Nachtfalke reviewed Star Wars: Mercy Kill by Aaron Allston (X-Wing Series)
Review of 'Star Wars: Mercy Kill' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The very necessary reunion novel; like "Adumar" and "Issard's Revenge", not much more than fan service - but of the good kind. "X-Wing" had a substantial fan base in the SW community, and the Del Rey books with their super-convoluted plots didn't manage to emulate the feeling of the earlier novels at all - at least not for me. This one, written when it must have been obvious that a reboot of SW was in the works already, is a nice reprise - and a farewell, because it's the kind of novel that we're probably not going to see again.
