Mercy Kill: Star Wars Legends (Wraith Squadron)

By Aaron Allston
Mercy Kill: Star Wars Legends (Wraith Squadron) by Aaron Allston digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Wraith Squadron soars back into action, on a full-throttle mission to match wits and weapons with an Imperial General gone rogue.

Wraith Squadron: The elite X-wing unit of rogues and misfits who became legends of the Rebellion, specializing in carrying out the most dangerous and daring operations before breaking up and going their separate ways. Now, three decades later, their singular skills are back in demand for a tailor-made Wraith Squadron mission.

A powerful general in the Galactic Alliance Army, once renowned for his valor, is suspected of participating in a conspiracy that nearly succeeded in toppling the Alliance back into the merciless hands of the Empire. With orders to expose and apprehend the traitor—and license to do so by any and all means—the Wraiths will become thieves, pirates, impostors, forgers . . . and targets, as they put their guts, their guns, and their riskiest game plan to the test!

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“The final book in the X-Wing series, and it's a Wraith Squadron furball featuring a multi-generational cast and at least one cameo... As with Starfighters of Adumar I'd put this off, but I'm very glad I finally read it. A handful of nods to the earlier trilogies aside this novel actually tackles one of the plot threads begun in the Abeloth story arc and does so in a rather fun - and surprisingly emotional - manner.”
“Really enjoyed the book. I am a huge fan of the X-Wing series and Aaron Allston's books and it was great to see some of and to paraphrase Face "the band back together". I really enjoyed reading the viewpoint of Piggy and his reminisces about his time in the Wraiths and his leaving. The plot is great and the introduction of new characters and tying up a lose end from Fate of the Jedi is great. I can only hope the books continue”
