Summary
The intrepid spies, pilots, and sharpshooters of Wraith Squadron are back in an all-new Star Wars adventure, which transpires just after the events of the Fate of the Jedi series!
Three decades have passed since Wraith Squadron carried out its last mission. Taking on the most dangerous and daring operations, the rogues and misfits of the elite X-Wing unit became legends of the Rebellion and the Second Galactic Civil War, before breaking up and going their separate ways. Now their singular skills are back in vital demand - for a tailor-made Wraith Squadron mission.
A powerful general in the Galactic Alliance Army, once renowned for his valor, is suspected of participating in the infamous Lecersen Conspiracy, which nearly toppled the Alliance back into the merciless hands of the Empire. With orders to expose and apprehend the traitor - and license to do so by any and all means - the Wraiths will become thieves, pirates, impostors, forgers...and targets, as they put their guts, their guns, and their riskiest game plan to the test against the most lethal of adversaries.

Needed more Space Battles.
My first Star Wars book in a while. Having read the other books in the X Wing series I was disappointed with the lack of combat especially space battles

not bad
Not bad as far as Star Wars audiobooks go, but could be much better. Audio quality, reading, and production values are all as good as you'd expect from the current batch of SW audiobooks, but the source material is a bit weak. Allston has never been my favourite SW author, another Stackpole X-wing novel would have been much preferable. One for younger fans perhaps.

bit meh
feel like this one was a slog... But I'm not familiar with Wraith Squadron, so knew none of the characters. I wish the whole Star Wars Xwing books were on here un abridged so I could go through them. narrator was great though,

An end of an era ill miss this galaxy far far away
Star wars meets espionage with a group of electric chatacters calling in the end for this seris of books..now that they are no longer star wars cannon which is a sad thing as this is how it should have gone. You have to concentrate to understand the complexities of wraith squadrons misson but if you stick with it its very good. The narration is excellent theres a voice for every character and background sound effects makes you feel back in the star wars world. And it makes you actuly love a professor of maths dancing Gammorean!

S-foils to attack position
Their back. I'm a huge fan of the X-Wing series of books. I read them first as a teenager and more than ten years on I will still deep into the series for a quick pleasure read. At first I was a little wary of the book but listening to it brought back all the old memories and Aaron Allstons style flows well, the humour and the serious mixed together and with Marc Thompson narrating it's a great listen. I highly recommend it to fans of the series especially for Wraith Squadron fans. Now I just hope they will bring us a new X-Wing book on the Rogues and see how they've changed.

Bad and misleading
I bought this because it is an X wing story but it's about a group of mercenaries not star fighers orspace battles.
It shouldn't be called an X wing book at all im highly disappointed and consider it to be a total waste of money.

Completely dull
Quite possibly the worst expanded universe book I have ever 'read'. I've read 90% of the expanded universe and normally like them. Previous Rogue or Wraith stories have been excellent. This never get's going and the plot that is there is dull beyond belief. I was glad when it ended and one of the few audio books I've had where I would want my money back.

What disappointed you about Star Wars: X-Wing: Mercy Kill?
The narration was terrible and the plot weak.I am a huge SW fan ecspecially the x-wing series, but this was just a shameless grab for some quick cash.
What didn’t you like about Marc Thompson’s performance?
flat with no attempt to bring the caracters to life.
What character would you cut from Star Wars: X-Wing: Mercy Kill?
the narrator

Dull
I read the book when it was released, found it fairly incomprehensible and shelved it with the regret that it was nothing like the others in the series. i decided to give it another go on audio. i wish i hadn't The writing is fairly terrible, the plot seems pointless and just jumps from scene to scene without having any clear purpose. I enjoyed fragments of the book but still don't really understand the point of it. it's nothing to do with the xwing series as most of it takes place in the form of supremely dull planetary settings for the main. Avoid.
