The Krytos Trap

As the third entry in the X-Wing series, no time is spent on setting the stage. Coruscant's been taken, Corran horn is presumed dead but actually in a secret Empire prison, and Tycho Celchu is on trial. While the courtroom drama unexpectedly drives this book, there's still plenty of Rogue Squadron missions albeit none as interesting as the taking of Coruscant in Wedge's Gamble (X-Wing #2). Littered with unexpected twists and turns, I loved the direction this book took the series.
