Summary

They are the X-wing fighters: sleek, swift, and deadly. And as the struggle rages across the vastness of space, the fearless men and women who pilot them risk both their lives and their machines. Their mission: to defend the Rebel Alliance against a still powerful and battle-hardened Imperial foe in a last ditch effort to control the stars!

Its very name strikes fear in enemy hearts. So when Rebel hero Wedge Antilles rebuilds the legendary Rogue Squadron, he seeks out only the best, the most skilled, the most daring X-wing pilots. Through arduous training and dangerous missions, he weeds out the weak from the strong, assembling a group of hard-bitten warriors willing to fight and ready to die.

Antilles knows the grim truth: that even with the best X-wing jockeys in the galaxy, many will not survive their near suicidal missions. But when Rogue Squadron is ordered to assist in the assault of the heavily-fortified Imperial stronghold of Black Moon, even the bravest must wonder if any at all will survive.

Hard to hear

The narrator’s performance is extremely flat. There is little effort make to distinguish characters and the music ends up drowning out the narration when it starts

Narrator not engaging at all

I am a life long Star Wars fan, however never ventured into the expanded universe as much. Yes, condemn me haha. I remember seeing the original trilogy at the cinema when they first came out. Anyhow everyone says this series is great to read. I am going to buy the written version as I have been totally put off by the narrator. As someone said, he sounds bored throughout and really does little to engage a listener.

Love the book - even 16 years after reading it!

I love the X-Wing series - games, comics and books - Stackpole and Holland really do make the EU come alive for the Rogues and other pilots!

A lot of original text missing

Severely truncated compared to paper edition. Good narration, although with unnecessary sound effects. Would not recommend.

Remove the sound FX!

I was really shocked to hear this one full of sound FX which in some places stop you hearing the voice.

I can't recommend this book until those are removed.

God Awful audiobook

The audiobook is hard to follow, jumps to one place to the other. Henry Thomas does one voice so you can't really tell when he jumps from one character to the other. Skippable. I would just buy the book and read it. I myself will buy a kindle and read the books that way.

The VERY Abridged Version

Cuts a hell of a lot out of the original story. Might be able to get on board if it was read by someone like Marc Thompson. This guy is painful to listen to though.
