Narrative Supposing Books Rogue Squadron (Star Wars: X-Wing #1)
They are sleek, swift, and deadly. They are the X-wing fighters. And as the struggle rages across the vastness of space, the fearless men and women who pilot them risk both their lives and their machines. Their mission: to defend the Rebel Alliance against a still-powerful and battle-hardened Imperial foe in a last-ditch effort to control the stars!Its very name strikes fear into enemy hearts. So when Rebel hero Wedge Antilles rebuilds the legendary Rogue Squadron, he seeks out only the best -- the most skilled, the most daring X-wing pilots. Through arduous training and dangerous missions, he weeds out the weak from the strong, assembling a group of hard-bitten warriors willing to fight, ready to die. Antilles knows the grim truth: that even with the best X-wing jockeys in the galaxy, many will not survive their near-suicidal missions. But when Rogue Squadron is ordered to assist in the assault on the heavily fortified Imperial stronghold of Black Moon, even the bravest must wonder if any at all will survive. . . .

THIS. I love seeing Wedge Antilles get more time, he makes it through the movies, he's a top fighter pilot, I love seeing him commanding. Well written, well done, what should be expected of a Star Wars book. I read it when it first came out and have recently re-read it. It was just as good the second time around.I picked up this title because I was in the mood to try a Star Wars novel and this series was highly recommended by several friends and other Star Wars fans. However, I was disappointed in this one. Now I know that reading about spaceship battles cannot be even half as exciting as watching it on the screen, with all the special effects to back up the action (even the older effects of the original trilogy), but this was worse than I had expected. All the space battles are bogged down with lots of
It might be a legends storyline but I just have a thing for Fighter pilots and their adventures. Be it Alphabet Squadron or Rogue Squadron. I can't get enough. I'll likely end up reading the rest of this series despite it no longer being Canon because Stackpole does such a good job with his characterization and I find the space combat scenes to be most rewarding.
Seinfeld was the show about nothing.. And this is the book about nothing. 400 pages of talking, exposition, training simulations, 1 dimensional characters and NO STORY.Getting to the end of this was brutal. Every word of it I forced myself through. Every single page I was counting forward to where the chapter finished just so I could stop. At 300 pages, I gave up and read another book then figured I should come back and finish it. But it was hard work.Every character is 1 dimensional with no
Okay. I can't remember the plot *at all*. But I do remember that I really enjoyed reading this series despite being a bit sceptical on the outset (ventured into it based on gushing reviews from a friend). I wouldn't know how it holds up right now though. Tempted to do a re-read... but TBR pile so win. LOL.
I've read this book quite a few times. The most recent reading (2018), I have to say the thing that impresses me the most about this book is the fact that it get so much done. Twists, turns, laughs, tears. It's all here. I have a hard time getting into some of the other Star Wars books because I always compare them to the X-Wing Series. I'm going to be getting the comics next.
Oh, wow. That's a very good way to start a review off, isn't it? I had forgotten just how excellent these books are. In spite of the fact that I love I, Jedi and have read it repeatedly, I just haven't gotten around to re-reading Corran's original series since the first time in '99.The X-Wing series is one of the best ideas for a series anyone has ever had. It came out in 1996, with well over a dozen predecessors -- which meant that its early place in the timeline (the next step in the timeline
