Rating: Summary: Very good, but not his best Review: I think Mike is better than Aaron, no offense. I think this book was one of the weaker ones. As others have said he used Isard again. That was a bit strange since in Aaron's previous book, solo command, the rouges were dealing with Zinsj (sorry if I misspelled that) and they didn't quite finish him off yet. But Isard is brought back in cleverly. I think the ending was weak since, without giving too much away, all the dead people started to come back to life again. One of the strange thing about Mike's books is that his pilots hardly ever die. And bringing back dead ones that he probably won't use again is a bit silly. I also regret that Wedge gets promoted. So all in all a good read, i recomend it if you've read the others and if you haven't, buy it anyway.PS if anyone knows if there will be anymore books in the series tell me. guns_galore64@yahoo.com
Rating: Summary: AWESOME! Review: I have to strongly disagree with any fool eho gave this book five stars or less. It is an excellent book. I would highly reccomend this book to any Star Wars fan.
Rating: Summary: Excellent edition to the X-Wing series Review: This is truly an excellent edition to the X-Wing series and the Star Wars series. Any Star Wars fan needs to read this book along with the rest of the X-WING SERIES. I highly reccomend tihs book to any Star Wars fan.
Rating: Summary: good, but not great Review: Although I was pleased to see the return of the Rouges in this book, I thought that the last Rouge Squadron based novel did a good job of tying up all the loose ends with the characters, which lead to this book running low on character development. The return of Isard was a big disappointment at the start, because the first four books were dedicated to her downfall and her "death". I felt as if Stackpole ran out of ideas for villains and was just using an old one to create a new book, but then as the plot progressed I ended up liking the book, as Stackpole used his fleshed out characters like Corran and Gavin, and highly descriptive battle sequences to move the mediocre plot along. Overall a fun read but lacking depth.
Rating: Summary: Very good Review: I was extreamly thrilled when Stackpole started writing the X-wing series again. Although Alston has done a formiable job, and provided tons of humor, Stackpole is king. I admit, Gavin Darklighter is my favorite character, so one who's read the book would understand why I was so mad. I use 'mad' strongly here, 'cause they won't let me type anything stronger. I did not understand Asyr's 'mission', nor did I get the need for Iella and Mirax to help her. It was ironic how Mirax was off helping Asyr, and Corran was helping Gavin. OK, that sorta gives it away. Sorry. :) I will say that this book *can* get boring at times, and I didn't understand some. But I thought it was worth my money, and hey, you can always return it and say the "I never read it" kinda thing. ~Nishana
Rating: Summary: BYE BYE ISARD Review: This book was excellent and I suggest reading if if you like Corran Horn, He's the MC if you ask me. E-mail me if you want to talk about SW, My family hates talking about it.
Rating: Summary: Good Book Review: When I started to read this book I was pretty skeptical about whether it was going to be interesting, but as I got deeper into the plot I was amazed. Mike, another great book.
Rating: Summary: Grand closure for an excellent adventure. Review: Isard's Revenge is a quick read, but savory. For a SW fan it's like eating that wonderous dessert after the meal and realizing that you're down to the last bite so you had better enjoy every crumb. The SW universe is a great playroom, and this novel provides some great imagination blocks.
Rating: Summary: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I can't believe all of u who rated this book less than 5 stars. It is the best x-wing book ever!!!!!!! It was great to see Iceheart come back and the plot was great!!
Rating: Summary: A superb book as usual from a great author Review: The book is very good, plot is a bit on the light side (no pun intended), but hey it's Rogue Squadron, so you don't need plot. It does answer alot of questions raised in the last book but also raises a few more. The only downside is that the Donos\Lara sideline is not explored. There should have been some collaboration with other authors, like Zahn does in Specter of the Past and Vision of the Future. if you haven't read the book, read it, its very good
