**Led by Wedge Antilles, the legendary pilots of Rogue Squadron prepare
to risk everything in their battle against the Empire.
**
Sleek, swift, and deadly, they are the X-wing fighters. And as the
battle against the Empire rages across the vastness of space, the pilots
risk both their lives and their machines for the cause of the Rebel
Alliance. Now they must embark on a dangerous espionage mission, braving
betrayal and death on the Imperial homeworld to smash the power of a
ruthless foe!
It is the evil heart of a battered and reeling Empire: Coruscant, the
giant city-world from whose massive towers the Imperial High Command
directs the war. The Rebels will invade this mighty citadel in a daring
move to bring the Empire to its knees. But first Wedge Antilles and his
X-wing pilots must infiltrate Coruscant to gain vital intelligence
information. Capture means death, or worse--trapped in the clutches of
the vicious leader known as "Iceheart," Ysanne Isard, now Emperor in all
but name.
And one of Rogue Squadron's own is already her slave, a traitor hidden
behind a mask of innocence, working to betray both colleagues and the
Rebellion itself.
