Summary: Great action as Rogues and Wraiths take it to Warlord Zinj
Review: This book really puts the pedal to the metal in the Xwing series. It's great! Massive fleet actions, nefarious skullduggery from Warlord Zinj, clever tricks from your favorite fighter pilots. See Runt get really mad! Listen to Corellian in-jokes! See Wedge Antilles face down Baron Fel! Watch Gara/Lara, everyone's favorite disillusioned spy, walk a tightrope, TWICE! Marvel as Allies arrive from strange quadrants! Ponder Myn Donos's painful decision.... AND You'll never look at Ewoks the same again! But really this one is quite good, lots of the Wraiths and Rogues get a chance to shine, and there are good bits for everyone from Squeeky, the free droid quartermaster, to Chewbacca and Han Solo. Well developed characters, lots of starship action, and a steadily intensifying pace make this a real good read. A must-have for any Star Wars or SF fan.

Summary: Info!
Review: Okay. Here's what I know. The 2 squadrons aren't being combined-just united under Wedge's command. Wraith Squadron will be getting new members-who I believe will all be flight officers. This book is about Myn Donos (like WRAITH SQUADRON focused on Kell, IRON FIST on Face), and he should, like, fall in love. However, he already fell in love- with Falynn, (who is now dead). Now, his options are Shalla and Lara/Gara. I have a feeling it's gonna be Shalla, though I don't know why. Also, I know that the Lara/Gara issue will be resolved, though I don't know how.

Summary: SOLO COMMAND is the best X-Wing Series book yet!
Review: In my opinion, this was the best X-Wing Series book ever. The book's main character is Lieutenant Myn Donos. The "Wraiths" are nicely developed, but in my opinion, the Rogues could have used more attention. I was a bit disappointed to find that Corran Horn and the rest of my favorite Rogues are mentioned only a couple times. Aaron Allston has put in 4 new squadron members--3 in the Rogues, 1 in the Wraiths. I'd have to say that my favorite new character is the superstitious F.O. Elassar Targon of the Wraiths. I just know you'll love the elaborate revenge Wedge Antilles sets up for Wes Janson. All in all, this was an incredibly good book that I highly recommend.

Summary: The best yet!
Review: Just as Iron Fist focused on "Face" Loran, so does Solo Command focus on a character who's intrigued me from the beginning, Myn Donos. Also, finally we get right down to it with Zsinj, who is troublesome as ever. While the Courtship of Princess Leia portrayed Zsinj as an almost cartoonish villain, this author makes him seem much more threatening, and even interesting as a character in his own right. Each of the Wraith's continue to grow as characters and as a team in general, and we can easily see the contrast between these fighters and the overly "goody" rogues. This book is definitely the best one yet, as it wraps up this particular storyline and increases the tension a hundred fold. The down side? This is the last book about the Wraiths! I definitely think this author is one of the best we've heard from in the Star Wars universe, and I can't wait to see what he does in the New Jedi Order.

Summary: Solo Command
Review: As the final powerhouse story in Allston's Wraith Squadron Trilogy, Solo Commander is an impressive feat. Based on the continuing hunt for Warlord Zinj, General Solo along with Commander Antilles and his loyal pilots continue to show off their skills in ways that make this a fun and exciting read. The Lara Notsil/Gara Petothal issue is resolved in a way that is both satisfying and leaves the reader wanting more, perhaps an opening for another X-Wing book. Anyway, the main story sees the defeat of Zinj, although not permanentaly as well as some of best action in the expanded universe. With this trilogy, Allston gave us memorable characters including Face, Donos, Elesser, Tyra and others, but he fleshed out those that already existed especially Melvar and Zinj two bad guys who hardly get mentioned in the book where they play such a big role (The Courtship of Princess Leia) as well as giving Han Solo a chance to be a general. That was one of the best developments in this series. Allston contributed excellently to the X-Wing series. He also wrote one more X-Wing book as well as two of the better New Jedi Order books. He is really an excellent contributer to the Star Wars universe.

Summary: Solid and satisfying conclusion to the Wraith Trilogy.
Review: The Rogue and Wraith Squadrons team up under Han Solo to take out Warlord Zsinj once and for all, Lara Notsil's treasonous past is finally revealed, and...ah heck JUST READ THIS BOOK! A complete blast from beginning to end with a nice emotionally satisfying conclusion that also sets up Dave Wolverton's The Courtship of Princess Leia and one that will have you rushing out to find the next volume in the series, just to see if certain plot threads are picked up and woven into the next story. I for one hope they are, these characters really grow on you and I hate to see them go. Highly recommended.

Summary: Kiss my Wookie
Review: Han makes a war lord real made in this one. This book sets up part of the plot in the Courtship of Princess leia.Allston is one of my favorite writers in the SW universe. I even read his NJO book, even though it is a "post SBS book". Aaron uses humor and action to tell a goood, fun to read story.

Summary: You can't look dignified when you're having fun
Review: The Wraiths return once again! Now they're under the command of General Han Solo himself!
Again, Aaron Allston does a terrific job, and the humor we all know and love from the Wraiths is top notch. Who is Kettch, and what's his deal? Who said "Nice rear, Lt!" to who? The characters in the Wraith books are very well-rounded and believable, and the book deals with serious issues, as well as humorous situations, and does so in a way that ties them together.
(The only scary part is that Wes Janson is actually, next to Wedge, one of the most MATURE members of the squadron!)
