Summary: Bre's
Comment: Out of the five books where Isard is the bad guy, this one is the best. I think one of the best things about Stackpole's writing is the empathy he creates for and with the characters. The characters feel real emotion, and are not stereotyped. (Stereotyping, by the way, tends to be a problem with some Star Wars novels.) The book is exiciting and well-paced, though, unfortunately, I am not very keen on the whole space battle thing. I am more interested in other aspects of Star Wars. I must also say that the inclusion of Booster Terrik added some good humour to the situation, which I thought was good. In addition, we also have an appearance by Talon Karrde. Overall, a great read. Recommended to any fan of the X-Wing series.

Summary: Excellent Finish to the First X-Wing Set!
Comment: The Bacta War was the first X-Wing novel I ever read. It's dynamic storytelling hooked me right away even though I didn't know all the history of the previous 3 books. Stackpole is at his best mixing up space dogfights with brutal firefights and large scale planetary conquest. Yet for all its grandeur, this story is an intimate one. The moment when Corran Horn meets his girlfriends father is hysterical yet at the same time totally believable. This is Star Wars on a new level. The characters introduced and continued in the first 3 novels come alive with a vividness that is startling. The villain is totally evil and because of the way Stackpole played in the treachery of a Rogue, the story takes on a more personal note for the reader. They identify more with the renegade Rogues, creating a tense and sweeping space yarn. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Excellent Fun!
Comment: Set after X-Wing: The Krytos Trap. The Rogues have resigned their post as New Republic "wingcreatures" and have become a band of "Pirates" (Wedge doesn't think this properly fits them) to oust IceHeart from Thyferra. Booster Terrik surfaces and works with Talon Karrde on getting good deals for the Rogues' supplies. A group of Twi'leks join them in their pursuits, as well as an Alderaanian War Cruiser. (it's spooky). Spies are in the mist and the Ashurn Rebels on Thyferra are pretty cool. They sneak around and when their opponents are least suspecting, they get 'em. Read it and you'll find out. This is a fine literary example that proves reading can be fun.
