Stackpole returns as author of the eighth book in the X-Wing series, taking over again after three novels from Aaron Allston. Wedge Antilles has transferred back from Wraith to Rogue Squadron, and many of the characters from Stackpole's first four books reappear, including Ysanne Isard, the villain of Book 4, <I>The Bacta War</I>.<p> Now that Grand Admiral Thrawn is dead, the New Republic wants to go after the warlords and decides to make an example of Krennel, who murdered a whole family in his rise to power. But Krennel has an unexpected ally: the treacherous Isard, whom the Rogues thought they had killed, is now plotting their downfall. She uses New Republic prisoners, with whom Rogue pilot Corran Horn was held for a while, as bait. The plot twists and turns, sometimes confusingly, as Krennel, Isard, and the Rogues try to outguess one another.<p> As ever in the X-Wing books, there are plenty of space battles, with Wedge Antilles, now promoted to general, leading the way. Meanwhile, the aversion Imperials feel toward nonhumans and the tensions between the various species making up the New Republic provide a couple of subplots that make this a thoughtful, action-packed installment in the series. <I>--Liz Sourbut, Amazon.co.uk</I> 2696915 1999 Isard's Revenge (Star Wars X-Wing) total:578|5:6|4:11|3:9|2:0|1:1| 578 2153 742 3 4 1 false false Wed Sep 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 16:40:09 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 14:06:42 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Fri Aug 24 17:57:09 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 24 17:57:38 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu May 01 14:28:59 -0700 2008 Thu May 01 14:29:41 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Nov 29 11:30:41 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 11:30:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 22 16:52:43 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 16:52:43 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Nov 22 01:53:31 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 01:53:31 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Nov 21 10:36:52 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 10:36:52 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Nov 21 10:28:22 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 10:28:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 15:32:15 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 15:32:15 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Nov 17 17:39:13 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 17:39:13 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Nov 17 16:46:22 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 16:46:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 16 20:44:17 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 20:44:19 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 16 17:42:40 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 17:42:40 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 16 04:02:27 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 04:02:27 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Nov 15 20:00:09 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 20:00:09 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Nov 13 21:02:39 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 21:02:43 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Nov 12 20:58:05 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 20:58:05 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Nov 11 20:16:48 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 20:16:48 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Nov 08 20:22:28 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 20:22:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 05 09:57:20 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 09:57:20 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=773546
