Star Wars Book Club discussion

Hi there fellow SWBCers! I am currently reading "A New Dawn" by John Jackson Miller. If anybody else is currently reading this book or have read it recently, please use this thread to discuss the book!!

@Benjamin Akers - so far I am liking A New Dawn. noticed you are currently in the Wheel of Time series. I too have that on my TBR list .. wondering if I should get on it given the TV series is coming! :)

Wow! I read this so long ago. I think 2015. Good setup for Rebels itself. I recall enjoying it. Hope you do too!

I am resurrecting this thread because it is this book's sixth anniversary this month! John Jackson Miller's A New Dawn novel kicked-off the publishing content for the new Star Wars literary canon in September 2014. As noted above, it is also a prequel treatment to the Star Wars Rebels television series, which ran from 2014 to 2018. A New Dawn was also released in the Star Wars: The Rise of the Empire compilation of October 2015.

This book club read A New Dawn in September 2016 and it was the club's seventh book. I was not a member back then. :( I have not read A New Dawn , yet. I will try to get to it early next year. I am a huge fan of Star Wars Rebels and I look forward to finally reading this book. Love me some Kanan and Hera!

May the Force be with you.

This was a really fun read. I read it a couple years ago when I first started reading again. I really like Kanan and Hera and this is a great start to their relationship. It was an easy read and gives good insight to how Kanan was able to try and live life during the beginning of the empire. I will probably read this book again at some point, but I do recommend it.

Nice. I am glad to hear your thoughts on this and the positive comments. You've convinced me to move it up on my To Read list to get to it sooner.

As I am apt to do, here is more material about Kanan, Hera and the other members of the Ghost crew for interested readers in reading order.

19 BBY: Kanan from Marvel Comics issues 7 to 11.
19 BBY: Kanan from Marvel Comics issues 1 and 2.
18 BBY: Kanan from Marvel Comics issues 4 and 5.
14 BBY: "Mercy Mission" in Star Wars: The Rise of the Empire .
11 BBY: A New Dawn.
5 BBY: The events of the Star Wars Rebels television show begin.
4 BBY: Kanan from Marvel Comics issues 6 and 12.
0 BBY: The events of the Star Wars Rebels television show end (in fantastic fashion, I must add!).

There are also tons of other material for Rebels for young readers and kids 12-years-old and less. Let me know if you want to know more about other content associated with the crew of the Ghost.

May the Force be with you.
