Product Description

Product Description
The X-wing pilots are preparing to invade Coruscant, the heart of the battered Empire. But first Wedge Antilles and his rogue squadron must infiltrate the Imperial centre to get intelligence information, and risk capture by the ruthless leader known as "Iceheart', now Emperor in all but name.

From the Back Cover
Sleek, swift, and deadly, they are the X-wing fighters. And as the battle against the Empire rages across the vastness of space, the pilots risk both their lives and their machines for the cause of the Rebel Alliance. Now they must embark on a dangerous espionage mission, braving betrayal and death on the Imperial homeworld to smash the power of a ruthless foe!

X-WING WEDGE'S GAMBLE

It is the evil heart of a battered and reeling Empire: Coruscant, the giant city-world from whose massive towers the Imperial High Command directs the war. The Rebels will invade this mighty citadel in a daring move to bring the Empire to its knees. But first Wedge Antilles and his X-wing pilots must infiltrate Coruscant to gain vital intelligence information. Capture means death, or worse - enslavement by the vicious leader known as 'Iceheart', Ysanne Isard, now Emperor in all but name. And one of Rogue Squadron's own is already her slave, a traitor hidden behind a mask of innocence, working to betray both colleagues and the Rebellion itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fan-tastic, 15 Nov 2003
By S. Walker "starwarsdave" (Japan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Better than the first in the series, and argueably better than those that follow. You name it - its got it: action...well, I won't say any more because I don't want to spoil it!
There are few books in my collection that I have read so much, I mean, who wouldn't want to fly an X-wing if given the chance?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but no Rogue Squadron, 14 Jan 2001
By A Customer
If the main selling point of a series named X-Wing is X-Wing fighters, then where are they? To my mind the original Rogue Squadron was good because it was a Star Wars version of the old Biggles books. This is an entirely ground-based, conspiracy theory book which does not grab me as much as the last one. Apart from this, it is still a fast paced, action packed book that will entertain any Star Wars fan who knows their stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stackpole does it again!, 28 Aug 2000
By A Customer
The second book in the series is great, like the first it's full of action, suspense and intrigue. I was kept guessing as to who the traitor was. One problem: are we supposed to believe Rogue Squadron is all it takes to conquer Coruscant?
