Star Wars XWing The Krytos Trap Book 3 Michael A Stackpole Books

Michael Stackpole's "X_Wing" series follows the adventures of Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron in the years following Return of the Jedi. "The Krytos Trap" is the third in the 4-book series that essentially tells one long story.

Stackpole successfully blends a military feel, a stereotypical elite (and unconventional) military unit, and the Star Wars universe to create an interesting and worthy addition to the Star Wars universe. Although occasionally some of the "big names" from Star Wars make an appearance or are mentioned, this series focuses on the pilots in Rogue Squadron.

"The Krytos Trap" picks up immediately where "Wedge's Gamble" leaves off. However, because Rogue Squadron is back in its X-Wings and no longer operating unrealistically as commandos on Coruscant, this book is much truer to the first book. The book is filled with galactic intrigue and politics, a court-martial that ends a bit too dramatically, an evil plan to foil the former Rebels, and exciting outer space combat.

Stackpole's third book in the X-Wing series is an improvement over the second book. It returns the story back to outer space and leads to the exciting conclusion in the fourth book.

Star Wars XWing The Krytos Trap Book 3 Michael A Stackpole Books Reviews

I'm roughly two-thirds done with the book, and as with Rogue Squadron and Wedge's Gamble, the book has been enjoyable. During the dogfights, I find that Mr. Stackpole gets a little too much into the technical details of describing the fights, but at the same time, it's somewhat required of those sorts of scenes.

The most disappointing thing when reading this book is that I'm reading the version and the OCR scan (optical character recognition) was not run through any sort of spell check or editing process. There were a few in the first two books of the series, but this one is just loaded down, really burdened by them, taking me out of the story to try and decipher what was originally written. I'm sure it's too late now for the publisher to spend the time and money on such a thing, but it's something that should be done for any future releases of books originally produced prior to eReaders.
liked it
awesome book. Loved it.
I enjoyed this book thoroughly. The author is doing a much better job with the later books in the series than the first. Can't wait to read the next.
Standard entry by Stackpole in the Rogue Squadron Series. Even allowing for Corran Horn's latent talent in the force, his escape from Lusankya seemd easier than it should have.

Corran's discovery of his family's Jedi heritage seems like a set up for future adventures in the Corran Horn story line.

The rest of the story seems mostly a set up for the next book, The Bacta War, which I am acually looking forward to, based on the first 2 books of the story.
Of the X-Wing series this one has both some of the most important moments and is the slowest to progress. This book brings forth all the things that make the next books exciting, but at the same time is slow and often tedious, and two of the main plot lines actually end with "and we knew all along it wasn't you!" This book is a bridge between the Taking of Coruscant arc and the Warlords of the Empire arc, therefore necessary for the series, but it takes some determination to keep your interest.
I am reading the X-Wing series in order and "Krytos Trap" is easily the best of the series so far. It is a huge improvement over "Rogue Squadron" and much better than "Wedge's Gamble."

Dogfights take a back seat as plot development becomes more central. Here, we finally see more character development, a more believable storyline, better dialogue. I spent most of the book wondering what would happen to Tycho and how was Corran going to escape . . . and I cared!

I still don't understand why people think Kirtan Loor is such a villain. He's more a buffoon now than ever before -- motivated only by self-preservation, not by some grand, evil scheme. In such a role, he plays it well.

Although I've been told this book is part of a tetrology, "Krytos Trap" could easily be the end of a trilogy. I am not left dangling off a ledge, but there is more left that could be told. If "Rogue Squadron" did not impress you, hang in there! It does get better.
