While Star Wars films provide audiences with no shortage of epic space battles, lightsaber duels, and strike team raids on shield generators, the movie canon rarely pays much attention to the life of the rank-and-file soldier. Battlefront: Twilight Company explores what happens to the canon fodder fighting and dying in the background of space opera's cinematic action sequences. Focusing on the life of a few low-ranking Rebel grunts caught up in a vast interstellar conflict, the novel is an enjoyable tale of interstellar adventure and drama.
Twilight Company succeeds best whenever it’s following protagonist Sergeant Namir on his transformative odyssey from journeyman mercenary to rebel leader. Jaded by a life of warfare serving a variety of masters, Namir is understandably cynical. Thankfully, author Alexander Freed chooses to imbue his doubtful hero with a redeeming trustworthiness and straightforward decency that counteracts his dourness. Namir feels genuine and three dimensional without sinking into the kind of self-indulgent malaise that might have sapped the soul from an entertaining adventure yarn.
