General Hera Syndulla leads ground and naval forces in the Cerberon System, including a special Intelligence project headed by Caeran Adan and his Alphabet Squadron to hunt down and defeat the Empire’s notorious Shadow Wing.Īlphabet Squadron is an absolute mess. The New Republic is on the rise across the galaxy, felling Imperial remnants, and liberating planets and systems from holdout loyalists. Shadow Fall picks up shortly after the events of its prequel, Alphabet Squadron. For further in-universe context, The Alphabet Squadron series is also more or less concurrent with the 2015-2017 Aftermath series, Star Wars: Battlefront II, and the upcoming Star Wars: Squadrons. Shadow Fall takes place five years after the Battle of Yavin or about one year after The Return of the Jedi. As the middle chapter in the Alphabet Squadron series penned by an author known for killing off beloved characters, pressure, and expectations for the novel were high.
The only thing standing in his way? The most mismatched squadron in the New Republic Navy, led by his former mentee: the traitor Yrica Quell.Hearts were beating fast as Alexander Freed’s Shadow Fall (beautiful cover art and design by Jeff Langevin and Scott Biel) hit shelves, the first Star Wars adult novel since the release of The Rise of Skywalker from publisher Del Rey Books. Once adrift in the aftershocks of the war, Keize has found meaning again, leading the lost soldiers of his unit through to safety.
Soran Keize, last of the Imperial aces, has stepped into the power vacuum at the head of Shadow Wing, reinvigorating the faltering unit in their hour of need.
But in the darkness, their enemy has evolved. Determined to finish the fight once and for all, Quell works with New Republic Intelligence's contentious Caern Adan and the legendary General Hera Syndulla to prepare the riskiest gambit of her starfighting career-a trap for Shadow Wing that could finish the chase once and for all. Yrica Quell's ragtag Alphabet Squadron still leads the search for Shadow Wing, but they're no closer to their goal-and the pressure to find their quarry before it's too late has begun to shake them apart. And none are more dangerous than Shadow Wing. But some old ghosts are harder to banish than others. In its wake, the capital ships of the newly legitimized galactic government journey to the farthest stars, seeking out and crushing the remnants of imperial tyranny. Alphabet Squadron's hunt for the deadliest TIE fighters in the galaxy continues in this Star Wars adventure! News of the New Republic's victory still reverberates through the galaxy.
