    About this audiobook

    They are the galaxy's most elite fighting force. And as the battle against the Empire rages, the X-wing fighters risk life and machine to protect the Rebel Alliance. Now they must go on a daring undercover mission--as the crew of an Imperial warship.

    It is Wedge Antilles' boldest creation: a covert-action unit of X-wing fighters, its pilots drawn from the dregs of other units, castoffs and rejects 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. But 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.

      Wraith Squadron - the Rogues have serious competition!I was prepared to not like this book. In fact, I put off reading it for 15 years or so. I tore through the first four titles in the X-Wing series of novels when they came out, loving every page Wedge Antilles and Corran Horn remain two of my favorite characters in the Star Wars EU. When I saw that book 5 was NOT actually about Rogue Squadron, I felt a bit betrayed. Stackpole wasn't writing this one and it wasn't even about my Rogues? Why bother? Well, this summer I decided enough was enough and I finally buckled down to read the tale of these so-called Wraiths. I was not prepared for the joy I would find in this book. First of all, Wedge Antilles hasn't gone anywhere. I wished that I'd known sooner that Wedge was the one at the helm of Wraith Squadron - it certainly wouldn't have taken 15 years to read this. With Wes Janson at his side, Wedge builds a team of screw-ups that is as potent a weapon as it is comical. This book closely follows the exploits of the Wraiths as they bond into a new squadron facing adversity, with the space battle action I've come to expect from the X-Wing series. However, this story becomes a tale of espionage, action, humor, and intrigue. I couldn't wait to see what mission they would take on next and how they could possibly pull it off. The pranks and the humor that brings this team together, along with the story crafted by Aaron Allston, makes this a must-read. It was also great to finally get the gaps filled in about Warlord Zsinj's campaign against the fledgling New Republic. In summary, this book is more than a worthy successor to the story of the Rogues in the earlier books of this series. Give it a read. It will NOT disappoint.

      After the success of Rogue Squadron, Wedge forms Wraith Squadron out of the least likely, least successful pilots in the Republic. The training sequences here are my favorite out of all the X-wing books, and there was an added touch of humor that really brought the characters to life. Plus, I had gotten kinda tired of Corran "I'm so awesome" Horn.
    • 4/5
      Plot: The usual Star Wars fare - a main plot with the Imperial bad guys, some character-centric side plots. Well-executed in most cases, with some threads left open for the sequels. Characters: An almost new set compared to the previous four books in the series. Interesting characters, for the most part, and far from perfect. Heavy on the men, which is surprising. There even is slash potential. Style: Allston writes great situation humour and one-liners. The book feels a lot less serious than Stackpole's contributions to the series, but still manages to build up plenty of drama and tension. There are less battles and more personal interaction here. Plus: The book doesn't take itself entirely serious. Good mix of characters, no perfect people around. Minus: A full set of new characters makes it a bit tricky to get into. Not quite as bad as some Star Wars books have been, but difficult especially in battle scenes. Summary: This is where the X-Wing series begins to really be fun. It's also a potential entry point to the series, what with an all-new character roll.
    • 5/5
      This book proves that Aaron Allston is much better at writing "team books" than Stackpole. He does a great job balancing the dozen-plus characters and personalities, and adds plenty of humour, something that's sorely lacking in the Star Wars books. Lots of great ideas, epic space battles and memorable characters and dialogue.
    • 4/5
      Really enjoyed this book. Having read the first few books of the series this was a nice change of pace from the Rouge Squadron focus of the first four books.
