Alphabet Squadron by Josh Freed

In the chaotic aftermath of the Empire’s fall, a former TIE pilot is recruited by New Republic Intelligence to lead a ragtag team of aces flying mismatched starfighters on a dangerous hunt for the elusive Shadow Wing. As they face ruthless foes and their own haunted pasts, the pilots must learn to trust one another and reckon with the blurry lines between justice and vengeance. The result is a gritty, character-driven story of redemption, loyalty, and the lingering costs of war.
