It’s been a long time coming, but a new Wraith Squadron novel is just around the corner. Well, relatively speaking, given how long ago the last novel was released. Anyway, I digress! The Official Star Wars Blog has posted the front cover and a description courtesy of Del Rey of Aaron Allston’s X-Wing: Mercy Kill which is due out in hardback on August 7, 2012, with cover art by Mike Bryan.
Outcasts and misfits, spies and warriors, pilots and troublemakers — they’re Wraith Squadron. Founded decades ago by ace pilot Wedge Antilles, this elite intelligence unit, disbanded at the end of a catastrophic civil war, is reunited by former leader Face Loran to find out whether one of the galaxy’s most powerful military officers is a traitor… and whether anyone can stop him if he is. To succeed in their mission, the Wraiths must become thieves, pirates, imposters, forgers, and liars, staying just one step ahead of their enemies and the law!
