Her one-time mentor Keize is similarly compelling as the villain of the piece. Quell remains an utterly fascinating character, as she works through guilt for the atrocities she took part in during her previous stint with the Empire and wrestles with divided loyalties.
That book also ended with Alphabet Squadron leader (and Imperial defector) Yrica Quell's stunning decision to abandon her New Republic allies and return to the Empire, adding more spice to the dish for this high-stakes trilogy-ender. It's an engaging setup, especially since Freed humanized the elite Imperial special forces group Shadow Wing and its leader Soran Keize in last year's Shadow Fall. In the book, published Tuesday, the ascendant New Republic is winning the war in the year after Return of the Jedi, and many of the surviving Imperials are out to wreak as much havoc as possible before their defeat.
The fallen Galactic Empire is at its most desperate and engaging in Star Wars: Victory's Price, the final book in Alexander Freed's Alphabet Squadron trilogy.
