If The Force Awakens tricked you into thinking Phasma would be an awesome bad guy with a great story: surprise! You just got Maul-ed. So here's a book to give a story to the character that never did anything or went anywhere in the movies. Well she went into a trash compactor, and then a burning chasm, but you get the idea. Phasma grew up on a brutal world as a brutal person, and joined the brutal First Order. She pretty much kills everyone she ever knew, and a bunch of strangers just for good measure. The real star of this story is Captain Cardinal though. The devoted FIrst Order officer who hates Phasma so much that he'll break all their rules just to get a shot at some evidence against her. Decide for yourself the morality of wiping out a group of droids who have created a civilization. And if you thought Armitage Hux was a weasel before you really haven't seen anything yet.

The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come. Chad, Ryan, and Beth have started a series to keep you up to date on all the action. Join our book club as we run down the best that canon, legends, and comics have to offer.
