This is the book 4 in the 'original' (as in, Rogue Squadron, not Wraith Squadron) mid-90s series of Star Wars novels, following on from the earlier novels [book:Rogue Squadron|513176], [book:Wedge's Gamble|513198] and [book:The Krytos Trap|513200].

Here' we're still following the exploits - mainly - of Corran Horn and his fellow X-Wing pilots, as they resign from The New Republic (at the end of the previous novel) in order to launch an all-out war on the Imperial dictator Ysanne Isard, who has now taken control of the planet Thyferra where the miracle healing agent Bacta originates from.

So, Top Gun in space, basically.

I still find these more enjoyable than the newer, post-Disney acquisition, novels such as [book:Alphabet Squadron|42207529]

Potential and Change
Set in a future where people have retreated to walled cities, if they are lucky. Between the cities lies ravaged wasteland, mutants, polluted landscapes, disaster. Only Native American Enclaves have avoided the pollution running rampant through land and society. Years ago they withdrew with their superior technology, waiting for the day when their skills are needed to restore the Earth and heal the people. Gazhee, dogscout of the People, has been sent from his Enclave to report back on conditions and serve as the eyes of his people. His first task is to find out what happened to the Enclave plane brought down by someone in the nearest city. Has the time for healing begun, or is all hell about to break loose?

Numair (0 more)
If you are a fan of the Tortall world you should live this book. Set before the Immortals Sonnet, we get to see what Numair's childhood was like as he grows up in Carthak and meets Ozorne and Valice. Unlike most of her books this is completely set in Numair' s aka Arran Draper' s p.o.v.
I would recommend to pre-teens and older however, suggest that parent's read first because male puberty is discussed. Also discussed is Bullying, slavery, death, learning mage craft, political intrigue, friendship, love, gods, war. and has a few graphic fighting and healing scenes. A fast-paced read that has world building to reacquaint people to known characters. it does have an abrupt ending but I'm also selfish in I didn't want the book to end.

Different Tale: Mother Knows Best
Tangled- is a great and fantasic movie with good songs like.."When Will My Life Begin", "Mother Knows Best", "I've Got A Dream", "I See The Lignt", and "Healing Incantation".

The plot: Disney animation of a classic tale. Beautiful princess Rapunzel has been locked away in a tower since she was captured as a baby by an old hag. Her magical long blonde hair has the power to provide eternal youth, and the evil Gothel uses this power to keep her young. At the age of 18, Rapunzel becomes curious about the outside world, and when a prince uses her tower as a refuge, she asks him to help her escape.

It has action, adventure, lots of comedy, darkness, so basically a normal disney animated movie.
