Starfighters of Adumar (1999)
This week on According to Wedge, Ernest P. Worrell joins the diplomatic corps! Or Everybody Loves Jensen. Or The Fresh Prince of Adumar. I'm trying to say that Allston writes everything like it's the script for a cheesy 90s sitcom guest starring Jim Varney. And I mean, I like cheese. And I don't ...
Wraith Squadron (1998)
Aaron Allston does a terrific job of carrying on the series with these three Wraith Squadron books.

Stackpole is...
Wedge's Gamble (1996)
Shadowhawk reviews the second Star Wars X-wing novel featuring the infamous Rogue Squadron by the talented Michael Stackpole.“A promising novel in concept that regrettably suffers in the execution of that idea.” ~The Founding FieldsLike I mentioned earlier, the X-wing novels are some of my favour...
