Rating: 3 stars
Summary: okay
Review: even though alston is a better author than stackpole, there are somethings i did;nt like about this book:

1)the very tedious missions that wraith squadron takes.

2)Han solo's pathetic "fleet" , consisting of the Mon Remonda.

3)Zsinj's defeat , he has two SSD's!!!! A mon calamari cruiser against two Super Star Destroyers!!!even with thier shields down , they should still be a tough target!!

it's still a good book though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is one of the best Star Wars books I have ever read!
Review: I have enjoyed all of the X-wing books so far, but this one has to be my favorite. Allston has outdone himself this time, from the space battles to the humor. The humor is why I like Iron Fist so much, but there are other reasons too. This Star Wars book, unlike others, actually has a sensible, fun plot, and doesn't focus on what we know as "major" characters. That alone should put it right up there with the Zahn and Stackpole works. I look forward to seeing more books from Allston.

"yub yub, commmander"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another excellent X-Wing book!
Review: Aaron Allstons latest addition to the Z-Wing series is worth the wait. I've finished 3/4 of it so far and am very impressed. The book is a smooth read, along with the very detailed and rich battle scenes and techno mumbo-jumbo we've come to expect from this series. There are many surprises in this book that aren't mentioned in previews. If you like the X-Wing series, this is another fine addition.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great, and Totally Hilarious!
Review: Iron Fist is every bit as wonderful as I had hoped! It's completely hilarious, just like Wraith Squadron, plus there are new characters as quirky as the originals. It's a lot of fun, but the plot is exciting and worthwhile, too. There's even a brief cameo appearance by Rogue Squadron! And fans of Wraith Squadron will die laughing at the continuance and expansion of one of my favorite running jokes. Definitely a must-read. =)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It was pretty cool
Review: Iron fist was a cool book. I really enjoyed it it was exiting and intellegent and the only reason I didn't give it five stars was because I miss rogue sqadron

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excelent continuation of the X-Wing series!
Review: Iron Fist continues the adventures of the controversial X-Wing unity Wraith Squadron. After masquerading as Imperials in the last book, the squadron now is disguised as pirates in attempt to bring down Warlord Zinj. Allston is clearly more comfortable with his characters and they are indeed in rare form. Yet although these are clearly well-written characters, Allston does not hesitate to kill or injure them. He also includes a brand new person into the Wraith mix. Gara Petothal was an Imperial Intelligence officer in the previous X-Wing book. Now disguised as a victim of Imperial exploitation and under the identity of Lara Notsil, she has joined Wraith Squadron, confused as to where her loyalties lie: with her squad mates who trust her or with the Imperials who trained her. Wedge Antilles continues to develop into a stronger character, but what is most impressive is Allston's portrayal of Han Solo. Rather than Solo the rogue and smuggler or even family man from previous books, Allston presents General Solo. Here he is a soldier and tactician, a commander, not just a man with a blaster about to kill the enemies personally. Allston also does a great job with his villains. Both Zinj and Melvar come to life in an interesting way. Unlike other Imperial soldiers, Zinj is not a great tactician like Thrawn, nor is he a force-wielder like Vader and the Emperor, nor is he insane like Isard. Instead he is a soldier who understands the importance of manipulation and subterfuge as well as knowing when to fight and when to retreat. Overall, Iron Fist is an entertaining and well-written Star Wars book. It goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enjoyable Read
Review: I recall this book being very enjoyable as it continues on the x-wing series in an exciting way, which is rather typical of the series. New conflicts arise amonst imperial warlords and the x-wingers are called into action. x-wing fans will enjoy this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: First time I ever cried while reading SW
Review: I LOVE the Wraith books. However, this book was really sad. Without spoiling it for anyone, I will say that it made me cry and I stopped reading it and didn't pick it up again for almost two years! But it's a GREAT book, and I highly encourage you to read it. (But the sad part made me give it only four stars instead of five.)

Oh, and once again-Face and Phanan ROCK!!!
