Book Review By Michelle Richie
Star Wars X-Wing Iron Fist by Aaron Allston

In the sequel to Wraith Squadron, Wedge Antilles and his X-Wing fighter squadron continue to battle against Warlord Zsinj. There are some new additions to the team and everyone works together to come up with a workable idea to destroy Zsinj. They decide to pose as pirates seeking to join Zsinj's forces. They must pass some deadly tests to be accepted to his forces as well as avoiding their own patrols. The situation is complicated by disguises and a mole, who is working to sabotage them. All this leads up to a galactic battle where the team must prevail or be destroyed.
