Review: Loved the original series of books especially wraith squadron, so was excited to read this newer story of them. All the old characters came together again in a new chapter of there lives along with new ones. The story was well paced and immersive linking past events and characters to the ever expanding tapestry that is Star Wars. Highly recommended

Review: I liked the X-Wing novels. This one is decent enough, but there are lots and lots of characters who I've never encountered before (I think some of them were introduced in the Yuuzhan Vong conflict). It's really hard to keep track of who's who. In earlier books, you are let in on the plans, but in this one, there are reasons for things happening either aren't revealed until later on. While it makes sense in-universe, it doesn't make it any easier to read. It seems like a significant chunk might have been edited out. It starts out with the premise "we'll check if this person is suspicious", but the team seem very much set on him being guilty without really having the team investigate. It just doesn't feel like it's as cohesive or fun as some of the others (my favourite being Iron Fist)
