Shadow Fall (Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron, #2)

by Alexander Freed

“I wish we could see him tried for every crime he ever committed, from his days as Naboo senator on. It would take a year, perhaps, but everyone in the galaxy would watch. Everyone would say Never again shall such an empire rise, and when they executed him at last, every Imperial who followed him would fear the justice of the New Republic.”

“In the years since those experiences, most every cell in your body—every atom—has been replaced and renewed. You have rebuilt yourself, both physically and mentally. You do not need to carry the guilt of prior incarnations.”

I drink. I work. I do what good I can in the galaxy. I manage, Yrica Quell. I move forward, because dwelling on my shame doesn’t help anyone.
