Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the best book in the Star Wars series by author Alexander Freed.
The novel features new scenes and expanded material.

As the darkness of the Empire enveloped the galaxy, so did the deeply troubling rumors. The Rebellion has learned of a sinister plot by the Empire to bring the world to its knees. Deep in the Empire-dominated space, a machine with the power of unconscious destruction is about to come to fruition. A weapon too intimidating to consider… and a threat that may be too great to overcome.

If the worlds at the Empire’s mercy have any chance, it lies in an unlikely group of allies: Jyn Erso, a resourceful young woman seeking revenge; Cassian Andor, a war-weary rebel commander; Bodhi Rook, a defector from the Empire’s army; Chirrut Îmwe, a blind saint; his excellent companion, Baze Malbus; and K-2SO, a deadly Empire droid that turned against its former owner. In their hands was the new hope that could turn the tide towards a major Rebellion victory – if only they could get hold of the Empire’s plans for new weapons.

As they race to their perilous goal, the specter of their ultimate enemy – a world monstrous unto itself – darkens the sky. Waiting to herald the Empire’s brutal reign with an explosion of destruction worthy of its terrifying name: the Death Star.

I’ve written reviews of other Star Wars novels that I’ve been less impressed with, mainly because they have light and lengthy plots. I complain about the lack of action – things that are happening. I realize that this book is based on the screenplay of a movie – which, by the way, I have NOT seen, this review is based solely on the book – so the translation from the visual medium would contain the “something never happen”. ten minutes” that the films follow.

Everything happens in this book, everything happens a lot, and everything is filled with action. My argument is that books can do the same thing and are incredibly fun. Instead, the books I reviewed moved with icy speed and had very little tension.
