Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Jerry on June 15, 2024

The X-Wing series is among the most beloved facets of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and books like this make it easy to see why.

3,5 stars First of all, WOW, did this beat Stackpole's sorry excuse for writing down in the dust. I am so relieved. Not only has Allston written several more books in the X-Wing series, he has also written many of the other SW books. Now I can look forward to them with pleasure. So, "Wraith Squadron" is......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on April 04, 2011

I was wondering where the series was headed after the last book. "The Bacta War" was a satisfying end to the Rogue Squadron's saga and so when the next novel started, under the direction of new writer Aaron Allston, what stories could be mined from Wedge Antilles and his X-wing fighters? It turns ou......more

Goodreads review by Adam on January 08, 2024

Wonderful book. It had just about everything you could ask for. Dramatic emotional moments, lots of humor, great characters introduced and developed, it's clever, it's fun, and it has real stakes. It's actually impressive to start a whole squad like this from scratch and still make the book and char......more

Goodreads review by Tom on September 19, 2014

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 Coran Horn remain two of my favor......more
