Summary
The third book in the legendary series featuring the pilots of Rogue Squadron
The Rebels have taken the Imperial headquarters world of Coruscant， but their problems are far from over。
A killer virus called Krytos is spreading among the population and fomenting a counterrevolution at the heart of the New Republic。 At the same time， Rebel hero Tycho Celchu is on trial for treason， accused of murdering his comrade and fellow pilot Corran Horn。
Corran， however， is still alive， trapped in the secret， inescapable prison of Ysanne Isard， the imperial officer whose reputation for torture and cruelty have earned her the moniker Iceheart。 As he fights for his freedom， the pilot discovers an extraordinary power in himself—the power of the Force！

Excellent。Engaging plot with wonderful twists。Much better at showcasing the ensemble cast than the first in the series had been， though I was disappointed by the lack of Riv Shiel in this book。 I need more growly， fluffy bois in my Star Wars！

This might be my favorite book in the series。 It has less pilot action， which I do miss， but the converging plot lines and the truly surprising reveals are great。 As with the rest of the series there are some coincidences that strain belief， but they do provide a reason that a certain person keeps getting so lucky。 There are nonbinary minor characters， which for 1996 is surprisingly progressive。SPOILERS BELOWThis is where Corran first learns he's a Jedi！ And the Lusankya being hidden underneath This might be my favorite book in the series。 It has less pilot action， which I do miss， but the converging plot lines and the truly surprising reveals are great。 As with the rest of the series there are some coincidences that strain belief， but they do provide a reason that a certain person keeps getting so lucky。 There are nonbinary minor characters， which for 1996 is surprisingly progressive。SPOILERS BELOWThis is where Corran first learns he's a Jedi！ And the Lusankya being hidden underneath the city was mind-blowing when I first read this as a kid。 The book loses a little when you know the surprises already， but it's still a lot of fun。 And looking back， knowing Corran is force-sensitive makes some of the impossible luck and coincidences more believable。 。。。more

So much better than the 2nd installment。 The 'court room drama' angle did a lot better than the previous entry's spy-craft novel。 Good story choices， great third act that kept the pace up。 Did have to refer to the character list at the beginning a lot because the cast is still a little wide for my preference。 So much better than the 2nd installment。 The 'court room drama' angle did a lot better than the previous entry's spy-craft novel。 Good story choices， great third act that kept the pace up。 Did have to refer to the character list at the beginning a lot because the cast is still a little wide for my preference。 。。。more

This third X-Wing novel， The Krytos Trap， follows the New Republic’s response to the dying planet that Iceheart gave them， the trial of Tycho Celchu， and Corran’s experience after being captured by Iceheart and brought to Lusankya at the end of Wedge’s Gamble。 As with the last two books， Michael Stackpole brings a certain charm to the characters that makes them that much more likable， and the plot this time around is the just as interesting and investing as ever。The espionage and reconnaissance This third X-Wing novel， The Krytos Trap， follows the New Republic’s response to the dying planet that Iceheart gave them， the trial of Tycho Celchu， and Corran’s experience after being captured by Iceheart and brought to Lusankya at the end of Wedge’s Gamble。 As with the last two books， Michael Stackpole brings a certain charm to the characters that makes them that much more likable， and the plot this time around is the just as interesting and investing as ever。The espionage and reconnaissance of Wedge’s Gamble is replaced with political pressure and courtroom drama that polarizes the characters， pitting some friends and allies head-to-head。 Rising tension between humans and non-humans caused by the Krytos virus added another layer to character confrontations， making the situation on Coruscant that much more delicate and interesting。 Tycho’s trial became the focal point of this stress and was a plot line that I found just as interesting as the infiltration of Coruscant in the last book due to how much I like Tycho as a character。I think the execution of the trial’s story was rather well done， but how exactly the trial unfolds doesn’t quite leave the reader on the edge of their seat。 Because the defense does little to develop their case， the trial becomes a game where the goal is to stay stagnant。 That is， the goal of the defense—the only thing they can really do—is try to maintain Tycho’s reputation until some miraculous piece of evidence reveals itself to get them out of the mess they’re in。 Due to the lack of real development， the novel was good but didn’t become a page-turner until that miraculous piece of evidence revealed itself as a possibility。 That being said， how the political tension between humans and non-humans （as well as between Rogue Squadron and the New Republic） still gave characters moments to shine in this narrative thread。The conclusion of Tycho’s trial， which naturally resolves the spy subplot， I was quite happy with， partly because I guessed the reveal and I’m very proud of myself。My opinion of the story on Coruscant outside of the courtroom is similar。 The scramble for bacta and a cure for the Krytos virus was well done， but certain aspects， like Rouge Squadron’s journey to a planet to procure a possible ingredient for a cure， felt awkwardly paced and almost unnecessary。 However， the asynchronous battle between Loor’s team and the New Republic’s forces was fascinating as Loor tries to tarnish the New Republic’s reputation via methods making the bacta situation even worse。Speaking of Loor， I was a bit disappointed with where his character ended up。 Certain developments that I was looking forward to are no longer possible， and even though， after a certain point， I guessed where Loor would be， I can’t help but feel a storyline was cut short。 The character that pushed Loor to this position also seemed to act awkwardly， or rather suddenly。 I was confused about how he was able to accomplish what he did。 What the narrative provided was still good， but I feel like certain story beats were missing。Regarding Corron’s journey on Lusankya， I believe his story had the most consistent quality。 His subjugation to Iceheart’s evil intentions gave Iceheart the opportunity to shine as a villain， which I didn’t feel like she was able to before now， and Corran’s attempts to analyze and escape his prison added great suspense to the third act。 Also I’m happy because I was able to guess a certain fact about Lusankya before it was revealed。One of my favorite aspects of this novel， something that I think will stick with me whenever I think of Star Wars， is the imagery of the climax。 The battle for Coruscant of the last novel was great， but the sense of scale and the relation between Corran’s character and the location of this epic climax made the scene legendary。An aspect of the climax that I wish was covered better in the novel is character reactions to a certain reveal in the courtroom while the spectacle is going on outside。 The biggest reaction we get is from Admiral Ackbar， which is great， but then the novel skips over all of the character reactions that I was looking forward to and jumps to the aftermath。 A similar issue occurred at the end of Wedges Gamble where I wanted to see Rogue Squadron’s direct reaction to Corran’s supposed death， but the text skipped over that story beat。Some final random notes: the development of Corran’s character at the very end was interesting; I sort of saw it coming， but it was still satisfying。 Also， I’m fairly certain at this point that Stackpole was contractually obligated to reference the Thrawn trilogy as least twice per novel with at least one of those references being the Katana fleet。 I was proud of myself for catching the Mara Jade reference though; it stretched believability in one respect， but I appreciate its subtlety in another。 My connection with this cast of characters is really what makes the novel for me。 Especially three books in， I feel like even if the plot was somewhat mediocre， which this isn’t in the slightest， that I’d still be invested just because I want to see what happens to this ensemble。 Stackpole has proved himself an expert at capturing a certain comfort and relatability with a Star Wars story， and I’m thrilled to see the conclusion of this first X-Wing story arc in book four。 。。。more

We did it！ We liberated Coruscant！ 。。。now what？4。5/5 Props to Stackpole for the intricacies he brings to what might otherwise have been a crucial but mundane chapter in the New Republic。

Personally I think this is the strongest entry in the Rogue Squadron series so far。 I still want more space combat but the trial of Tycho was quite exciting and Corrans escape from Lusankya equally so。 It's amazing that this book having released over 20 years ago managed to keep the secret from me of having the SSD buried on Coruscant。 I can understand why so many people who began their EU Legends journey in the 90s were saddened by the loss of these novels。 The Zahn books and Stackpole stuff re Personally I think this is the strongest entry in the Rogue Squadron series so far。 I still want more space combat but the trial of Tycho was quite exciting and Corrans escape from Lusankya equally so。 It's amazing that this book having released over 20 years ago managed to keep the secret from me of having the SSD buried on Coruscant。 I can understand why so many people who began their EU Legends journey in the 90s were saddened by the loss of these novels。 The Zahn books and Stackpole stuff really was top tier。 It's a shame that later ers stuff wasn't able to produce the same level of quality at all times。 。。。more

I had to force myself to finish this book。。。and I think I've reached the end of my journey with the "Rogue Squadron" series。 While I still love the political machinations of the fledgling New Republic （those Bothans are outrageous）， the rest of the novel and its characters just makes me yawn。 Like the Hutts and their milieu， this isn't the corner of the Lucasverse that makes me excited。 Consider this rounded up from 2。5 stars。 I had to force myself to finish this book。。。and I think I've reached the end of my journey with the "Rogue Squadron" series。 While I still love the political machinations of the fledgling New Republic （those Bothans are outrageous）， the rest of the novel and its characters just makes me yawn。 Like the Hutts and their milieu， this isn't the corner of the Lucasverse that makes me excited。 Consider this rounded up from 2。5 stars。 。。。more

I absolutely loved this book。 I was wondering where they had left to go after the Rebels took Coruscant， but the directions Stackpole takes this book in are so cool。 Characters other than Corran are given more time to shine， which is great， but the also develop him in a really great way that sets up future storylines。 The political intrigue surrounding the trial was one of my favorite parts of the book， it actually manages to make all the courtroom scenes fascinating。 The main antagonist essenti I absolutely loved this book。 I was wondering where they had left to go after the Rebels took Coruscant， but the directions Stackpole takes this book in are so cool。 Characters other than Corran are given more time to shine， which is great， but the also develop him in a really great way that sets up future storylines。 The political intrigue surrounding the trial was one of my favorite parts of the book， it actually manages to make all the courtroom scenes fascinating。 The main antagonist essentially disappears from the narrative， but it's so busy and there's a decent replacement anyway， so she's not quite missed， but the way she and the Rogues are set up for the last book in this arc is awesome and I can't wait to read it。 This was my favorite X-Wing so far， and with Corran being separated from the rest of the squadron I didn't expect to feel that way。 I could hardly put this book down。 Fantastic。 。。。more

The first half of this book ties up the loose threads left by the cliffhanger ending of the previous installment。 The trial of Tycho Celchu drags。 Sci-fi trial scenes tend to fall flat because the legal rules are not explained clearly enough for us to follow the ups and downs of who's winning， and unfortunately that's the case here。 The titular "Krytos virus" bio-weapon is cured through a series of fetch quests。 After all the buildup， this feels anti-climactic。 The missions give a pretext for ex The first half of this book ties up the loose threads left by the cliffhanger ending of the previous installment。 The trial of Tycho Celchu drags。 Sci-fi trial scenes tend to fall flat because the legal rules are not explained clearly enough for us to follow the ups and downs of who's winning， and unfortunately that's the case here。 The titular "Krytos virus" bio-weapon is cured through a series of fetch quests。 After all the buildup， this feels anti-climactic。 The missions give a pretext for exposition of the Twi'lek and Bothan cultures。 This material might have been revelatory in 1996， but it's hard to feel invested now that it is officially non-canon。The pace picks up in the last 100 pages。 Corran Horn is imprisoned， and his escape attempt involves two delightfully over-the-top centerpiece scenes。 They are highly improbable empty-calorie fun， but come on -- this is Star Wars。Quibbles: The New Republic conquered Corsucant， and somehow this is a huge burden with no upside？？ I'd expect it to be a massive boost to the war effort as a tax base， industrial center， and political symbol。 The phrase "opened his/her hands" is repeated very often， so much that I wonder whether it is some kind of inside joke or dare。 The descriptions of the starfighter kills are strikingly more graphic than the previous novels in the series。 。。。more

The Krytos Trap is by Michael A。 Stackpole is the 3rd published Star Wars X-Wing novel， and my favorite。 Stackpole combines the two great things that work with the prior novels Rogue Squadron and Wedge's Gamble: the epic space combat and the background of the planet-city of Coruscant。 The novel follows our Rogues shortly after they liberate Coruscant/Imperial Center from the Empire， but they an awful treat from the Ysanne Isard。。。The Krytos Virus。 Introduced in the previous novel， this virus is The Krytos Trap is by Michael A。 Stackpole is the 3rd published Star Wars X-Wing novel， and my favorite。 Stackpole combines the two great things that work with the prior novels Rogue Squadron and Wedge's Gamble: the epic space combat and the background of the planet-city of Coruscant。 The novel follows our Rogues shortly after they liberate Coruscant/Imperial Center from the Empire， but they an awful treat from the Ysanne Isard。。。The Krytos Virus。 Introduced in the previous novel， this virus is deadly and kills only non-humans。 It can be cured， but only by using large amounts of bacta， which is meant to bankrupt the New Republic。 Meanwhile， Tycho Celchu， a rogue squadron pilot is being tried for treason and the murder of Corran Horn。 Co-pilot of his Nawara Ven is being his lawyer。 Then we arrive at the best story arc of this novel， Corran Horn in Iceheart's personal prison。 In the previous novel， during the sequence where the New Republic took Coruscant from the Empire， Corran Horn's fighter crashed and he was presumed dead， but at the end of the novel we learn that he was actually captured by Ysanna Isard and taken to her prison。 The novel focuses on all three of those stories and balances them perfectly。 If you get attached to Corran's story and you see the next chapter is about Tycho you may feel disappointed， but you always will enjoy the next chapter。 The X-Wing series continues to delight and it is a little bittersweet to know that the adventures of Rogue Squadron may be coming to an end soon。 In short， if you enjoy The X-Wing novels or Michael A。 Stackpole in general， The Krytos Trap is a fantastic read for sci-fi or Star Wars fans！ 。。。more
