[colls]

Continuing the adventures of the ace pilot hero of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens! Poe Dameron faces the wrath of a vengeful Agent Terex! But how does Terex always seem to know what Black Squadron is doing? Could there truly be a traitor in the Squadron's midst? Poe will undertake a secret mission from General Organa herself...to escort none other than C-3PO on a dangerous mission to the planet Kaddak! But what will be revealed in a peek into Terex's past? (goodreads summary)



1. Poe spends some time trying to suss out who could be the mole and winds up taking the mole with him. What are your thoughts on Oddy Muva? What do you think will happen to him and his wife next?

2. This volume gives us a lot of back story for Terex. What was your favorite tidbit about his past?

3. How many droid 'Operatives' do you think C-3PO has drifting around the galaxy?

4. Anything else?

As usual, there's no need to answer all (or any) of the questions. Please bring up other aspects of the volume as well.

1. The minute he chose Oddy to go with him on the mission I knew Oddy was the mole. I'm glad they didn't go into a whole "how could you?!" and "oh, he was holding your wife" scene - the time was better spent on escape. Hopefully the Resistance takes them in and figures out a way to prevent spies-under-diress.

2. Terex and his love for his armor is rather amusing. Not amusing is his Imperial conditioning when it's mixed with his inflated sense of self-importance - the scariest villains are sometimes the ones who think they're champions of righteous causes. I'm not sure what he hoped to achieve by teaming up with First Order - I suspect maybe it's that he thought a new Empire was rising and has since found them wantin.g.

3. NGL, C-3PO as a spy master is not where I was expecting this to go. Nor was I expecting Mister Bones - which came from one of the books set between original movies and prequel movies. Now I have to revisit THAT series because I don't think I finished it.

4. I think the panel below is really interesting. Instead of being blocked off it's composed to reflect chaos. I liked how visually the artist did that with the battle scene.
