The Bacta War: Star Wars Legends (Rogue Squadron)

By: Michael A. Stackpole

Narrated by: Marc Thompson

The fourth book in the epic adventure featuring the fearless pilots of Rogue Squadron.

After her attempt to strike at the heart of Coruscant with a deadly virus, the sinister Ysanne Isard sets her sights on destabilizing the New Republic by seizing its medicinal bacta production. Under the guise of a mere power struggle between corporations on the planet Thyferra, the imperial mastermind has taken control of one of the galaxy's most precious resources.

The heroes of Rogue Squadron are desperate to liberate the planet, and free prisoners trapped by Isard, only to find their plans foiled by the politics of the New Republic, which is set on assigning the squadron elsewhere. With timing and resources running short, Wedge Antilles, Corran Horn, and the other rogues have no choice but to resign from the New Republic.

The team must now go truly rogue to chip away at Isard's power, defeat her powerful complement of Star Destroyers, and free Thyferra from her iron rule. But when she discovers the Squadron's secret base, its pilots must scramble for survival in a winner-take-all battle against Isard's overwhelming and seemingly superior force.

Iceheart is finished... or is she?

I want a romance like Corran and Mirax have, minus the father in law.

Fun

I enjoy this series and Bacta War offers a great finale. I hope you enjoy it too.

enjoyable after all these years

these books are almost 30 years old, Star Wars came and went again after the sequels, but these are still entertaining and even with all the deux ex machina Stackpole uses, you get immersed in them, I only wished that the books ventured with the music to all of the other properties, even the ones that John Williams didn't write

Great characters

This is the fourth book in a series you should read as a Star Wars fan whether you started with the original movie in 77 or whether you joined on with the clone wars or the force awakens or anything before or after. It is labeled legends so if you find yourself completely obsessed with the Canon or continuity of a thing, it may not appeal, but you would also be doing a disservice to yourself to skip it. It’s a good story.

Bring on book 5

Another fantastic unabridged legends book. The finale of the original Mike Stackpole run still holds strength. A fantastic novel with great characters. I can’t wait for more X-Wing rereleases.
