  • Star Wars: X-Wing: Wraith Squadron Book Review | Wedge Antilles's Suicide Squad | Essential Legends
    Jun 22 2024

    Liam reviews Star Wars: X-Wing: Wraith Squadron by, Aaron Allston. Wraith Squadron was the fifth book in the Star Wars: X-Wing books series from the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and the first in the Wraith Squadron Trilogy. In this book, Rebel hero, Wedge Antilles, builds a new X-Wing fighter squadron called Wraith Squadron. Wraith Squadron is made up of a ragtag group of misfits and outcasts, hand-chosen by Wedge for their superior flying skills as well as their effective ground combat skills. This leads to a story featuring a cast of unlikely heroes, searching for a way to put aside their personal grievances with the Empire and work together as a team.
