Star Wars: The Bacta War


Star Wars: The Bacta War (X-Wing #4) (Legends, New Republic Era #6)

After the dramatic resignation of Rogue Squadron at the end of the third book, this story sees the Rogues literally going rogue and forming their own military. Seeing how they take the fight to Ysanne Isard and their former comrade is very fun. The final climax has a great space battle and provides a very satisfying conclusion to the Stackpole books in the X-Wing series (Aaron Allston will follow with his Wraith Squadron books). I especially liked how all the loose ends were tied up and the story also had some unexpected turns occur, keeping it fresh.

I'd recommend reading this story both for any Star Wars fan and for anyone who likes sci-fi in general. Fans of action and adventure should also enjoy this.
