Solo Command: Star Wars Legends (Wraith Squadron)

Star Wars: Wraith Squadron–Legends, Book 3

De: Aaron Allston

Narrado por: Marc Thompson

The Rebel Alliance’s elite strike force must join together with Han Solo to take down their old foe, the warlord Zsinj.

Wraith Squadron: they are the Rebel Alliance’s ultimate strike force. Sleek, swift, and deadly, they are the first in battle, the last line of defense. Now they must find and destroy a wily enemy more powerful than the Empire itself.

Their covert mission has been a success. The enemy has been vanquished. Or so they thought. The Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist somehow escaped destruction and with it the New Republic’s greatest threat, the infamous warlord Zsinj. To defeat him, Wraith Squadron must join a combat task force led by the only man crafty enough to beat Zsinj at his own game: Han Solo.

But Zsinj knows the X-wing fighters’ indomitable courage is both their greatest strength–and their greatest weakness. For even against the most overwhelming odds, the Rebels will fight to the death. And that will leave Zsinj the galaxy’s unchallenged master!

Solo Command

Book 3 of the Wraith Squadron series steps the game up once again. We go deep into Piggy’s background/ creation. I cannot recommend this trilogy enough! Marc Thompson and Aaron Allston are a perfection.

Awesome

everything was good and exciting great story I enjoyed everything about this book great story

A great book with many twists and turns

Another incredible entry into the wraith and rogue series. Han and the warlord have many similarities that are fleshed out in this book

The Wraith Squadron novels get better.

While I am a fan of Star Wars novels that focus on the Jedi, love the Wraith Squadron trilogy that focuses on the military aspect. Marc Thompson delivers another peak performance. No wonder he's my favorite narrator regarding Star Wars novels.

Another Excellent Star wars Legends Title

I'm delighted that these books are being produced in audio, and this one makes another great addition to the offerings already on the market. It is unabridged, which I fully appreciate; I don't feel that these books are anything like the same in the abridged additions.

The choice of Mark Thompson as the narrator for this novel was a great one. I feel that he's performed at his best on all of these. He reads with plenty of expression, uses an impressive variety of different voices, and is clearly enjoying himself, which leads me to enjoy myself.

While unadorned versions of these would have been perfectly acceptable, the sound effects and Star Wars music enhance the book. As in the previous six of this series produced, you will hear everything from commlink sounds to weapons firing at the appropriate points, and it brings authenticity to the atmosphere.

The plot itself is excellent: You will see a lot of good depth of character, a mix of action-filled and contemplative scenes, and a whole collage of emotions ranging from great sadness to absolute hilarity. It would have interested me to grasp why Han Solo hated Zsinj on such a visceral level, which is the only thing I felt the plot was missing. I appreciate the way a very comic subplot culminated in this book, having taken root in the fifth book of the series. The descriptions of places, battles, and actions are vivid, Aaron Alston makes use of various plot devices with good results, and overall, this was one of my favorite books in this series.

Overall, I recommend this book and hope to see the remaining two produced.

Awesome!

Action from beginning to end. Best squadron book so far. Can’t wait for the next one!!!!

A Blend of everything you’d want from this series

A superb conclusion (kind of) to this main part of the X-Wing series. From Ketch to Jansen, the humor is stellar. From the Fel narrative to Notsil and Tonin’s arc, it is overflowing with rich story and thrilling moments.

Not sure

The fact that wedge doesn’t find out about the real lieutenant catch and that’s it

My favorite series!

X-wing is by far the best Star Wars series around, and the wraiths imo are the best part of it!

another great book in the series

a great story with Rogue Squadron and wedge Antilles a must we're all enthusiasts two thumbs up excellent story
