Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel by James Luceno

3.0

Whew! Finished this just in time! I really enjoyed this book, since it's mostly following a new cast of characters that hopefully the movie will expand on. The pacing is done pretty well and I like how everyone has secret agendas that are both helpful and harmful to the galaxy. However since this is after Revenge of the Sith, it does make a rocky connection trying to tie film continuity together. Also I would've liked to read more about Galen Erso, but I suppose he can be fleshed out in the film. I also would've liked to have scenes with Palpatine taking to his new position and weapon, but I can see why they didn't do it. If you're a Star Wars fan, check it out for some great interactions.
