Summary
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.

Excellent performance again
I do enjoy these older books having proper audiobooks done. Hopefully they carry on as they are so much better than the new ‘Disney’ books. Marc Thompson is outstanding as always

Decent characters, at long last!
The finest book in the series, Kel Tainer is far more nuanced than Korran Horn, and has actual character growth. The same can be said for the rest of the cast, and their outrageous plans.
It is the first X-Wing book that actually was properly good, and the scenes were something out of an old video game. Very charming.

Superb Star Wars Action
Wraith Squadron is a welcome return to form for Legends starfighter novels. Stackpole’s X-Wing series pivoted away from its original concept towards more focus on its lead, Corran Horn. For those readers who miss the pilot-led action, Wraith Squadron swoops in to fill the void. Allston’s Star Wars shows deeply flawed and insecure characters, rising above their personal faults and prey to them. It is action-packed, suspenseful, but all with a welcome dose of humour. Despite the grit. Wraith Squadron manages to be quite funny.
Marc Thompson’s delivery is excellent as always and the SFX and music mixing team are on form again.
Heartily recommended!

Loved it as a teen loved it again as an adult!
Love the fact they are bringing the un abridged copies to audible, always loved diving into the expanded universe. Recently had two long road trips with my step son, I think I might have him hooked too. We both can’t wait for the next in the series 👍🏻

i forget how good these old x wing books are read these in the 90s and early 2000s love
these books hold their own still over 25 years later.
your man who narrates is the best one on the books, i don’t know if he’s a fan of star wars but he’s done enough of them over the years it feels like he gets it and understands the characters.

The follow up I didn't think we'd get
After the first four books audible had gone silent about one of my favourite EU book trilogies but after a long wait the wraiths are here. The dark humour and different personalities of the misfit fighter squadron and there long suffering commander are a treat to revisit as the fight against the empire continues. They have a lot of ships to steal.
Yub Yub!

My childhood, now in unabridged HD
Simply brilliant. I am so happy to see this series recorded and updated. This is pure, proper, total Star Wars.
