Engrossing, Engaging, One Of The Best!
James Luceno *breathes* quality. That is to say the man has gotten to the point in terms of who he is as a person and his writing style where quality comes as easy to him as breathing. He is a masterful wordsmith, and Catalyst is by far his best work in my opinion. I can’t wait for his next works in the Star Wars universe 🙂 This novel was enrapturing and engaging, and so incredibly cinematic. Galen and Krennic leapt of the Page and once again, Luceno proves that he knows how Star Wars stories are told – with grandeur, with heart, and with a sense of being transported to another time and place whilst still being grounded. Catalyst is suspenseful, world-building magic, and it is *absolutely* required reading before seeing Rogue One!

The Rise of Krennic
Catalyst is a fantastic story that gives its readers further depth into the characters of Rogue One. However, if I hadn’t have already read or seen Rogue One, some of the characters would have been lost on me. Therefore personally, I would recommend listening to this book after watching or reading Rogue One.
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the story behind Galen and Lyra Ersos involvement with the Empire. However, I absolutely loved learning of the uprising of Orson Krennic.
As a bonus, Catalyst also gives its readers more depth into the infamous Governor Tarkin… definitely worth a read.
