The must-have prequel novel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - the upcoming film, set before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, that reveals the untold story of the rebel effort to steal the plans to the Death Star!
"Great set up for Rogue One." according to David B. I really enjoyed this book as I did with the authors last book, Tarkin. This book does a really good job covering the time period between the original and prequel trilogies.The author is really great at writing interesting stories centered around villains in the Star Wars universe. This book is very much in same vein as Tarkin in that respect.

A Little History Is ALWAYS Worth It! I was a little wary about reading this book.

Jyn, one of the main characters in the upcoming movie, is young enough in the book to be a peripheral character. We get a sense of her background and personality, but Catalyst focuses on others - primarily Jyn's parents, an ambitious Republic officer named Orson Krennic, and a smuggler named Has Obitt.*
