At a time after a New Hope and before The Empire Strikes Back, the Rebel Army is fighting the Empire on many fronts. One of the groups fighting hard to defeat the Empire is Twilight Company. Lead by Captain Howl, they'd fight and die to stop the evil that the Emperor is spreading.
As they leave Haldoral Prime, the local Governor begs to depart along with them, offering any information she can give on the Empire to save herself. Governor Chalis, though not completely trusted, gives Twilight Company information that helps them claim small victories that take large tolls on the Empire's forces.
Now as Lord Vader searches for Luke Skywalker, he sends another group to search for Chalis, thus putting the small group of rebels in more even more danger.
BATTLEFRONT: TWILIGHT COMPANY follows this small group of rebels around the Mid Rim as they fight against the Empire. The story follows closely Sergeant Hazram Namir from his youth to his current position. You also follow the life of an individual Stormtrooper, Thara Nyende as she watches her planet, Sullust, fall apart.
As a lover of Star Wars, BATTLEFRONT: TWILIGHT COMPANY was not a disappointment. The storyline is the basis for the new Star Wars video game. I personally don't play video games but I enjoyed the story. I love the world and the characters in it. Many of the characters are new to the timeline of the Star Wars universe, yet some of the old favorites are mentioned. Anyone who loves of sci-fi, fantasy or Star Wars can't miss this exciting, battle-filled book by Alexander Freed. Star Wars books aren't just stories; they are part of a world many of us have loved since we were children, a world that BATTLEFRONT: TWILIGHT COMPANY puts you back into.
A companion novel inspired by the hotly anticipated
videogame Star Wars: Battlefront, this action-packed
adventure follows a squad of soldiers caught in the trenches
of the ultimate galactic war between good and evil.
The bravest soldiers. The toughest warriors. The ultimate
survivors.
Among the stars and across the vast expanses of space, the
Galactic Civil War rages. On the battlefields of multiple
worlds in the Mid Rim, legions of ruthless
stormtroopersβbent on crushing resistance to the Empire
wherever it arisesβare waging close and brutal combat
against an armada of freedom fighters. In the streets and
alleys of ravaged cities, the front-line forces of the Rebel
Alliance are taking the fight to the enemy, pushing deeper
into Imperial territory and grappling with the savage
flesh-and-blood realities of war on the ground.
Leading the charge are the soldiersβmen and women, human and
nonhumanβof the Sixty-First Mobile Infantry, better known as
Twilight Company. Hard-bitten, war-weary, and ferociously
loyal to one another, the members of this renegade outfit
doggedly survive where others perish, and defiance is their
most powerful weapon against the deadliest odds. When orders
come down for the rebels to fall back in the face of
superior opposition numbers and firepower, Twilight
reluctantly complies. Then an unlikely ally radically
changes the strategic equationβand gives the Allianceβs
hardest-fighting warriors a crucial chance to turn retreat
into resurgence.
Orders or not, alone and outgunned but unbowed, Twilight
Company locks, loads, and prepares to make its boldest
maneuverβtrading down-and-dirty battle in the trenches for a
game-changing strike at the ultimate target: the very heart
of the Empireβs military machine.
