Battlefront ll: Fetch Squad

Story

Reviewed: 08-06-17

First off I don't see why the team is called inferno squad as they don't do anything involving fire or pyromania. They are not sent on mission to kill anyone, they are just sent to find lost/stolen information and get it back. The team of the empires best is not sent to fight filthy rebels but to go fetch lost stuff that is mostly unimportant or minor.

This book does a great job setting up inferno squad from the characters personality, abilities, unique traits to a glimpses of the cool equipment they'll get but never use (minis one droid). But the payoff feels very uneventful and a big disappointment as the main mission in the book feels like it should have started and ended in just 5 chapters not 20.

Personality if your a big fan of Star Wars like me you'll think this book is okay, it's not terrible by any means as the narrator does a good job, the sound clips are very good at adding to the scenes, the characters (fetch squad members) are all like able, and it ties in the movies episode four and rogue one very well making it feel like things that happen in those movies have lasting effects for the empire that are brought up multiple times.

If your someone interested in the new video game the book is slightly based on (Star Wars battlefront ll) coming out this year that want to get to know the team of fetch squad I would say just skip this book as the team doesn't come out as bad ass or cool due to them just doing fetch quests for the empire and not going out killing rebels.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
