Even beyond that, there was a particularly poor job done of reducing the work. I had not realized this was an abridged version when I bought the audiobook. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?ĭisappointment. Overall, I liked his delivery, and consider it the high point of this rendition. If there were moments where some characters sounded too similar, it can be forgiven with there being so many characters to deal with. I am not familiar with Thomas' other work. Have you listened to any of Henry Thomas’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Rather, the story presented for the audiobook was so hacked up that much of the good detail and character development was lost. I do not believe the issues here were Stackpole's as I enjoyed the original book itself.

Stackpole have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Would you try another book from Michael A. But when Rogue Squadron is ordered to assist in the assault of the heavily-fortified Imperial stronghold of Black Moon, even the bravest must wonder if any at all will survive.

So when Rebel hero Wedge Antilles rebuilds the legendary Rogue Squadron, he seeks out only the best, the most skilled, the most daring X-wing pilots. Its very name strikes fear in enemy hearts. Their mission: to defend the Rebel Alliance against a still powerful and battle-hardened Imperial foe in a last ditch effort to control the stars! And as the struggle rages across the vastness of space, the fearless men and women who pilot them risk both their lives and their machines. They are the X-wing fighters: sleek, swift, and deadly.
