About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

This is a great Star Wars series; lots of humor, plenty of action and enough serious tones that the plot flows well but doesn't become overly dark. The characters are a good mix between humans and other species, and between neuro-typical and neurodivergent; being nd myself I found many of the characters in the Squadron relatable in one way or another. On another note; many beings in the Squadron are working through childhood trauma, and there's a lot of heavy topics and triggers covered in the series. It'd probably be a series best for older teens or adults.

I have to pay for it come on noob I'm only 9 year old I don't even have a credit card to pay for it noob it's suck super question did all of you pay for this BOOK
