Product Description

From AudioFile

[Editor's note: The following is a combined review with STAR WARS: HARD MERCHANDISE.] -- Anthony Heald is a superb performer for the various Star Wars audiobooks. He slides in and out of distinctive Star Wars characters with such smoothness that the characters are instantly recognizable, as if the original actors were working in ensemble. In HARD MERCHANDISE, the classic antihero, bounty hunter Boba Fett, outsmarts everyone and penetrates the evil designs of a master trickster. In STARFIGHTERS OF ADUMAR, pilot General Wedge Antilles must cope with a sleazy alien government trying to choose sides in the Alliance/Empire wars. High-action, Star Wars special effects, and grandiose music prevail.

Product Description

Book 9 in the exciting series!

The X-wing fighter pilots have earned their reputation as the Rebel Alliance's ultimate strike force by overwhelming enemies with their rapid-fire assaults. But now they are about to embark on a diplomatic mission that will prove to be even more hazardous than all-out combat....

The neutral world of Adumar has decided to pick a side in the war to control the galaxy. Delegates from both the New Republic and the Empire have been invited to Adumar, and each camp will be given a chance to plead its government's case. But there is one small catch: since the Adumari prize military skill above all else, they insist that both delegations be composed exclusively of fighter pilots. For pilot Wedge Antilles and his company, it's an unfamiliar exercise in diplomacy--and one that's filled with unexpected peril. For once they arrive, the X-wing pilots are challenged by Adumar's fierce warriors and attacked by Imperial assassins bent on eliminating all competition. But these challenges pale in comparison to the threat posed by a rogue Republic agent...one who is determined to win Adumar's allegiance once and for all--even if it costs the X-wing pilots their lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent end to the X-wing series, Jun 20 2004
By Andrew Viloria "drew914" (Fremont, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Where as the previous X-Wing books had a whole squadron to talk about (Rouge and Wraith), this one got a little bit more intimate in that only four of the pilots are featured (Wedge, Tycho, Janson, and Hobbie). This provides for a more "intimate" character development, especially with Wedge, and his relationships with Qwi and eventually Iella. Wedge is known as the everyman in the Sw universe, but he is human, and we get to see that in this book. The backdrop is interesting, with the Adumarian culture who value fighter pilots above all else, an interesting analogy for the X-Wing series. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Conclusion to the X-Wing Series A+ book, Mar 1 2004
By J. K. Moser "JKM" (Flemington, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Starfighters of Adumar marks the final book in the X-Wing series. Written by Aaron Allston, Starfighters of Adumar focuses on a mission undertaken by General Wedge Antilles, Colonel Tycho Celchu, Major Wes Jansen & Major Hobbie Klivian to the planet of Adumar, a place that venerates starfighter pilots. Once there the pilots find that not only are things different from what they were told but the Imperials are also vying for the planet. To top it off, their only way to stay alive depends on the undercover Intelligence agent Iella Wessiri who is not exactly feeling happy with Antilles these days. A fun book, Allston fills the pages with a well-contrived plot, sharp dialogue, heart pounding action and a strong dose of humor. This is one of the finest books in the X-Wing series and leaves the reader wishing that Allston and Stackpole would both return to the X-wing cockpit to expand on the adventures of these elite fighter pilots.

4.0 out of 5 stars Series bows out with wit, action, and affection., Jan 9 2004
By Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Aaron Allston closes out the X-Wing Series with this stand alone novel that has Wedge Antilles and his team of sarcastic wingmen off to play diplomat. The plan is to encourage the neutral world of Adumar to join the New Republic. What they discover is that Adumar is only one or two civilized steps above utter barbarism, with starfighters routinely killing each other in needless honor duels. Making matters worse is the arrival of Imperial delegates wishing to woo Adumar over to the Empire and a New Republic diplomat that believes that any means are justified by the end (i.e. getting Adumar into the New Republic). I'm not the most well read Star Wars fan, so some of the plot lines mentioned early on left me going, huh? But when the novel gets cooking it becomes a tasty adventure with all the epic battles one has come to expect from this galaxy far, far away.
