Star Wars: X-Wing: Isard's Revenge

Book 8

De: Michael A. Stackpole

Narrado por: Anthony Heald

When Rogue Squadron faces their greatest test yet, their only chance of success lies in working with the sinister Ysanne Isard.

Sleek, swift and deadly, the famed X-Wing fighters have earned their reputation as the Rebel Alliance’s ultimate strike force the hard way—first in battle, the last line of defense. Now they must make a deal with the devil herself—an enemy whose ultimate goal is their total annihilation.

It’s the kind of mission only Wedge Antilles and the Rogue Squadron would dare to undertake. Against impossible odds they will stage a daring raid into an enemy stronghold—only to be rescued from certain destruction by an unexpected ally.

Ysanne Isard, the ruthless Imperial commander, has appeared on the scene seemingly from out of nowhere. Now she proposes a most unusual alliance, offering to help Wedge rescue his captured comrades from Imperial Warlord Admiral Krennel’s sadistic prison camp.

But her offer is not without a price. Wedge must lead Rogue Squadron in Isard’s deadly struggle against an enemy made in her own image. It’s an offer Wedge would love to refuse, for Isard is certain to betray them. But how can they leave their comrades at Krennel’s mercy? The answer is: they can’t—even if it means being caught between Krennel’s ruthlessness and Isard’s treachery.© and (P)1999 Lucasfilm Ltd. and TM.

Heald getting better

I actually enjoyed Heald's narration of this book. And the story was quite on point in this book!

Star Wars x wing

Was a good listen I wish Disney would reinstate cannon into their books and action series. The old authors are still better than Disney. You should make new audiobooks using cannon

perfect atmosphere

the reference to other works in the universe just makes it fit well into it's place in the universe

Great revenge story

Action throughout the story line with suspense in every chapter, character development in lines with of Star wars books driving interest

Hard to listen to voices w/out Marc Thompson’s voice

Abridged is always a huge let down - you know you’re missing a lot and scenes seem incomplete.

The story itself is okay. I imagine the unabridged version would be much better

It’s very, very hard to enjoy Anthony Herald after just hearing The Hand of Thrawn duology. Marc Thompson’s voicing of Wedge, Corran Horne, Mirax, Booster, Talin Card, etc. are so distinctive and don’t sound like Marc’s narrator voice at all.
