About this listen

 As the battle against the Empire rages, a new crew of X-wing fighters risk life and machine on a daring undercover mission and emerge as the Rebel Alliance’s elite strike force.

It is Wedge Antilles’s boldest creation: a covert-action unit of X-wing fighters, its pilots drawn from the dregs of other units, castoffs and rejects being given one last chance. But before the new pilots can complete their training, the squadron’s base is attacked by former Imperial admiral Trigit and Wraith Squadron is forced to swing into action—taking over an Imperial warship and impersonating its crew.

The mission: to gain vital intelligence about Trigit’s secret weapons, to sabotage the admiral’s plans, and to lure him into an Alliance trap. However, the high-stakes gamble pits Wraith Squadron’s ragtag renegades against the Empire’s most brilliant master of guile and deception.

Are they up to the challenge?

If not, the penalty is instant death. Adventure Science Fiction Space Opera

Michael Stackpole's Rogue Squadron books were favourites of mine when I was a kid and I was excited as hell to finally get an unabridged audiobook recording of them. Unfortunately time hadn't been kind to them - books that had been such a huge deal in my teen years proved very disappointing in the cold light of day, with one-dimensional boring characters (looking at you Corran Horn) and some very lazy storytelling.

Wraith Squadron is nothing like that.

From the off we've got Aaron Allston's trademark humour and grasp of characterisation. The book is laugh-out-loud funny several times. Allston manages to introduce the twelve members of Wraith Squadron, plus a roster or enemies and allies, and every single one of them is a rounded, memorable character with flaws and complexities and depth. This is very much the Dirty Dozen in the Star Wars universe, and it works so well.

And as always, Marc Thompson's narration takes it over the top. There's no better Star Wars narrator.

I can't wait to hear the rest of the series.

*THIS* is more like it - yub yub, Commander

The finest book in the series, Kel Tainer is far more nuanced than Korran Horn, and has actual character growth. The same can be said for the rest of the cast, and their outrageous plans.

It is the first X-Wing book that actually was properly good, and the scenes were something out of an old video game. Very charming.

Decent characters, at long last!
