It was the X-wing series that got me started in Star Wars literature, so I hope this gets some other involved. Me + this book x memories of reading the others = excited!! _________________ "Changes are nice--but so is continuity!" "Then you saved my life. How disgusting. How unfortunate."

Even though I don't have a lot of money, I'd spend it on this. Did you go to Comic Con, Nanci? What more can you tell us about X-Wing: Mercy Kill? _________________ Observation: Life would be cooler if everyone spoke like HK-47. Communications Coordinator at EUCantina.

Alright, I should probably post something a bit more than just some emoticons...of the Wraiths, Face is the character that I remember best of all. Him and Piggy. Hearing that Face will be in the book is good news because we'll have at least one old Wraith in the bunch. If we get Piggy too, then I'll be thoroughly satisfied. _________________

Darth Skuldren Moderator Joined: 04 Feb 2008 Posts: 5760 Location: Missouri New cover! And blurb! Quote: Founded decades ago, Wraith Squadron was 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 that were once outcasts and misfits, spies and warriors, pilots and troublemakers given one last chance. After thrilling adventures during and after the Rebellion that destroyed the Empire, this elite intelligence unit was disbanded at the end of a catastrophic galactic civil war. Now, reunited by former leader Garik “Face” Loran, Wraith Squadron must find out whether one of the galaxy’s most powerful military officers is a traitor… and whether anyone can stop him if he is. To succeed in their mission, the Wraiths must become thieves, pirates, imposters, forgers, and liars, staying just one step ahead of their enemies and the law! _________________

Darth Skuldren Moderator Joined: 04 Feb 2008 Posts: 5760 Location: Missouri How would you even know if it was an XJ? Don't they all look alike visually? One thing I'm wondering is whether the E-wings on the cover are piloted by the Wraiths. That one has a camo pattern and as far as I know, the E-wings are a bit dated now. It would seem fitting that they'd fly outdated craft. Course it could be the bad guys too. _________________

GrandMaster Knight Joined: 26 Aug 2011 Posts: 263 Location: Earth Jedi Temple Great cover. I wish it was stylistically more like the other X-Wing novels (like the font), but still a great cover. _________________ "But it was so artistically done." “No. I am Ganner. This threshold is mine. I claim it for my own. Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don’t give a damn. None shall pass.” “Eventually, we all betray something, Tahiri. It’s what you stay true to that counts.” "Shaken, not stirred, will get you cold water with a dash of gin and dry vermouth. The reason you stir it with a special spoon is so not to chip the ice. James is ordering a weak martini and being snooty about it."
