About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Beth Revis brings to life the early adventures and heartbreaks of the heroine of the smash hit movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

When Jyn Erso was five years old, her mother was murdered and her father taken from her to serve the Empire. But despite the loss of her parents, she is not completely alone - Saw Gerrera, a man willing to go to any extremes necessary in order to resist Imperial tyranny, takes her in as his own and gives her not only a home but all the abilities and resources she needs to become a rebel herself.

Jyn dedicates herself to the cause - and the man. But fighting alongside Saw and his people brings with it danger and the question of just how far Jyn is willing to go as one of Saw's soldiers. When she faces an unthinkable betrayal that shatters her world, Jyn will have to pull the pieces of herself back together and figure out what she truly believes in...and who she can really trust.

A strong and exciting story, with great background detail following Jyn Erso, leading directly into the Rogue One film, however was very disappointed by the narrator's English accent - which of course is vital with the main character having an English accent!

Good story, frustrating narration

Decent story let down by weird recording

Great book from start to finish. Good prequel to Star Wars Rogue One. Very well written, and I felt for Jyn whenever something bad or good happened to her.

Decent Star Wars book

Sure Thrawn is amazing, and the new Alphabet Squadron series look well, Aftermath even grew on me- but Rebel Rising, like Rogue One, is the refreshing "new generation" book with old Star Wars flavour. Really enjoyed it and gives a solid backstory to one of new Star Wars' better characters

We need more of these

I liked it. Performance is solid, story is ok and gives details of Jyn's life after Saw picked her up and before she was rescued from the Empire at the beginning of the movie.
I enjoyed it. :)

But I also think Rogue One is one of the best, most emotional SW movies so...

Interesting insight into Jyn's past

This is a mixed opinion book. It depends on how much you like Star Wars. It fills in the missing part of Jane Eso life before she becomes part of the rebellion.

A great read for anyone who enjoyed Rogue One, following the life of Jyn from her childhood to the beginning of the film. Very well paced and introducing some memorable new characters, as well as doing a good job of expanding on characters found in the film.

A perfect extension of the Rogue One storyline

Very bleak, but overall a very well put together story that scratches the Rogue One itch while we wait for Andor. I have some gripes with how the conclusion fits into Rogue One, but the way each of the events tumbles into the next through the course of Jyn's tragic tale, gaining momentum and spiralling out ot control, was deftly done by the author and tremendously affecting.

The performance was mostly good, Jyn and the various aliens sounded great, but the narrator did also pull punches - when a character shouted it was read as a raspy whisper, and some of the characters sharing a scene ended up sounding the same due to a generic tough guy voice being overused.

Other than the small issues stated, I really enjoyed Rebel Rising and would definitely recommend it before your next rewatch of Rogue One!

Great!

Rogue 1 is one of the best Starwars movies. This book adds to that legacy and expands the back story in a compelling way. Like Rogue 1 it deals with rebels, the Empire and the people caught up in it in a nuisances and complex way.

Loved this prequel to Rogue 1
