Starfighters of Aduman - Star Wars, X-Wing 9 Book Summary and Study Guide

This book, by far, is the best of the X-wing series, and perhaps one of the best in the expanded Star Wars Universe. Aaron Allston expertly combines many elements--including romance, action, mystery, and even humor--into one exciting page-turner featuring General Wedge Antilles and his hand-picked Red Flight (Tycho Celchu, Wes Janson, and Hobbie Klivian) on a mission to the planet Adumar. This book is different than the other X-wing books in some ways; for example, Wedge must try to learn diplomacy and politics in time to claim Adumar for the New Republic--and make sure they are prepared for the Empire's retaliation!

I would strongly recommend this book to any Star Wars fan who is not afraid to try something new, and if you haven't read the rest of the series, check that out too!

The review of this Book prepared by Ben Brown




General Wedge Antilles is sent on a diplomatic mission to the world of Adumar, which inhabitants hold pilots in the highest esteem. There, he finds his mission imperiled almost from the start, and events lead to a world-wide war. This is a wonderful and hilarious Star Wars book, extremely readable.
The review of this Book prepared by Mastadge




The New Republic discovers a new planet--Adumar--a planet that, if gained, could get the New Republic a priceless supply of proton torpedoes. A diplomatic envoy must be sent--but the Adumarians will accept only pilots, not politicians. So, Wedge Antilles, along with his Red Flight (Tycho Celchu, Wes Janson, and Hobbie Klivian), set off to play diplomat and get Adumar for the New Republic. But, as they soon discover, Adumar is not what they have been told--in fact, the supposed "world government" is in charge of only one country. Wedge must bring Adumar together and convince them to join the New Republic--and if he fails, the Imperials just might get the planet for themselves.
