Alphabet Squadron is the complete audio rendition of the canon novel sharing its name, penned by Alexander Freed. Saskia Maarleveld lent her voice to the audiobook, which was brought to listeners by Random House Audio on June 11, 2019.
In a savage conflict nearing its conclusion, a quintet of New Republic pilots transitions from the role of the pursued to that of the pursuers within this sweeping STAR WARS narrative. Taking place after Return of the Jedi, Alphabet Squadron centers on a distinctive group, each member piloting a different type of starfighter, as they strive to bring their war to a definitive end.
The Emperor is deceased. His ultimate weapon lies in ruins. The Imperial military is in a state of chaos. In the aftermath, Yrica Quell finds herself among countless defectors from her previous allegiance, residing in a settlement for deserters—until she is chosen to become a part of Alphabet Squadron.
This unit, a patchwork of diverse pilots and starfighters, sees its five members tasked by none other than New Republic General Hera Syndulla. Similar to Yrica, each pilot possesses exceptional skill but struggles to find their purpose in a transforming galaxy. Their objective: to locate and neutralize the enigmatic Shadow Wing, a deadly contingent of TIE fighters relentlessly seeking retribution in the waning days of their rule.
This newly established squad embodies the very spirit of the Rebellion: a collection of underdogs, resourceful, tenacious, and emboldened by their most significant triumph in decades. However, the transition from underdog rebels to celebrated heroes proves more challenging than anticipated, with their internal struggles posing as great a threat as the enemies they face among the stars. The errant warriors of Alphabet Squadron must learn to operate as a cohesive unit if they hope to safeguard the nascent era of peace for which they have fought so valiantly.
Saskia Maarleveld narrated the audiobook, which Random House Audio made available on June 11, 2019 in two formats: as a downloadable digital audiobook and as a set of twelve compact discs. Scott Creswell directed the production, with Nick Martorelli serving as the executive producer.
