Book Description

Publication Date: 16 Aug 2012 | Series: Star Wars (Book 80)

The X-Wing/Wraith Squadron books are one of the most popular series in the

history of Star Wars novels. Now, the intrepid spy/pilots of Wraith Squadron

are back in an all-new Star Wars adventure set in the time just after the

events of the New York Times bestselling Fate of the Jedi series!

Wraith Squadron was Wedge Antilles's boldest creation: a covert-action unit of

X-Wing fighters, its pilots drawn from the dregs of other units, castoffs and rejects

given one last chance. Now, years after their thrilling adventures during and after

the Rebellion that destroyed the Empire, they're back to deal with a brand-new

mission!

3.0 out of 5 stars It should have been great... 19 Aug 2012
By Paul Robinson
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've just finished reading this book and I find myself a little disappointed - though it was an entertaining read and made me feel very nostalgic for the older books in the series.

As usual, the author has done a remarkable job of bringing the characters to life with a strong plot - he was by far my favourite author of the X-Wing Series.

I just can't seem to connect with the new characters and find the old characters (Face in particular) have been relegated to a supporting role. When the fates of a handful of the older Wraiths are revealed and a few appear in cameo appearances I felt genuinely happy/sad, but as for the newer members... well... I just didn't care!!

Also, it's important that you've kept up to date with the novels as there are numerous references in this book that will confuse matters if you haven't.

Perhaps I just started the reading the book with high expectations after reading the older novels... forgetting that some of the characters are now over fifty years old. Maybe the NEW Wraith Squadron will grow on me.

I hope they get another novel to do that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow start but plot soon sped on 15 Mar 2013
By maddogsue
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Was not too sure if I would get into this when I started but once I got going the story became more interesting and kept me reading. With a new lot of wraiths and few old faces it took a while to remember who was who but once their characters were cemented into my consciousness I enjoyed this. It is set years after the original series so changes had to be made but it was good to meet old friends, Piggy and Face, again. Worth reading as their mission is full of twists and some humour.
