About this ebook
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.

This was a great book, it was while not particularly long still very enjoyable. I knew the Single player Campaign of Battlefront 2 beforehand and would recommend to watch/play through it before reading this, because while it's certainly not necessary, it definitely adds a lot of character to everybody. All in all I would definitely recommend this book for every Star Wars Fan out there.

Wow. What a journey. I loved the story in the game and this is a great introduction into inferno squad. The missions, their personalities, all come through so well here and really help bring more depth into the characters I first fell in love with while playing the game. You really get a taste of who they are. I'd even say I wish I read this first then played the game. In fact I'm going to go play the campaign again right now!

A fantastic read from start to finish. You don't need to know anything about the game to enjoy it and it also has some little (and not so little) nods to characters from other parts of the franchise which you'll spot quickly if you've seen those other bits of media but detract nothing if you haven't. The story is good to the point it makes the games story better for existing by rationalising some of the stranger decisions made by the characters in game
