Publisher Description

They are the X-wing fighters: sleek, swift, and deadly. 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!

It is at 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.

"2nd book of the X-Wing Series. The enjoyed the ongoing character development in this book, though I felt that it was a little slower than the first. This was the book that I decided that Coran Horn was going to become a stable figure in the Star Wars Universe."

    " Decent book - enjoyed the first one a little more I think, but still a fun read. I can see why so many people think highly of the X-Wing series. "

    " Another great book in my all-time favorite Star Wars series. Stackpole needs to return to the X-Wing series, maybe during the time between Empire and Jedi. "

    " 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. "
