Wraith Squadron: Star Wars Legends (Wraith Squadron)
ByPublisher Description
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.

“Audiobook 🎧
After going through Rogue Squadron and remembering liking Wraith Squadron better, I said "screw it" and went right to this entry. I'm not disappointed. Allston writes better characters, better dialogue, isn't afraid to kill folks, and opted to focus this squadron more on the commando part than the starfighters part. That last choice means that the X-Wing dogfights don't get old and are interspersed with some Hogan's Heroes or Dirty Dozen style plots and missions.
The Wraiths, which are a fairly diverse bunch of both humans and nonhumans, change and grow and there's even some humor and real life topics explored in the story. I think that the only downside is that since the cast is around 12 to 15 strong, it's a little hard to give everyone the attention they deserve. Allston does his best but it's tough, and some characters are left out a bit. But, rather than counting down the hours and pages until the next book, I found myself enjoying this one. I'll be enjoying the next one too.”
