Synopsis

Led by Wedge Antilles, the legendary pilots of Rogue Squadron prepare to risk everything in their battle against the Empire.

Sleek, swift, and deadly, they are the X-wing fighters. And as the battle against the Empire rages across the vastness of space, the pilots risk both their lives and their machines for the cause of the Rebel Alliance. Now they must embark on a dangerous espionage mission, braving betrayal and death on the Imperial homeworld to smash the power of a ruthless foe!

It is the evil heart of a battered and reeling Empire: Coruscant, the giant city-world from whose massive towers the Imperial High Command directs the war. The Rebels will invade this mighty citadel in a daring move to bring the Empire to its knees. But first Wedge Antilles and his X-wing pilots must infiltrate Coruscant to gain vital intelligence information. Capture means death, or worse—trapped in the clutches of the vicious leader known as “Iceheart,” Ysanne Isard, now Emperor in all but name.

And one of Rogue Squadron’s own is already her slave, a traitor hidden behind a mask of innocence, working to betray both colleagues and the Rebellion itself.

Goodreads review by Herdis Marie on May 23, 2016

Ok, I was seriously worried that all of Stackpole's X-Wing books would get only one or two stars from me. I am happy to say that "Wedge's Gamble" surprised me, and I was able to give it a whopping THREE stars. Glory, glory. Don't get me wrong, Stackpole is still a pretty seriously shitty writer, but......more

Michael A. Stackpole’s X-Wing: Wedge’s Gamble is the second in the lengthy series of Star Wars Legends novels focusing on the adventures of starpilot Wedge Antilles and the members of the squadrons under his command. The premise of this story is somewhat credulity-stretching. Using the pilots of the......more

Goodreads review by Arthur on October 14, 2020

The Rogues are back for another adventure, this time going undercover to infiltrate Coruscant ahead of the rebel invasion. Does it make sense to send a squad of your most deadly fighter pilots on a spying mission? Maybe not! But I won't criticize Admiral Ackbar's tactical acumen when it results in a......more

Goodreads review by Joshua on March 05, 2024

4 out of 5 stars - a fitting follow up to Rogue Squadron. This was a solid read and a great Star Wars book that followed “the regulars” during a time of war. If you like a book about battle, espionage, and revolution - this is for you. This book felt more like it was setting something up that being i......more
