Solo Command by Aaron Allston
3.0

4.5/5
A great conclusion to the Wraith Squadron Trilogy, although it suffers from the fact that it finishes unresolved
Spoiler as it needs to leave room for The Courtship of Princess Leia to finish the Zsinj arc
(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!
