About this ebook
They are the Rebel Alliance's ultimate strike force--sleek, swift, and deadly. For these X-wing fighters, no job is too dirty or too dangerous. Now they must rise to meet an impossible challenge: stop a powerful warlord by pretending to be his ally.
Against all odds, the controversial Wraith Squadron has survived its first covert mission. But now they are called upon to cheat death twice. This time Wedge Antilles sends them in to stop the warlord Zsinj and his Super Star Destroyer, Iron Fist. If Zsinj joins the Empire, it could turn the tide of war against the Rebels. The Wraith Squadron's mission: infiltrate the warlord's fleet and uncover his carefully guarded plans. To do so, they must pose as ruthless pirates seeking to join Zsinj's forces. And that means first becoming pirates in space lanes teeming with Imperial Navy patrols. If that isn't enough to get them killed, they'll have to pass one last test--a suicide mission for Zsinj.
Can they survive the test and turn the tables on Zsinj?
Or is this the end for Wraith Squadron?
Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

Re-reading this series from my childhood. It's sci-fi pulp fiction. Don't expect too much, just read for the characters and whiz-bang fight scenes. But rating this ebook low because it only has one page of chapter 16, then immediately continues to chapter 17. I can tolerate the autocorrect issues from the obvious OCR work the series has gone through, but I paid for a whole book and I expect to read it...

I struggled completing all oh his books for the series. He contradicts him self constantly and not with minor things. In one book he wrote how one type of ship was better then another just because the "hero's"used it. In the next book he went the other way. I have read most of the authors. Router stories all have a flow. Not this guy. The basic plot had merit, but this guy killed them.
