Summary: It's definately a Star Wars book!!!
Review: Personaly, I think it was fantastic book. Some parts are hard to understand at first, but I've been reading Star Wars for so long, it seems like second nature to me. There was a lot of humor in the book, and that's terrific. There's also plenty of action, so it's definately NOT boring. Aaron Allston did a great job, and I'm sure Iron Fist is just as good(probably since I read it). I can't wait until the next book comes out.

Summary: One of the best books in this series.
Review: Although this book only features Rogue Squadron in the beginning, I completely forgot about them as I continued reading throughout the whole book. The way that the pilots deceived the Admiral and the Warlord was the best kind of trickery I have ever seen. I was impressed by what they did and I admire the way that they did it. I can't wait to get book #6 and pick up the story where it left off. This book is a must for any Star Wars fans who like this kind of stuff.

Summary: It was fantastic!!
Review: Wraith Squadron (alias Silly Squadron and Dinner Squadron) was one of the funniest books I have ever read, this is definately worth 5 stars. Trust me. I laughed my brains out over this book, it was definately a book more than worthy of being a sequel to the Rogue Squadron series!
Rating:
Summary: Very funny
Review: This was an awesome book. At first I didn't think it was going to be as good as the first 4 books but this is better. The book was much easier to follow and very funny. And you got to meet all of the characters. Not just a couple. The only bad thing is that they made the Imperials look like fools.

Summary: A FUNNY Star Wars Book!
Review: I thought the Rogue Squadron series was good, but there was one flaw I saw in it. Only some of the characters were concentrated on. For instance, I rarely know anything about Rhysati Ynr!! But with this book!! Every character from squad leader Wedge to mechanic Cubber. ALso, this book was one of the few funny Star Wars book. "Yub, yub, commander!" I do agree that maybe Mr. Allston borrowed a little too much from Rogue Squadron; e.g., the main character's wingman is alien who refers to himself abnormally...But this is still one of the best books I've read!

Summary: Wraith Squadron?
Review: After reading the first four books in the X-Wing series, I was interested in finding out if there were to be any more. When I found out about Wraith Squadron, I anticipated one worthy of the previous four. This book had spelling and grammar mistakes which made me need to read certain sections four or five times over. The characters weren't as well described as in the prior 4 editions of the X-Wing series and the battles lacked any real passion being written into them. Even at this I have gone out and bought the sequel to Wraith Squadron, "Iron Fist" Hoping for a much better book.
Rating: 
Summary: Good Book overall
Review: This book was OK. The Imperials are kinda dumb , and Admiral Trigit , called at the back of the book , "the Empire's master of guile and deception" is a complete idiot. Also Warlord Zsinj is depected as having only his SSD Iron Fist , while in Courtship he had allot more warships. overall a good read and explains how the New Republic managed to catch Zsinj.

Summary: Allston writes as well as Stackpole, with added humor.
Review: I thought 'Wraith Squadron' was very well written. It had some humorous parts in it ("Yub yub commander") as well as retaining most of the X-Wing battle action. I think 5 books is probably enough for a series, and I'm not sure 'Iron Fist' and the other upcoming X-Wing books will have much more to add, since Iron Fist isn't destroyed until 'Courtship of Princess Leia'.

Summary: Nothing like the others, an insult to Stackpole
Review: After I was hooked by Stackpoles first four books (My AOL screenname is even named after Corran Horn), I thought that Wraith Squadron would be just as good. However, the characters were shallow, the plot predictable, the battles without feeling, and an overall bad plot. Allston tried to put a basic, shallow love story (which is only about looks, might I add, no character there) into the X-wing series, and did a terrible job. The characters didn't seem at all themselves, and the many new ones had very little background. I've written many stories myself, and I think I know how characters should be presented. Allston did a pretty bad job. The only way you found out any background was from one character simply stating it. And most characters didn't even have that background. You have a three-sentence summary of a character's former life, and that's all. I think that Stackpole should've written the next book. And when I found out that Allston was working on a 6th book in the series, I tossed my copy down on the floor. I think that Allston should stop trying to follow in a greater man's footsteps.
Rating:
Summary: Definetly not even half as good as the previous four books.
Review: Considering that Aaron Allston stole all of Stackpole's character ideas. First, Kell Tainer's wingman talks about himself in an odd way saying "we did that" instead "I did that", as Ooryl says "Ooryl did that" instead of "I did that". a small coincidence, right? No. Now we learn that a fellow Wraith killed his father, like Corran put Mirax's father Booster on Kessel. Then he got the great idea of changing references to some things, such as in Stackpole's books, Wedge Antilles referred to the Strike Foils as S-Foils, then all of the sudden this fool Allston comes along ans Wedge calls them Strike Foils, great consistency eh? Compared to the previous X-Wing books, Wraith Squadron was a failure, but I will read the sequel, which I hope will have at least an unpredictable ending, instead of the entire book being totally boring, such as in Wraith Squadron. Bantam Books needs to get Michael Stackpole in here to kill of those carbon copied Rogues and try to repair the damage Allston has done to the Star Wars saga.
