After their narrow victory over Shadow Wing, Alphabet Squadron is on the attack, hunting their adversaries within the Imperial Remnant. Shadow Wing is desperate for direction and leadership—and they find both in the iron will of Major Keize, their former commander and Yrica Quell’s one-time mentor. As battle lines blur, Alphabet Squadron finds itself not only fighting their resurgent foes, but their leader’s own deadly shadow.

I really struggled with a few of the characters portrail by monda it seemed as if she assumed it was the first book in the series and could do as she pleased making certain characters sound constantly weak and other in physical pain I feel very poor research was done before the recording...

Monda let the characters down

I loved it. Some parts I felt were weaker, some subplots I didn't like all that much but there was nothing I disliked. The tie in with the wider Star Wars universe and with Squadrons the upcoming game, is worth it alone but the series itself has quickly become one of my favourite Star Wars stories.

The new VA took some getting used to, I'd come to just equate Saskia Maarveld with the voice of Yrica Quell, so having her speak in a much more American voice threw me until I got used to it, but that is on me. Carol Monda is an excellent choice and she brings a life to characters that I never thought possible.

Really enjoyed the first book. And i did enjoy the story here... but i really struggled through it because of the the narrator. Not enough variation; most of the characters sounded the same. Voice felt a bit monosyllabic in places where story needed the opposite. Overall performance was quite weak when compared to other Star Wars audio book narrators. The narrator of the first Alphabet Squadron was a lot better, and varied.

Good story, poor narration

Overall, I enjoyed this book but to begin with it is a marked step down from Alphabet Squadron, the first book in the series.
The story is really enjoyable but the narration does have the colour and quality of the first book. As it progresses I got used to the narration and enjoy the story.
Looking forward the Victory's Price.

Enjoyable but not quite Alphabet Squadron
