Summary: The 2nd keeper of the 'Star Wars' flame strikes again!
Review: Reading this book made me realize that there are three keepers of the Star Wars flame- Timothy Zahn, Michael Stackpole, and Aaron Allston. Their books alone are suffused with enough action, adventure, plot, and surprises to live up to the movies (all four of them, you non-believers you!). This book had enough twists in it to keep me on the edge of my seat and guessing at the same time, and I liked how he scheduled this one after Thrawn's death but before the Jedi Academy trilogy (blech!), where so far no author has dared to tread. I can't wait for the next one! But, one question-what the heck is Myn Donos doing with the Rogues?

Summary: This was another great addition to the series!
Review: This was a great book from to begining to end. There was deception, and lots of action. However the middle of the book involved lots of planing and since the action wasn't cosistant it slowed the reading to a bore sometimes. It was nice to know Isard was back, there even a surprise for her fans ,making it "twice" as exciting. However to me she didn't do enough to hurt the Republic. I think she was capable of much more especially since there was a lot more of her to go around.And since she teamed up with the New Republic she was in a perfect position to outsmart them I was disasapointed. I liked the last book better "Solo Command" cause the action was consistant. However this was a good read and it is enjoyable. For you fans of the original however there are no appearance by Luke and the gang.

Summary: THIS WAS ONE OF STACKPOLE'S BEST!!!!!
Review: What more do you need to know? This was a worthy entry into the X-Wing series! If not the best, at any rate. If anything, the only thing I found interesting was that none of the veterans such as Ooryl or Gavin didn't die. The only sad thing is that this is going to be Stackpole's last X-Wing book. He should continue with them.

Summary: An excellent addition
Review: Stackpole returns to the X-Wing series with another incredible book. His book brings us back to the adventures of Rogue Squadron, after Thrawn's damaging strike on the New Republic, when another enemy appears on the horizon. But, who is it? Stackpole doesn't dissapoint in another great addition to the Star Wars legend.
Rating:
Summary: Very Iteresting
Review: This book was a lot of fun to read and I liked returning to the rogues. But, the reason i gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 in because there is no expansion on the Lara and Donos plotline. I really would have liked to hear more about that. But, aside from that this was a enjoyable novel and is one of the more intriguing ones in the series.

Summary: A great book of twists and turns. Thank you, Stackpole!
Review: I thought this book was very good and the part about Isard interesting. I'm also glad we're back to Rogue Squadron(No offense to the Wraiths) but Stackpole is just better. But Isard is one twisted, confusing maze. This is a book, I highly suggest.

Summary: Incredible!
Review: This book has so many twist and turns, you may become confused. But dont let these words discourage you, for this is the best of the best. It is better than his previous X- Wing novels, but I dont know if I can say it was better than I,Jedi(now that was a good book). What you might have noticed in the previous books, Corran and Ooryl have bond which I discovered was very similar to that of Nolan and Jevin in his fantasy, and a book I strongly reccomend, Talion:Revenant. Both these books are worth reading numerous times(even though I havent read either more than once I plan to do so in the near future).

Summary: I Thought Isard was dead! What's the deal?
Review: When I started reading this book I was really excited that it was about Rogue Squadron again instead of Wraith Squadron. Don't get me wrong the Wraith Squadron books were good, but Corran Horn is my favorite character. If you've read any of the other X-Wing books it is written the same way (which can be a good or bad thing depending on whether or not you liked the other X-Wing books). It starts off with a quick interesting battle. Something bad happenns, about 100 pages of the good guys looking for the bad guys, and its all followed up with a big long battle. There is only one thing I didn't like about the book: Isard is supposed to be dead. I mean they already killed her in book 4 or something. This is the only thing that I don't like about the Star Wars books: no one seems to ever really die. If you can live with that, and you liked the other 7 X-Wing books then this one is a deffinate must.

Summary: Finally, Stackpole delivers another one!
Review: As a fan of the X-Wing series from book one, I was thrilled when I got my hands on the new Stackpole book, returning back to Rogue Squadron. The book was enjoyable, and I would recommend it to any fan of Star Wars. However, there are some redundancies that pop up, and disappointments. First, there is a commonly held belief among readers of Star Wars novels that "There have been no 'real' bad guys since Thrawn". I agree. Isard, Krennel, Daala, the Hutts (Darksaber), the list goes on. If the Empire were that big and bad, wouldn't they have snubfighters with shields, and pilots who didn't die get slaughtered by the dozens? If they were that powerful, then there had to be some decent tactical minds other than the Emperor. In this book, the characters of Khee-Jeen Slee, and the Ithorian (whose name now slips my mind) are obviously "throw away" characters. I could tell this from the start. I was disappointed that there was little to none in the way of scenes and dialogue involving Myn Donos or Wes Janson (no more "yub, yub, general"), both carry overs from the Wraiths. Also, I was expecting to read more about Hobbie Klivan, who has, to date, had only cameos in X-Wing novels. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the book, but there was room for improvement. Some of this is not Mr. Stackpole's fault, with it being the Star Wars universe that he has to work within.
