this has got to be one of the best star wars: x-wing books ever written. it is fast moving easy to read and enjoyable. for any star wars fan it is a must read. but you have to get the first book definitly to understand it completly. and gettin the next one and the one after that helps. even if you dont want to buy it go to your nearest library(yes the place with all the books that you never go to for fear of looking bad) and borow it.
