Summary: A GREAT BOOK FOR FANS EVERYWHERE
Review: Wedge's Gamble continues the amazing X-Wing series. The book is brillantly written and the ending is totally unpredictable. Anyone who likes Star Wars should read it.

Summary: This Book Was Just As Good As The First, If Not Better
Review: This book had a little more of a plot to it than the first one, I think. I liked this one because the Rouges had use a little brain power. This time they just don't go around dusting TIE's. Another reason that I liked it was because it had some aireal combat, but a lot of the action was on the ground. It was cool having the Rouges fighting of stormtrooper insted of of just blowing the crap of TIE's.

Rating:
Summary: Great characters and story.
Review: This book is another excellent one in the X-Wing series. Just splendid X-Wing dogfights that have great detail and drama. Also, the plot is superb and very believable. For an extra bonus, the end has a suprising plot twist that most people won't see coming. Must read book!

Rating:
Summary: exciting, but lacking of the first
Review: I found the book exiting in the way it continues the story from the first book, but it did lack the dogfights of the rouge squadron name. it was dull at times and draged on in the middle portion but over all a good continuation of the first. I feel it needed more in the explanation of how coruscant acualy was taken. really lacked in the explaination of it and coulda been like 6 or 7 chapters longer. well worth reading if ya like book 1.

Rating:
Summary: A very exciting edition to the rouge squadran saga!!
Review: At the begginning of this book i was a bit worried about just how well it would compare to the brilliant first book but after the first few pages you soon realise that i'ts every bit as good. The people who say that it's to far fetched to be realistic i say one thing to "this is star wars what do you expect!!"

Summary: Not as good a 1st book
Review: In this second installment of X-Wing books the Rogues take on Imperial Center (Coruscant) and take it over for the New Republic. If you ask me it seems a bit of a stretch - a group of fighter jocks take out the capital world of the Empire!? Hmmm - now for sure Isard had a plan by releaseing the virus and creating problems for the new Republic, but I guess I envisioned a grander struggle for this ancient of all planets and cultures - Perhaps a more intense fleet battle - oh, well. It was a good read. Fast paced and all that. I especially like the fact that Stackpole doesn't have a problem with killing off peripheral good guys - Lucas didn't seem to have a problem with it either (see Biggs, Dev, Obi-Wan, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, etc.) It gives depth and realism to the story and helps mature and reveal the main characters. Good book, but not as good as the first one - stick to strike and fade.

Summary: Stackpole does it again
Review: In this new thrilling book rogue squadron is sent on a daring mission to Imperial capital,Coruscant. There, they collect information on the planet on how to take it over.This is a good plan, but Ysanne Isard has a little something up her sleave. I also liked the mention of old starwars heroes like Leia, Luke, and Han.This an excellent sequel to the equally exciting first starwars rogue squadron book.

Summary: this book his execellante

Summary: The name's Horn, Corran Horn.
Review: In the sequel to the awesome Rogue Squadron book by Michael A. Stackpole, the author takes our favorite fighter pilots into the world of espionage and commando black-ops. The Rogues are called in to help bring down Imperial City, the urban planet of Coruscant. Sent in under disguises and armed only with their wits and blasters, the Rogues make history in another hard-to-put-down adventure novel. Despite the simple fact that this book is longer and slightly slower moving than the first, Mr. Stackpole's writing shines through the epic plot and makes the reader feel like they are right next to Corran Horn, as he calls upon his CorSec officer skills and saves the day. Filled with spectacular scenes (the speeder bike chase through the city is quite nice) and a shattering climax, Wedge's Gamble successfully tackles the world of spies and blows the reader away, yet again. In all, an excellent book that still contains our favorite dogfights and characters, yet adds a new twist and makes for a great time in the land far, far away.
