Solo Command by Aaron Allston
4.0

And the fun continues with Wraith Squadron. This book has some more "main" characters in it - like Han Solo! - but is still focused on the Wraiths for the most part. Lara and Myn get lots of screen-time in this one and I came to appreciate Wedge more as a leader than I ever have after a particular sequence with him dressing down one of his reports...but in a way that shows he genuinely cares for him as a person. I now remember why after reading these books the first time, I gained such a high appreciation for Wedge. Also - this book continues the Wraith tradition of pranks and moments of hilarity. Some classic ones here. Yub, yub, Commander. Only thing I'm annoyed about in this book is the fact that the Zsinj plotline of the past three books isn't wrapped up but...apparently is concluded in another Star Wars book ("Courtship of Princess Leia"), which isn't written by Allston and isn't a Wraith book so I don't really want to read it. I think I did read it way back in the day, but no interest in reading it again now. Just wish Allston had been able to wrap up Zsinj himself, as he does such a good job with these Wraith books. Ah well. Again, this book is fantastic and well worth the reread.
