About this audiobook

When the Alliance Fleet mounts a major campaign against a deadly warlord, tyrant Ysanne Isard has taken control of Thyferra, intending to use its supply of medicinal bacta to destabilize and destroy the New Republic. Undermanned, deprived of Alliance support, Rogue Squadron must oppose Isard's plans, defeat her Star Destroyer fleet, and free Thyferra from her rule in a winner-take-all battle against a seemingly superior force.

    Rogue Squadron has to resign from the New Republic in order to pursue Isard and end her schemes once and for all. A whole lot of space battles ensue!

    And with that, the Rogue series draws to a close, leaving me satisfied and feeling as though I could pilot my very own X-wing.

    Unfortunately, I didn't like this as much as the others. Which is a shame, because the story is quite cool. But the plot armor and Gary Stu-ness are too strong in this one to still be enjoyable. I kept hoping it would be countered with a massive fail, but I was disappointed.
    The final battle was really well done, but it, too, had problems with plot armor. None of the main characters died... in a super high-stakes battle? Come on!

    On top of that, the pacing is off. I suspect Stackpole was given a page limit and would have needed more for the story he wanted to tell. That would explain the POVs, of which there were too many, and their short chapters. We jump around constantly and I couldn't really get into any individual story.

    I still enjoyed this book. It's fun, a lot of things happen, the plot is good... I just didn't enjoy it as much as the others. And there were parts that read more like a male power fantasy, which was disappointing, because I know Stackpole can do better.
