A_Denial Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 I have recently acquired the entire X-Wing collection of books from my brother. I just finished reading the third book ' The Krytos Trap ', and it is in my opinion, so far, the best of the books. I believe it has everything that it needs to have in it. Not too much and not too little. It gives you the answer to all the questions rolling about in your head, when it is required, and all in all is a superbly written book. Never did I suspect the traitor of Rogue Squadron to be who it was. Michael A. Stackpole is, in my opinion a great author. He has taken a universe and expanded it to a greater level. Anyway, the whole point of this thread, is to find out what your favourite book of the X-Wing series is, and to perhaps get some information on what you feel about the novels. Thanks A_DENIAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Talliusc Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 ooooh, good job! *smacks denial on the back*. that series is incredible man! id say the best books in that series are eithe solo command or bacta war (7 and 4). i didnt much like 8 or 9 but oh well. all good reads at least once but BW and SC can be reread over and over and still kick arse.

Tie Guy Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Yeah, they are a really good series. I think i like The Bacta War the best, but The Krytos Teap was very good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katarn07 Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 The 3rd book is what made me quit reading the series... I don't know. I found it a drag. Didn't get to far. Of the ones I read, the second was great. My friend says of the original 4, the Bacta War is best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova_wolf Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 How lucky am I! Have just found a store that sells books 2nd hand, and has a whole load of the X-Wing series in for £3.50. PLUS - they are all in their half price sale! Wedge's Gamble and Another to be decided for £3.50... In actual fact, I think I will buy them all! (Wedges Gamble, Krytos, Rogue & Wraith) All ready own Solo Command... 5 down, 3 to go. Looks like I WILL soon own the whole series! I now own over 50 OT based books - thats nearly the full set! ROCK ON!!!! Umm.. this is not spam, merely a jump for joy at my finding so many X-Wing books so cheap! (Just don't tell the misses...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 wow.. i have a lot... but i dont think i have 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I've only got 32... but i stopped collecting the books A LONG TIME AGO... so if i kept on collecting I'd have millions by now... but I got better things to buy... such as anime DVD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie Guy Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Originally posted by Lynk Former but I got better things to buy... such as anime DVD's Oh yes, much more useful, and more educational too! Anyway, i've got around 65 or so, and i've read many of them more than once, including all the X-wings. I want to buy Remnant, but haven't seen it yet. BTW, Is Remnant out on paperback yet? Or is it hardback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbrothers Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I liked those books alot. The only thing I didn't like ... and I may not be in the majority here ... was the use of slang terms like "Imps", "Squints" and "Eyeballs". I know that is typical of pilot-speak and he was trying to incorporate that into Rogue-speak, but it just didn't sound very Star Wars-like. Does that make sense?
