About this listen

 In this essential Star Wars Legends novel, discover the legacy of Rogue Squadron and its fabled pilots, who became a symbol of hope throughout the galaxy.

They are sleek, swift, and deadly. They are the X-wing fighters. And as the struggle rages across the vastness of space, the fearless men and women who pilot them risk both their lives and their machines. Their mission: to defend the Rebel Alliance against a still-powerful and battle-hardened Imperial foe in a last-ditch effort to control the stars!

Its very name strikes fear into enemy hearts. So when Rebel hero Wedge Antilles rebuilds the legendary Rogue Squadron, he seeks out only the best—the most skilled and most daring X-wing pilots. Through arduous training and dangerous missions, he weeds out the weak from the strong, assembling a group of hard-bitten warriors willing to fight, ready to die. Antilles knows the grim truth: Even with the best X-wing jockeys in the galaxy, many will not survive their near-suicidal missions. But when Rogue Squadron is ordered to assist in the assault on the heavily fortified Imperial stronghold of Blackmoon, even the bravest must wonder if any at all will survive. . .© and (P)1996 Lucasfilm Ltd. and TM.

I was really shocked to hear this one full of sound FX which in some places stop you hearing the voice.

I can't recommend this book until those are removed.

Remove the sound FX!

This is a beautifully written book and abridged really well. The emperor may have fallen but the Empire still goes on. We join wedge(Luke Skywalkers friend) and the new Rouge squadron in the first of nine action packed books. The empire has shattered into a giant power play but a struggling rebel alliance cannot take advantage. A lack of space fleet and indifference from alliance allies proves frustrating for our rouge Hero's.We meet many complex new characters and also see into the early life of many soon to be Jedi.

whilst I did enjoy the book, the sound effects are way too loud and drown out the narrator! another gripe is the pronunciation of some of the words (Coruscant!)

the story is good, but not a great production overall!

sound effects ruin it

Cuts a hell of a lot out of the original story. Might be able to get on board if it was read by someone like Marc Thompson. This guy is painful to listen to though.
