Synopsis:
They are the galaxy's most elite fighting force. And as
the battle against the Empire rages, the X-wing fighters
risk life and machine to protect the Rebel Alliance. Now
they must go on a daring undercover mission - as the
crew of an Imperial warship.
It is Wedge Antille's boldest creation : a covert-action
unit of X-wing fighters, its pilots drawn from the dregs
of other units, castoffs and rejects given one last
chance. But before the new pilots can complete their
training, the squadron's base is attacked by former
Imperial Admiral Trigit, and Wraith Squadron is forced
to swing into action - taking over an Imperial warship
and impersonating its crew. The mission : to gain vital
intelligence about Trigit's secret weapons, to sabotage
the admiral's plans, and to lure him into an Alliance
trap. But the high-stakes gamble pits Wraith Squadron's
ragtag renegades against the Empire's most brilliant
master of guile and deception. Are they up to the
challenge? If not, the penalty is instant death. |
