About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Alphabet Squadron written by Alexander Freed, read by Saskia Maarleveld.

On the verge of victory in a brutal war, five New Republic pilots transform from hunted to hunters in this epic Star Wars adventure.


The Emperor is dead. His final weapon has been destroyed. The imperial army is in disarray. In the aftermath, Yrica Quell is just one of thousands of defectors from her former cause living in a deserters' shantytown—until she is selected to join Alphabet Squadron.

Cobbled together from an eclectic assortment of pilots and starfighters, the five members of Alphabet are tasked by New Republic General Hera Syndulla herself. Like Yrica, each is a talented pilot struggling to find their place in a changing galaxy. Their mission: to track down and destroy the mysterious Shadow Wing, a lethal force of TIE fighters exacting bloody, reckless vengeance in the twilight of their reign.

The newly formed unit embodies the heart and soul of the Rebellion: ragtag, resourceful, scrappy, and emboldened by their most audacious victory in decades. But going from underdog rebels to celebrated heroes isn't as easy as it seems, and their inner demons threaten them as much as their enemies among the stars. The wayward warriors of Alphabet Squad will have to learn to fly together if they want to protect the new era of peace they’ve fought so hard to achieve.

I love both Canon and legends. I must say, this book was a very enjoyable listen. It is like the Canon version of the X-Wing Books.

Bloody brilliant!

Alphabet Squadron is a great listen, breaking away from some of the norms of the franchise this book delivers a great story on the whole.

There are a few moments that Weill leave you with more questions than answers but in general, I'd definitely recommend this book to any Star Wars fan, new or old

A unique tale

This felt fresh and fully Star Wars!

The distrust of ex-imperials in this felt far more realistic than some of the Legends material I had previously read, up until this point I didn't think that it was a problem.

Very impressed!

Absolutely loved it!

I found myself struggling to care about the main character, tbh. There are some good moments. But, I spent the whole book waiting for my interest to be well and truly caught. It never really happened.

Her big secret is extremely underwhelming imo. Devin, the stranger, is the most interesting character in the entire book. If it weren't for his final scene I think I'd leave this series here. Maybe go back to my Legends re-read.

But ... that final scene, at least, is compelling. So on I trudge, I suppose.

Not sure
