Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Khurram on October 15, 2024

I was a bit disappointed with this book. Okay I know I have a prejudice against prequels, and having a book called Battle Front 2 that actually is set before the Battle Front book messes with my brain sensibilities. There is very little action in the book. The team is called Inferno Squad "as a promi......more

The Empire’s Best of the Best are called! This is a “Star Wars” prose novel, part of the new canon expanded universe. This is a tie-in book as part of the merchandising campaign of the “Star Wars: Battlefront II” video game. The story is set after “Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope” and before “S......more

Goodreads review by Ben on November 21, 2017

If Paul S. Kemp’s exceptional “Lords of the Sith” and Claudia Gray’s “Lost Stars” represent one side of the quality-spectrum of the new canon-Star Wars novels, and Timothy Zahn’s “Thrawn” and Kevin Hearne’s “Heir to the Jedi” represent…er…the other end, then Christie Golden’s “Battlefront II: Infern......more

Goodreads review by Micah on July 30, 2017

This book has the same problem a lot of star wars books past had. When centering a story on sith or empire figures it's very hard to make a sort of moral connection with them. It plays all sides of moral arguments to the point where nothing held any actual emotional weight. The whole "these ppl are......more
