Status Updates From Kill Team (Galaxy's Edge, #3)

Really fun - most likely going to be a four star book!

Star Wars for grown ups.

Really unique switch to 2nd person. I could not do a full book in 2nd person but here it works.

Really good. These guys need to write the storyline for a science fiction military FPS. Very fun.

Oh this is good. Going to be difficult picking out my favorite of the three military science fiction books I am reading right now. This book has a very good plot immediately following the first book.

Look Lieutenant Chhun is probable the best part of this book series and what keeps me coming back, but the racism and xenophobia is pretty aggressive in this book more so than in the first where everyone they met was a combatant. In this case we legit have the characters shoot civilians and justify and doesn’t feel like it’s done in a way to critique but rather this is just how it’s done.

Chhun is ordered to break away from the group trying to take the engine room and take the bridge ASAP. Along the way, just before he would otherwise have been confronted with guards, he has a series of ship doors convieniently lead him along a safe path to the bridge.

The six person kill team makes an ‘indelible’ entry to the ship from the hullbuster and make their way to the engine room.

We see the same period of time from Tom’s POV desperately trying to stop the plot. He finally gets a chance after a short scuffle on the bridge to set and delay the jump to hyperspace to buy time for the Republic.

The Kill team is called to action right as they complete their training session. The six of them board via a hullbuster and make an ‘indelible’ entry.

X/Tom begins to panic while Scarpia tells him about another change to the plans which would mean the message Illuria sent to the Republic would have the wrong location for the weapons rendezvous. Captain Eliyah Deynolds realizes what’s happening with the suspicious corvette now above Ankalore and readies the troops.

X/Tom has a rendezvous with Illuria in the sauna on the Smuggler’s End while the beach party continues. They form a plan to stop the bomb plot. The next day Scarpia tells X/Tom there will be a battalion of heavily armoured zhee on board while Illuria sends the message.

The kill team unknowingly prepares with simulations they keep failing and are beginning to get nervous about if they had to do it for real.

The kill team (who have decided to rebrand to Victory Company) interrogate the journalist who told X/Tom he could acquire the ordnance from Jarref Varuud. Andien shows a video of her interrogating Varuud, revealing Scarpia was behind the Kublar bombings and is planning more.

Tom gets paranoid about Scarpia’s impending plan to bomb the House of Reason and leaves a beach party to try to send a message from the boat.
