Summary
They are the X-wing fighters: sleek, swift, and deadly. 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 in enemy hearts. So when Rebel hero Wedge Antilles rebuilds the legendary Rogue Squadron, he seeks out only the best, the most skilled, the 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 and ready to die.
Antilles knows the grim truth: that 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 of the heavily-fortified Imperial stronghold of Black Moon, even the bravest must wonder if any at all will survive.

Childhood favourite
I absolutely loved this audiobook when I had it on cassette back in the 90’s and I have loved re-listening to it again now. The voice actor I think gave a suitable and engaging performance despite what some other reviewers have written - albeit I have some nostalgia goggles on too.
A great way to enjoy one of the best legends stories for anyone curious about ‘real’ Star Wars before Disney put the mouse ears on it.
Very enjoyable and I will be treating myself to the rest of the series soon!

The VERY Abridged Version
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.

Love the book - even 16 years after reading it!
I love the X-Wing series - games, comics and books - Stackpole and Holland really do make the EU come alive for the Rogues and other pilots!

Remove the sound FX!
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.

star wars x wing series
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.

Narrator not engaging at all
I am a life long Star Wars fan, however never ventured into the expanded universe as much. Yes, condemn me haha. I remember seeing the original trilogy at the cinema when they first came out. Anyhow everyone says this series is great to read. I am going to buy the written version as I have been totally put off by the narrator. As someone said, he sounds bored throughout and really does little to engage a listener.

sound effects ruin it
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!

Hard to hear
The narrator’s performance is extremely flat. There is little effort make to distinguish characters and the music ends up drowning out the narration when it starts
