They are the Rebel Alliance's ultimate strike force--sleek, swift, and deadly.  For these X-wing fighters, no job is too dirty or too dangerous.  Now they must rise to meet an impossible challenge: stop a powerful warlord by pretending to be his ally.

Against all odds, the controversial Wraith Squadron has survived its first covert mission.  But now they are called upon to cheat death twice.  This time Wedge Antilles sends them to stop the warlord Zsinj and his Super Star Destroyer,
Iron Fist.  If Zsinj joins the Empire, it could turn the tide of war against the Rebels.  The Wraith Squadron's mission: infiltrate the warlord's fleet and uncover his carefully guarded plans.  To do so, they must pose as ruthless pirates seeking to join Zsinj's forces.  And that means first becoming pirates in space lanes teeming with Imperial Navy patrols.  If that isn't enough to get them killed, they'll have to pass one last test--a suicide mission for Zsinj.

Can they survive the test and turn the tables on Zsinj?

Or is this the end for Wraith Squadron?

Listening to books in the X-Wing series is a lot like listening to the classic radio dramas that are Star Wars' wellspring. Words, music, and sounds create a vibrant world in the mind's eye, full of action and suspense. Tony Award nominee Anthony Heald (Anything Goes and Love! Valor! Compassion! ), fashions many easily differentiated voices, human and alien--yet always with restraint, never caricature. He brings a great deal of enthusiasm to the second book in the series to feature Wraith Squadron, a collection of misfits and losers who are meant to take on the missions that no normal X-Wing squad can handle. In X-Wing Iron Fist, the Wraiths are assigned to help bring down the corrupt Lord Zsinj and his Super Star Destroyer, Iron Fist. To do so, the Wraiths must pose as pirates and try to join Zsing. For the Wraiths, though, being outlaws comes easily. This is a rousing tale that combines with the equally rousing John Williams score to create fine space opera that will be enjoyed by all ages. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --Brooks Peck

Aaron continues the great work started by Stackpole with enticing characters, dynamic descriptions of ground and space battle, and a quality integration of new characters alongside established ones. In Iron Fist, there is a little more content to elicit an emotional response, yet not at the expense of plot movement. Lessons learned tended to have an immediate and dramatic cost which I enjoyed. I read the paper backs through high school and now, am enjoying the e-books in my thirties.

Are you aware that there was once a species of aquatic sloths? They swam around and pooped while lazing their days away. Fascinating!

Great story. Read it as a child. Came back 20 years later. I now have a deeper appreciation for several of the more touching moments while the action was just as nail biting and fun!!

This was purchased as a gift. Must be a good book because my husband keeps putting the next book on his wishlist. I'm guessing if it was terrible, he'd find another series to read. He's on to book 9 now.

This is an excellent book, the first time to the millionth. Wraith squadron proves their worth over and over again. Yub yub, Commander!

Not as good as the first Wraith Squadron book, but still worth reading.
