I’ve been waiting twelve years for this series to return. It’s taking just about everything I have not to run around the office like an idiot.

YES YES YESSSSS! OMG! I’m so excited I’M GOING TO DIE! Wraith Squadron cracks me up like no other SW series…hooray for Silly Squadron! If I weren’t at work I’d literally be jumping up and down right now…

Yay! I have to do a series re-read next year. :D
One of the few books of the ’90s publishing era that I actually loved.

I too get excited hearing any news about this book.
Hopefully we’ll get a painted cover and the same logo used as the previous books.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!
Maybe it’s part of how often I’ve reread an X-Wing book here or there over the years, but I just can’t at all believe that it’s been that long.
Fourteen years between releases. Song of Ice and Fire fans don’t know what waiting really is!
