About this audiobook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Cal Kestis leads the Stinger Mantis crew on an adventure set between Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and the highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
Cal Kestis has built a new life for himself with the crew of the Stinger Mantis. Together, Cal’s crew has brought down bounty hunters, defeated Inquisitors, and even evaded Darth Vader himself. More important, Merrin, Cere, Greez, and faithful droid BD-1 are the closest thing Cal has had to a family since the fall of the Jedi Order. Even as the galaxy’s future grows more uncertain by the day, with each blow struck against the Empire the Mantis crew grows more daring.
On what should be a routine mission, they meet a stormtrooper determined to chart her own course with the help of Cal and the crew. In exchange for help starting a new life, the Imperial deserter brings word of a powerful, potentially invaluable tool for their fight against the Empire. And even better, she can help them get to it. The only catch—pursuing it will bring them into the path of one of the Empire’s most dangerous servants, the Inquisitor known as the Fifth Brother.
Can the Imperial deserter truly be trusted? And while Cal and his friends have survived run-ins with the Inquisitors before, how many times can they evade the Empire before their luck runs out?

There is so many bad things about this book. It does not even connect Fallen Order to Survivor. Let me sum it up, Greez loses his arm, Merrin has a problem keeping it in her pants, Cal apparently forgot how to manipulate time with the force, and Cere risks an entire mission for a crown from the Old Republic games but we never get to utilize it.

Put a chick in it and make her gay and lame. Well, that covers half of the book. Glad they didn't put anything interesting or fun in this book. I mean, it would have been horrible to have had to listen to a story about Jedi and adventure. Glad they just filled it with garbage and nonsense. Actually, this feels like how they made the 2nd Mario game, taking a completely different game and just changing a few pixels to make it look like Mario chars. This is NOT a Star Wars book, AT ALL.

Some authors slot into the world Lucas created and Disney facilitates, and some cannot. This author cannot. I was hoping for a book that bridged the time between Fallen Order and Survivor and sets up the new game, but instead, i got a book that feels more like a cringy teenager wrote it and used SW characters. Fan Fiction vibes. Skip it it adds nothing to the SW universe and there are much better written romance stories to be found if thats your fancy.
