Thompson who has written comics such as Rogue and Gambit, Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, and the new Jessica Jones has written a book that takes place when General Organa's resistance forces have staged an attack on the First Order's most powerful weapon, Starkiller Base. A team consisting of Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Finn has penetrated the base to lower its defense shields. While Starkiller is charging in order to destroy planets, Captain Phsma is forced at gunpoint to lower the base's defense shields, allowing Resistance forces to attack in full. Then the trio forces her down a garbage chute.
When Captain Phasma goes to erase the evidence that she was the one to lower the shields she finds evidence that someone else helped to lower the shields--a Sol Revas. He has taken a ship and left Starkiller Base so she nabs a pilot and does the same. They chase Rivas to the planet Luprora where he likely landed because he ran out of fuel. Their ship was being worked on when they commandeered it and it has its own problems. They land without letting Rivas know.
When they kill a monster called a Tse'ells they make friends with some of the locals who have landed there from elsewhere and wish to make Luprora their home but are having trouble with the natives, the R'ora and the new creatures that have started to pop up such as the Tse'ells. The R'ora have Rivas and they are a merciless lot and will kill him, but Captain Phasma cannot count on that. She must see to it herself so she agrees to lead these people in a war against the R'ora in order to get close to Rivas. Will Captain Phasma succeed? And what will become of the people being led into battle against the R'ora? In this book you get a real good look at Captain Phasma and how she works and what she is willing to do for the First Order and for herself. She is cunning and ruthless and takes care of business. Thompson does an excellent job of demonstrating just who Captain Phasma is. The art by Checchetto and Mossa is excellent. I give this book four out of five stars.
