Wraith Squadron: Star Wars Legends (Wraith Squadron)

Star Wars Legends (X-Wing)

De: Aaron Allston

Narrado por: Marc Thompson

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.

Prepare for something unique, hilarious, captivating, and one of the best cast and voice talents in the business

This is by far my favorite "Legends" story, and I've read over 50, including the previous entries in the Rogue Squadron /X Wing series. The author is considered one of the best of the series, and the audiobook performances feel like a full ensemble cast, and manage to be exactly how I imagined them when reading this all those years ago. I can die happy now knowing this finally has a full audiobook rendition, and it's so well done I could re-listen to it again immediately. Don't miss out on this rollercoaster!

loving the unabridged star wars legends.

never understood why they abridged such great titles. I am very glad they started re releasing these unabridged versions!

Great story.

Mark goes a great job bringing to life these classic Star Wars stories, giving voices to characters and providing the correct amount of energy.

Excellence as always

Marc Thompson as always smashes it out of the park with his performance. The story is the beginning of another excellent series based on another group of misfits like the rogue squadron. Anyone who enjoys GOOD, CLASSIC, star story telling should pick this up.

A Special Ops Unit Is Born.

The late author is in top form here, focusing on the military aspect, character development, and more. Narrator Marc Thompson is also in excellent form, with different voices and accents for species, and more. Will wait for more of Star Wars Legends to get the audio recording treatment.

Another fantastic performance of the best series ever

I dislike that the rest of the series still isn't out yet! Let's go! :D

Nice surprise

other than issues with audibles download quality I have no complaints the book is good and isn't a typical rogue squadron story whichbwas nice to get a change in characters.

The writing was good than, it is good now as well 😁

The quality always good 👍😁 but the pronunciation of names... I like the old versions more!

Bringing a classic to life!

Just… wow. Mark Thompson and Penguin House knock it out of the park again by bringing the classic X-Wing novels back into the spotlight and giving them the love and care they deserve. Can’t wait to see the rest of Wraith Squadrons journey in this fashion!

Worth the Wait

Wraith squadron does a great job not trying to copy the success of the first 4 books. instead it creates a new case of characters that succeed 8nt heir own right. These characters are more relatable and "realistic" than the Rogues (who I still love!).
