of the Rebellion that was briefly touched on in Rogue One. You will grow attached to some characters, but also feel torn when you see what their actions and thought processes entail.
I really enjoyed Janina's narration of the audiobook, and am excited to learn more about Inferno Squad's story during the Battlefield 2 single player campaign. I highly recommend you read (or listen) to this book if you plan on playing the game, but it is also a succinct story in its own right if you don't plan on it.
