Review: Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel

Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel by James Luceno
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was able to check out the audiobook version of this novel from my library and listen to it via the Overdrive app while traveling home from just over a 2-week ministry trip this month. It was a pretty good story, but had some slow points in the book. What I enjoyed most about this book was the extra detail and story plots that it told that helped bridge some of the gaps and also add more detail to what you see in the movies (Episodes II, III, and Rogue One). You learn A LOT more about the Erso family, Krennic, Tarkin, and even Saw Gerrera. You get to see each of their roles during the closing months/years of the Clone Wars, the birth of the Empire, and all the way up to the point where the Rogue One story picks up. I think it's certainly a book worth reading/listening to, especially if you find yourself interested in the Star Wars story/universe.
