Wedge's Gamble

These are the X-wing fighters; they are lethal, nimble, and sleek. Furthermore, the pilots put their machines and lives at danger for the Rebel Alliance as the war against the Empire rages throughout the expanse of space. Now, in order to defeat the might of a merciless adversary, they must set out on a perilous spy mission, risking treachery and death on the Imperial homeworld!

The Imperial High Command oversees the conflict from the enormous towers of Coruscant, the huge city-world that represents the dark core of a beleaguered and collapsing Empire. The Rebels want to overthrow the Empire by daringly invading this powerful bastion. To get crucial intelligence, Wedge Antilles and his X-wing fighters must first infiltrate Coruscant. Catching Ysanne Isard, the ferocious commander known as "Iceheart," who is now Emperor in everything but name, means either death or, worse, becoming a slave. Furthermore, one of the members of Rogue Squadron is already her slave; he is a traitor posing as an innocent person and trying to undermine the Rebellion as well as his comrades.
