About this listen

 The fourth book in the epic adventure featuring the fearless pilots of Rogue Squadron.

After her attempt to strike at the heart of Coruscant with a deadly virus, the sinister Ysanne Isard sets her sights on destabilizing the New Republic by seizing its medicinal bacta production. Under the guise of a mere power struggle between corporations on the planet Thyferra, the imperial mastermind has taken control of one of the galaxy's most precious resources.

The heroes of Rogue Squadron are desperate to liberate the planet, and free prisoners trapped by Isard, only to find their plans foiled by the politics of the New Republic, which is set on assigning the squadron elsewhere. With timing and resources running short, Wedge Antilles, Corran Horn, and the other rogues have no choice but to resign from the New Republic.

The team must now go truly rogue to chip away at Isard's power, defeat her powerful complement of Star Destroyers, and free Thyferra from her iron rule. But when she discovers the Squadron's secret base, its pilots must scramble for survival in a winner-take-all battle against Isard's overwhelming and seemingly superior force.

Great story, great characters, this is the first one in the X-Wing series that I have finished reading and it was such a great book, I found myself loving this book and I finished it in a couple of days, I couldn't put this book down. I guarantee you all that this is worth a listen to or a read if you want to get the actual book itself whether paperback or otherwise. Corran Horn is a great protagonist, easily one of the best in the Star Wars Saga and you shall root for him and his friends proudly, just as you did for the noble and brave Luke Skywalker from the classic original films. But Horn isn't the only protagonist of the novel worth rooting for when you get much more character with Wedge Antilles who gets so much more development than he ever does in any of the films and he evolves into a much more well-rounded character.

The space battles that are described in this novel are ones that are just as exciting and thrilling as they are in any of the films combined. There's humour in it, as always Marc Thompson brings his best with his incredible vocal range and it helps bring a lot of the characters to life, he still is one of the best narrators I've ever listened to and he does spot-on impressions of some of the characters from the films like Wedge Antilles. The only thing I might criticise would be some parts when Marc Thompson does the voice of the Imperial Captain near the end of the novel was a little too comical and over the top that I couldn't take the character seriously during the battle sequence, as well as some of the lines that make note of how evil Darth Vader was and how he deserved to die and was beyond saving when they seem to forget that Luke Skywalker was the one who managed to save him in the end, eventually. Aside from those problems with the book and the narration, the book itself is really well-written. There is moments of raw emotion that deals with loss and sorrow and grief that some characters who experience these things during these times of war and battle and the way the author Michael A. Stackpole writes these moments were genuinely heart-breaking and affected me, as I'm sure it will you too when you read them, they're really flawlessly written, as is the rest of the book. The space battles, the action sequences in this book are great and this book really stands alone very well by itself as a self-contained story, you can read this book and come away from it feeling completely satisfied with the story.

This is a story anyone can enjoy and if you're looking for a genuinely great story with great character development and exciting battles sequences, then this is the book you need to get into. Have a nice day, I hope you all check out this book.

Great book and great listen to

I’ve read these books and now I’ve listened to the audiobooks. 100/100 they are as I have been known to say when reviewing books, bloody good. The Wraith Squadron trilogy, isards revenge and starfighers of adumar are all great books and a continuation of Wedge Antilles story. I hope they also get unabridged audio adaptations, but in the meantime I encourage everyone to buy them and read them.

Great series. Fast moving. Excellent story to compliment the star wars story. Look forward to next adventure.

I’d say I enjoyed this book, I liked the characters and I thought they were well fleshed out. The story however, really doesn’t allow for casual listening. I felt I had to know every detail and that meant me missing a few character beats and plot points, which I had to go back on. It was a massive book and I just didn’t have the interest at times to keep up.
Marc Thompson continually impressed me throughout, as he had to juggle all of these characters and make them unique (he is able to do this perfectly)
The space battles were great when they appeared and I liked that the rebels were struggling to find equipment and had to barter with the shadiest of people. It was tense and you weren’t really certain if they could win or not. This series and Andor are good examples of the “the little people” in the Star Wars galaxy, who aren’t outright heroes but complex people fighting for what they believe in.

Hard to follow
