The X-Wing series is my favourite along with Shadows of the Empire.
Are those books connected to the Rogue Squadron comics in any way? I see that Stackpole was a writer on both.
Also, do you know if these books connect to the Hand of Thrawn books? Wedge appears in a few chapters and he’s accompanied by some other pilots whose names I don’t recognize. One of them has Force abilities. It’s obvious that they originate from some other books, I just don’t know which ones exactly.
Not connected to the comics, IIRC. I think Stackpole and Zahn were friends and they kept referencing each others’ ideas in their works. The characters you refer to indeed come from Stackpole’s books.
Well, in that case the X-Wing series might be a good place to continue after I’ve finished The Hand of Thrawn.
How about Stackpole’s other novels? Are they worth reading?
Gotta say I didn’t finish any of the others, but all of his other Star Wars books are tied closely to other series – I, Jedi to the Jedi Academy Trilogy and the others to the New Jedi Order series.
