About the Book
Cal Kestis leads the Stinger Mantis crew on an adventure set between Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and the highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Cal Kestis has built a new life for himself with the crew of the Stinger Mantis. Together, Cal's crew has brought down bounty hunters, defeated Inquisitors, and even evaded Darth Vader himself. More important, Merrin, Cere, Greez, and faithful droid BD-1 are the closest thing Cal has had to a family since the fall of the Jedi Order. Even as the galaxy's future grows more uncertain by the day, with each blow struck against the Empire the Mantis crew grows more daring. On what should be a routine mission, they meet a stormtrooper determined to chart her own course with the help of Cal and the crew. In exchange for help starting a new life, the Imperial deserter brings word of a powerful, potentially invaluable tool for their fight against the Empire. And even better, she can help them get to it. The only catch -- pursuing it will bring them into the path of one of the Empire's most dangerous servants, the Inquisitor known as the Fifth Brother. Can the Imperial deserter truly be trusted? And while Cal and his friends have survived run-ins with the Inquisitors before, how many times can they evade the Empire before their luck runs out?Book Synopsis

Review Quotes
"Author Sam Maggs has managed to turn a tie-in novel that bridges the gap between two video games into one of the most romantic and riveting Star Wars books of all time. Jedi: Battle Scars blows every expectation out of the water for a thrilling and intimate tale of messy found family and finding your fire and purpose in the galaxy."--Dork Side of the Force "Maggs is a strong writer and the story is incredibly compelling."--SlashFilm "A perfect bridge from Fallen Order to Survivor . . . Battle Scars provides a fun and exciting new adventure for Cal & Co."--That Hashtag Show
"Maggs has absolutely captured the voices of the characters who populate this world."--Laughing Place "The crew of Stinger Mantis is a motley bunch and writer Maggs plays on the best parts of their chemistry together while expanding each character's story."--But Why Tho? "It's quite impressive how Sam Maggs managed to capture the exact feeling of playing a video game story through prose. . . . It does an excellent job of getting fans ready for what's coming next."--Cinelinx

Was hoping for a fun little adventure set between the games, and didn't even get that. Battle Scars is just some terribly-written, erotic fan-fiction. Do not recommend even if you're really into the game's characters. Everyone is so out-of-character anyway.

Great tie-in. Delves deeper into the crew of the Mantis. But it seems to be more Merrin focus and not in a bad way. Highly recommend.
I liked it!

Did the author even play the game, or did she read a very brief synopsis of the characters and story? The book reads like a tween's bad fan fiction, and revolves mostly around the desires of the author with a hint here and there of any actual plot. I'm incredibly disappointed in this book that I was so excited to finally receive and read. I do not recommend it at all.
