Rating:  Summary: Check-six dogfights don't get any better than this! Review: X-wing-class starfighters. Made famous by Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: A New Hope, the sleek and lethal fighters return in Michael A. Stackpole's thrilling book, Rogue Squadron. Featuring Wedge Antilles and Corran Horn as main characters, the book tells the story of the most feared and respected combat squadron in the galaxy. X-wing: Rogue Squadron is simply brilliant. I could not put the book down at all, and I kept wishing I had an X-wing. The dogfights and ACMs (Air Combat Manuveurs) are very detailed and never lose their thrill. The book is a tour de force on space combat and cannot be missed. In all, exciting action, likable characters and well written plot twists make this action-packed novel a must-buy for any fan of the incredible air battles of the Star Wars Trilogy, Independence Day and/or Top Gun. Lock s-foils into attack position 'cuz your in for the ride of your life.Knight Blade 79
Rating:  Summary: Great fun for all Rebel pilots.... Review: Man, I was blown away by all of the seven X-wing books. They were all great, but Stackpole did a much better job with the stories. Allston added a bit more humor, but I like Stackpole's way of describing the battlefields and and fighters. It was all great fun though. I definitely suggest you buy all seven of these books, and any SW book you can get your hands on, except for those pathetic Young Jedi books. Anyway, if anyone who reads this has any questions about SW, e-mail me. I love trying to answer those questions. May the Force be with you.
Rating:  Summary: Stackpole is doin' it again Review: Stackpole masterfully unfolds a story that will get even the least of Star Wars fans hooked from the start. The story mixes action and emotions together to make a teeeeerrrrriiffiicc book!
Rating:  Summary: Stackpole's a Genius!! Review: I am currently reading Solo Command, book #7 of the X Wing series. Michael Stackpole's a genius, I luv book 1 to 4, but sad to say his only mistake was handing the writing duties over to Aaron Allston. I'm not saying Aaron can't write, but after book 5(Wraith Squadron) and 6(Iron Fist), I feel so lazy to read book 7(Solo Command). The story isn't even near the excitement book 1 to 4 delivers. There's no climax to the ending, and Aaron drags the storyline so long that a simple commando mission will take over 30 pages to finish. What a bore. I'm only reading book 7 because Michael will be the author of book 8 and according to him it's already finished. I can't wait! Finally some proper english, and some genius in the x wing storyline.
Rating:  Summary: Action-packed Review: This book is crammed full of space dogfights, which is the first thing people think of when they think of Star Wars. Corran Horn is an awsome character,Michal Stackpole is a vivid writer.
Rating:  Summary: Super !!! Review: I was hooked from the first page. I am thinking about buying all the other X-wing books.
Rating:  Summary: An awesome book no Star Wars fan will want to miss! Review: This is a great spellbinding book that anyone, even non Star Wars fans will enjoy. It writes out dogfights s[ectacularly!
Rating:  Summary: Very well written Star Wars novel. Must read for any fan. Review: The discriptions are supurb and the character developement is also very in-depth.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book Review: This book was very good, with a ton of battles. There were a few boring chapters with Kirtan Loor, but still it was a good book.
Rating:  Summary: Best Star Wars book ever! Review: If your even a S.W. fan to the smallest degree, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK. But be forwarned, if you read this book, you will become a HUGE Wegde Antillies fan. Stackpole is by far the greatest SW author ever. He is very descriptive though the whole book, but more so during the dogfight scenes in the X-wings. You can fly an X-wing without any previous training. Great Book!!!
