Synopsis: This is the 7th book in the X-Wing series. It takes place after "Iron Fist". In this one, Rogue Squadron and Wraith Squadron are both involved in the fight against Zsinj. Has Solo has offered to lead the fight.

Review: Warlord Zsinj's Super Star Destroyer, The Iron Fist, has somehow evaded destruction. To stop Zsinj, both Rogue and Wraith Squadrons are working together with Han Solo. Once again, the odds are terrible.

To add to their problems, there have been terrorist acts committed by Twi'leks on Coruscant. Assassination atempts have been made on Admiral Ackbar and Mon Mothma, two very important leaders for the Rebellion. Zsinj will use the Rebel's courage against them in a fight to the death. The Rebels must defeat Zsinj this time to continue their hold on the galaxy.

I gave this book a rating of 5 because it was exciting all the way through from beginning to end. There many space battles and ground missions that kept my interest up. This one also had some hilarious parts that I really enjoyed.
