Aaron Allston took Wedge and his friends and sent them on an epic and humorous adventure.

I think this is one of my favourites. The quartet of pilots (or madmen) work beatifully together.

Hands down, this is the wittiest Star Wars book in existence. This is a great book for making your day better.

A condensed version of an X-wing book. Which has its good and bad points. Instead of juggling a twelve man squadron plus additional supporting characters, we only have a handful of pilots, assistants, and enemies to deal with. Instead of a full military campaign where the main characters go on several missions, there's only one assignment that's the focus of the entire book. Instead of a romance building over the course of the book between two characters, they just seem to decide at one point that they're now officially going to be a couple. I don't know if this is the shortest book in the X-wing series, but it definitely feels like it.

Over all, I enjoyed it. The sense of humor from Allston's previous work on the series is definitely here. Which helps to balance a bit of grimness that creeps into the story at the edges. At least with what I've read in other Star Wars novels before, I don't recall other stories where the heroes of the Alliance/New Republic have been quite so antagonistic towards each other.

I've always enjoyed this series about Rogue Squadron's adventures and this book did not disappoint. Even though, it won't be canon going forward it was still worth reading.

[Reread] Still smart, still incredibly funny, no matter how many times I've read it. What a great book, and as ever kudos to Allston for once again cleaning up one of KJA's messes. <3
