4.5/5
A great conclusion to the Wraith Squadron Trilogy, although it suffers from the fact that it finishes unresolved (hence why I removed half a star).
Overall though the characters are strong and likeable (Wes and Wedge are the best of course) although Lara Notsil and Myn Donos could get a little melodramatic at times.
The action in the book is also excellent with exciting X-Wing and Tie fighter action and on the ground missions infiltrating bases.
The jokes also return from the other Wraith Squadron books (Lieutenant Kettch in particular) so if you didn't enjoy that aspect of the previous books then you won't like it in this one either.
Overall I'd definitely recommend it to fans of the other Wraith Squadron books and to those who haven't read the previous X-Wing books, get reading, you might just like them!

as it needs to leave room for The Courtship of Princess Leia to finish the Zsinj arcOverall though the characters are strong and likeable (Wes and Wedge are the best of course) although Lara Notsil and Myn Donos could get a little melodramatic at times.

The "real" conclusion to the X-Wing novel series, everything that comes later is just footnotes. Or, rather - what Star Wars lacked after the focus on the Skywalker-Jedi-plotline was a depiction of the war and the life outside of the progress of the core characters. The "X-Wing" series got that done for the galaxy far, far away, but once it had it accomplished, the series gradually lost its raison d'etre; a right conclusion at the right time.

Solo Command is a curious book. It continues the trend of having more stakes than the previous Rogue Squadron books and Warlord Zsinj continues to be a credible and competent foil though I personally am getting tired of the Warlord as a villain.
