Star Wars: Battlefront: Twilight Company by Alexander Freed

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 stormtroopers—bent on crushing resistance to the Empire wherever it arises—are 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 soldiers—men and women, human and nonhuman—of 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 equation—and gives the Alliance’s 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 maneuver—trading down-and-dirty battle in the trenches for a game-changing strike at the ultimate target: the very heart of the Empire’s military machine.

It’s a real throwback to the 20,000 AD books of old, and seeing this style transplanted into the Star Wars universe is a real treatIn short, Twilight Companyis far better than what is essentially a piece of videogame tie-in merchandise has any right to be * SciFi Now *
‘a compelling and realistic story…it is a character-driven story with each character having multiple layers that are slowly peeled away as the story progresses from battle to battle…Battlefront: Twilight Companyhas a truth of realism and purpose for its characters not seen often enough in the Star Wars galaxy.’ 4.5 stars * Star Wars Books & Comics *
