Review Summaries
"In the finale of this series, the New Republic's enemy warlord Zsinj reappears. The Wraith squadron joins Han Solo's combat task force to help defeat him. The team discovers the identity of the mole and the legendary fighter pilot Baron Fel also devastates their forces. Some of the x-wing pilots must come to terms with their issues before they can truly deal with the challenges of defeating the warlord. If they don't suceed Warlord Zsinj will win."
