Mostly a Kanan story, with only a small piece of Kanan before Order 66. The comics I think are filling in the gap between Order 66 and This novel, which is a nice prequel to Star Wars Rebels. I hope that there will be more stories as well, since this still has a few years pre-Ezra.
On a writing point, John Jackson Miller does a good job in creating that Star Wars feel with his characters and world-building, as well as with the story telling. It is not an easy task to be unique and original in a pre-made world, and still remain true to the form. JJM does a good job of this, and I hope that he gets tasked for a future novel in this universe as well.

Great Star Wars story set in the "dark times" when the Emperor ruled supreme. I've really come to love Star Wars: Rebels and the Ghost crew. So many great characters are never in the feature films. "New Dawn" features not only Kanan and Hera, but also Rae Sloane - a fantastically nuanced imperial character.
The best thing about Star Wars are the shades of gray. On the surface everything seems very binary. Dark and light, Jedi and Sith, good and evil. But it's not quite that simple. Every villain has a back story and every hero has temptations and missteps. Imperials are just doing their jobs and even may believe that the order the Empire provides is essential to the health of the galaxy. Rebels are doing what they believe is right and risking their lives to topple a tyrannical government, but how many lives must they sacrifice to realize that goal?
