In this essential Star Wars Legends novel, discover the legacy of
Rogue Squadron and its fabled pilots, who became a symbol of hope
throughout the galaxy.
They are sleek, swift, and deadly. They are the X-wing fighters. And as
the struggle rages across the vastness of space, the fearless men and
women who pilot them risk both their lives and their machines. Their
mission: to defend the Rebel Alliance against a still-powerful and
battle-hardened Imperial foe in a last-ditch effort to control the
stars!
Its very name strikes fear into enemy hearts. So when Rebel hero Wedge
Antilles rebuilds the legendary Rogue Squadron, he seeks out only the
best--the most skilled and most daring X-wing pilots. Through arduous
training and dangerous missions, he weeds out the weak from the strong,
assembling a group of hard-bitten warriors willing to fight, ready to
die. Antilles knows the grim truth: Even with the best X-wing jockeys in
the galaxy, many will not survive their near-suicidal missions. But when
Rogue Squadron is ordered to assist in the assault on the heavily
fortified Imperial stronghold of Blackmoon, even the bravest must wonder
if any at all will survive. . .
