Wedge Antilles is a combat-hardened X-wing pilot, one of the only fliers to survive the missions against both Death Stars.

But when he heads a rescue and retrieval for a downed man on the planet Cilpar, he finds something he'd never expected: a culture that hates the Empire... and hates the Alliance even more!
