The X-wing fighter pilots have earned their reputation as the Rebel Alliance's ultimate strike force by overwhelming enemies with their rapid-fire assaults. But now they are about to embark on a diplomatic mission that will prove to be even more hazardous than all-out combat.
The neutral world of Adumar has decided to pick a side in the war to control the galaxy. Delegates from both the New Republic and the Empire have been invited to Adumar, and each camp will be given a chance to plead its government's case. But there is one small catch: since the Adumari prize military skill above all else, they insist that both delegations be composed exclusively of fighter pilots.
For pilot Wedge Antilles and his company, it's an unfamiliar exercise in diplomacy and one that's filled with unexpected peril. For once they arrive, the X-wing pilots are challenged by Adumar's fierce warriors and attacked by Imperial assassins bent on eliminating all competition. But these challenges pale in comparison to the threat posed by a rogue Republic agent, one who is determined to win Adumar's allegiance once and for all - even if it costs the X-wing pilots their lives.

"This is by far my favorite Star Wars novel. Instead of focusing on Rogue Squadron or Wraith Squadron like the previous X-wing novels, the novel focuses on original Rogues Wedge, Tycho, Wes, and Hobbie. The group dynamics are handled very well and,as always, the fighter combat is superb." — Sam (5 out of 5 stars)

" This focuses mostly on Wedge, Porkins, and Wes Janson. I loved this book, pure and simple. Incredibly humorous and fun to read. "
" Hands down, this is the wittiest Star Wars book in existence. This is a great book for making your day better. "
" This is an amazing book. Though it is very funny, it has some very good lessons in it, and makes you think. It also has some romance (clean romance) which helps. Though it is the ninth in a series, it can be read alone. "
" One of my all time favorite Star Wars books and only one of a few that I ever read more than once. I think the best of all the X-wing books. Made me laugh so many times. "
" Worst X-Wing book. Really disappointed in Allston, because the Wraiths are my favorites. But man! I forced myself to finish this book. "
" How could you not love a Star Wars book that has the worlds four favorite fighter pilots in it, Wedge, Wes, Tycho, and Hobbie. Awesome. Oh, and Wedge finds love. "
" Probably the weakest of the x-wing books. I almost didn't finish it. Weak characters, thin plot, bad pacing, the characters react differently from any of the previous books. Just not a good novel. "
" Arguably the most entertaining of all the star wars books. "
" Overall the x-wing series were not bad reads. "
" I enjoyed this one. The X-Wing books seem to have that correct balance of humour, story and action. There isn't really much of a story here, but Allston does a good job writing the action and focusing on the human nature of the characters. "
" The Star Wars universe becomes very enjoyable when it doesn't tale itself too seriously. "
" A nice addition to the series. A lot more humour/banter as wel. "
