Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Listening to books in the X-Wing series is a lot like listening to the classic radio dramas that are Star Wars' wellspring. Words, music, and sounds create a vibrant world in the mind's eye, full of action and suspense. Tony Award nominee Anthony Heald (Anything Goes and Love! Valor! Compassion! ), fashions many easily differentiated voices, human and alien--yet always with restraint, never caricature. He brings a great deal of enthusiasm to the second book in the series to feature Wraith Squadron, a collection of misfits and losers who are meant to take on the missions that no normal X-Wing squad can handle. In X-Wing Iron Fist, the Wraiths are assigned to help bring down the corrupt Lord Zsinj and his Super Star Destroyer, Iron Fist. To do so, the Wraiths must pose as pirates and try to join Zsing. For the Wraiths, though, being outlaws comes easily. This is a rousing tale that combines with the equally rousing John Williams score to create fine space opera that will be enjoyed by all ages. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --Brooks Peck --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

They are the Rebel Alliance's ultimate strike force--sleek, swift, and deadly. For these X-wing fighters, no job is too dirty or too dangerous. Now they must rise to meet an impossible challenge: stop a powerful warlord by pretending to be his ally.

Against all odds, the controversial Wraith Squadron has survived its first covert mission. But now they are called upon to cheat death twice. This time Wedge Antilles sends them in to stop the warlord Zsinj and his Super Star Destroyer, Iron Fist. If Zsinj joins the Empire, it could turn the tide of war against the Rebels. The Wraith Squadron's mission: infiltrate the warlord's fleet and uncover his carefully guarded plans. To do so, they must pose as ruthless pirates seeking to join Zsinj's forces. And that means first becoming pirates in space lanes teeming with Imperial Navy patrols. If that isn't enough to get them killed, they'll have to pass one last test--a suicide mission for Zsinj.

Can they survive the test and turn the tables on Zsinj?

Or is this the end for Wraith Squadron?

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent continuation of the X-Wing series!, Feb 25 2004
By J. K. Moser "JKM" (Flemington, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Iron Fist continues the adventures of the controversial X-Wing unity Wraith Squadron. After masquerading as Imperials in the last book, the squadron now is disguised as pirates in attempt to bring down Warlord Zinj. Allston is clearly more comfortable with his characters and they are indeed in rare form. Yet although these are clearly well-written characters, Allston does not hesitate to kill or injure them. He also includes a brand new person into the Wraith mix. Gara Petothal was an Imperial Intelligence officer in the previous X-Wing book. Now disguised as a victim of Imperial exploitation and under the identity of Lara Notsil, she has joined Wraith Squadron, confused as to where her loyalties lie: with her squad mates who trust her or with the Imperials who trained her. Wedge Antilles continues to develop into a stronger character, but what is most impressive is Allston's portrayal of Han Solo. Rather than Solo the rogue and smuggler or even family man from previous books, Allston presents General Solo. Here he is a soldier and tactician, a commander, not just a man with a blaster about to kill the enemies personally. Allston also does a great job with his villains. Both Zinj and Melvar come to life in an interesting way. Unlike other Imperial soldiers, Zinj is not a great tactician like Thrawn, nor is he a force-wielder like Vader and the Emperor, nor is he insane like Isard. Instead he is a soldier who understands the importance of manipulation and subterfuge as well as knowing when to fight and when to retreat. Overall, Iron Fist is an entertaining and well-written Star Wars book. It goes above and beyond the call of duty.

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid and, more importantly, mature series entry., Oct 12 2003
By Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Iron First is to Wraith Squadron what The Empire Strikes Back was to Star Wars: A New Hope, a solid and mature sequel that expands the story and its characters into challenging and emotionally satisfying directions.

The Wraiths, having pulled off several near brilliant (or very lucky) string of attacks against the Warlord Zsinj, now must come up with a new plan and what a plan it is. The group poses as pirates in the hopes that they will grab the Warlord's attention and form a partnership. But that is not all, there is a little payback for a crooked New Republic officer that needs to be dealt out as well and the person the group inlists to help is not who she pretends to be. Undoubtedly fans will want this on their shelves. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Read, Jun 3 2003
By Matt (Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews
I recall this book being very enjoyable as it continues on the x-wing series in an exciting way, which is rather typical of the series. New conflicts arise amonst imperial warlords and the x-wingers are called into action. x-wing fans will enjoy this book.
