Book 4 - 'The Bacta War' by Michael A. Stackpole  

Bantam Press 1997  

Set 3-ish years after RotJ 

 book cover
Story -- Isard has taken over Thyferra, home of bacta-production, and the Rogues are mighty ticked off about this. The New Republic government can't officially do a whole lot, so they all resign their commissions and become renegades to punish Isard and take back Thyferra. Unfortunately, they have no base and only one X-wing between them...

Original characters from the movies -- Wedge and Admiral Ackbar.

New characters -- see previous novels.
 
Cover art -- X-wings and an SSD. Nice explosion.

Chicks -- 14 listed Rogues at the front of the book include 6 chicks (!), 1 of them an officer; Mirax, Isard.

Any good? -- yup, I really liked this one. It had a more 'Star Wars' feel to it, probably because they weren't frustrated by politics, etc. and it felt more like the Rebellion.  Some really nice relationship stuff (with family as well as significant others).

Read it? -- yeah, go for it.

Rating -- 8 out of 10
