Synopsis

In this essential Star Wars Legends novel, discover the legacy of Rogue Squadron and its fabled pilots, who became a symbol of hope throughout the galaxy.

They are sleek, swift, and deadly. They are the X-wing fighters. And as the struggle rages across the vastness of space, the fearless men and women who pilot them risk both their lives and their machines. Their mission: to defend the Rebel Alliance against a still-powerful and battle-hardened Imperial foe in a last-ditch effort to control the stars!

Its very name strikes fear into enemy hearts. So when Rebel hero Wedge Antilles rebuilds the legendary Rogue Squadron, he seeks out only the best—the most skilled and most daring X-wing pilots. Through arduous training and dangerous missions, he weeds out the weak from the strong, assembling a group of hard-bitten warriors willing to fight, ready to die. Antilles knows the grim truth: Even with the best X-wing jockeys in the galaxy, many will not survive their near-suicidal missions. But when Rogue Squadron is ordered to assist in the assault on the heavily fortified Imperial stronghold of Blackmoon, even the bravest must wonder if any at all will survive. . .

Goodreads review by Jonathan on February 06, 2011

As I’ve chronicled elsewhere, the end of my once-indiscriminate love of everything Star Wars roughly coincided with my graduation from high school and the deepening of my appreciation for more complex, philosophical literature. I did, however, carry a handful of my favorite Expanded Universe books......more

Goodreads review by Herdis Marie on May 23, 2016

So ... Michael Stackpole is not a particularly good writer. Michael Stackpole makes video games. It is abundantly clear when reading this book that its author is more interested in cool space battles and flying craft than he is in creating believable characters or building a coherent plot. I want to......more
