Publisher Description

The Alliance Fleet mounts a major campaign against a deadly warlord. Tyrant Ysanne Isard has taken control of Thyferra, intending to use its supply of medicinal bacta to destabilize and destroy the New Republic. Undermanned and deprived of Alliance support, Rogue Squadron must oppose Isard's plans, defeat her Star Destroyer fleet, and free Thyferra from her rule in a winner-take-all battle against a seemingly superior force.

"By far the best book in the series; with exciting space combat and stolen Star Destroyers. Stackpole's novels are among the most interesting Star Wars books around because he understands that there are more stories to tell beyond focusing on the well known film characters."

    " This is my second favorite Star Wars author. He's very similar to and almost as good as Timothy Zahn. T.Z.'s are cleaner, though. "

    " I read a lot of Star Wars novels in Jr. High. It took a few dozen books before I realized many of them just weren't all that stellar. The X-Wing series of books were a little better than most, in sheer entertainment. But they are all air and no substance, as I recall. Fun, but not much more. "

    " This is one of my favourites of this series, if not my favourite. Plenty of action and drama, and the established characters are written perfectly. "

    " This was a good end to the Isanne Ysard reign! I would say the series, but I know this continues on into a couple more books. :) I really enjoyed this book and the characters. "

    " While it's not my favorite of the first part of the X-Wing saga, Stackpole did a good job of bringing this part of the story to a satisfying end. I don't have any specific negative criticism of this book. I just didn't enjoy it as much as the first three. "

    " Probably ought to be 3.5, but I wanted to give Stackpole credit for successfully finishing a series in less than a dozen books. (No small accomplishment these days.) "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " Of all the books in Stackpole's part of the X-Wing series, this is probably my favorite part. It's a lot of fun, and it brings the arc begun in Rogue Squadron to a satisfying conclusion. "
