| X-Wing: Iron Fist (1998) by Aaron Allston, 310 pages James Donahue 02 August 2007 The series gets back on track. . . .but is it too late??? | X-Wing: Rogue Squadron by Michael Stackpole, 388 pages James Donahue 26 March 2007 |
X-Wing: Solo Command (1999) by Aaron Allston, 341 pages James Donahue 06 August 2007 Another solid (though not spectacular) installment to this series, which seems to have righted itself after jettisoning its first author. |
X-Wing: The Bacta War (1997) by Michael Stackpole, 349 pages James Donahue 27 April 2007 If it is possible for a sci-fi paperback series to jump the shark, this is it. This book is horrid, abominable. Life oozes out of the reader when he submits to this book. Its like the third season of Alias. I had such low expectations - just a diverting rag to ease my mind after dissertating all day - and yet still. . . My only consolation is that another writer was hired to continue the series on. |
X-Wing: The Krytos Trap (1996) by Michael Stackpole, 355 pages James Donahue 15 April 2007 Did you know that Emperor Palpatine kept trophies from Jedi Knights that fell into Rebel hands when they liberated Coruscant? |
X-Wing: Wedge's Gamble (1996) by Michael Stackpole, 357 pages James Donahue 09 April 2007 Did you know that when the Rebel Alliance retook Coruscant, the Empire released a virus into the planet as they left town? Those dastardly bastards! |
X-Wing: Wraith Squadron (1998) by Aaron Allston, 403 pages James Donahue 01 June 2007 Sludging onward in the series. After the last book bottomed out, a new author decided to blow up the character list and start over. Here Wedge Antilles assembles a group of no-goodnik pilots on their last chance into the most formidible fighting sqaud in the galaxy. Think of the Dirty Dozen in space. . .except without credibiility or sustained plot. |
