Star Wars: X-Wing Series-By Michael A. Stackpole

This series takes place 2.5 years after ROTJ.

Book 1: Rogue Squadron

Its very name strikes fear into enemy hearts. So when Rebel hero Wedge Antilles rebuilds the legendary Rogue Squadron, he seeks out only the best-the most skilled, the most daring X-wing pilots. Through arduous training and dangerous missions, he weeds out the weak from the strong, assembling a group of hard-bitten warriors willing to fight, ready to die. Antilles knows the grim truth: that even with the best X-wing jockeys in the galaxy, many will not survive their near-suicidal missions. But when Rogue Squadron is ordered to assist in the assault on the heavily fortified Imperial stronghold of Black Moon, even the bravest must wonder if any at all will survive....

Book 2: Wedge's Gamble

It is the evil heart of a battered and reeling Empire: Coruscant, the giant city-world from whose massive towers the Imperial High Command directs the war. The Rebels will invade this mighty citadel in a daring move to bring the Empire to its knees. But first Wedge Antilles and his X-wing pilots must infiltrate Coruscant to gain vital intelligence information. Capture means death, or worse-enslavement by the vicious leader known as "Iceheart," Ysanne Isard, now Emperor in all but name. And one of Rogue Squadron's won is already her slave, a traitor hidden behind a mask of innocence, working to betray both colleagues and the Rebellion itself.

Book 3:The Krytos Trap

The Rebels have taken Coruscant. But their problems are from over. A killer virus called Krytos is wiping out the indigenous population, and a counterrevolution is exploding. At the center of the storm is the highly charged treason trial of Rebel hero Tycho Celchu. While agents provacateurs carry out their acts of terrorism, the fledging state can be defended only by the blood and courage of the Rogue Squadron. As the X-wing fighters scramble to save the Rebellion, Corran Horn, given up for dead in Ysanne Isard's inescapable prison, discovers that he alone holds the key to freeing Coruscant from the Empire!

Book 4: The Bacta War

While the Alliance Fleet mounts a major campaign against a deadly warlord, Ysanne Isard has seized control of Thyferra, intending to use its precious supply of bacta to destabilize and destroy the New Republic. It falls to Rogue Squadron-undermanned, deprived of Alliance support and even of weapons- to oppose Isard's dangerous designs, defeat her powerful complement of Star Destroyers, and free Thyferra from her iron rule. But when Isard discovers the Squadron's secret base, its ragtag group of pilots must scramble for survival in a winner-takes-all battle against Isard's overwhelming and seemingly superior force.


Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights Series-By Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta

This series takes place 21 years after ROTJ

Book 1:Heirs of the Force

While exploring the jungle ouside the academy, the Twins make a startling discovery-the remains of a TIE fighter that had crashed years ago during the battle against the first Death Star. Mechanical whiz Jaina thinks she can repair it...if they can sneak the right parts from the academy.
Meanwhile, their work is being closely watched -but not by academy eyes. The original pilot, an Imperial trooper, has been living wild in the jungle since his ship went down. Waiting to return to duty. And now his chance has come....

Book 2: Shadow Academy

the Dark Jedi Brakiss-the student Luke Skywalker expelled from his academy-has learned much since he left. Enough to master the dark side of the Force. And enough to establish his own school for training Jedi-the Shadow Academy.
But now Brakiss has been given an even greater task. Not only must he create a sinister legion of Dark Jedi to serve the Empire, he must undertake a challenge not even Darth Vader and the Emperor could meet: kidnap the heirs of the Skywalker bloodline, and turn them to the dark side of the Force....

Book 3: The Lost Ones

During a break in training, Jacen and Jaina are reunited with their old friend Zekk, an orphan living in the streets on their home planet of Coruscant. Young, wild, and free, Zekk has never had a care in the world, until now. He sees changes in his friends. Jacen and Jaina have learned so much, have grown in so many ways. Compared to them, he is only a lost little boy.
However, a powerful being has seen his potential. Someone who knows about shame and jealousy-and how to make use of them. Someone who knows the dark side of the Force is especially attractive when you've got nothing to lose....

Book 4: Lightsabers

Luke Skywalker has come to a grim conclusion. With the threat of a new generation of Dark Jedi being trained at the Shadow Academy, he knows the New Republic will need all the fighters it can muster. At last, it is time for the young Jedi Knights to build their lightsabers.
But there is more to mastering the ancient than mere swardsmanship. Each student must learn about the mysterious bond between Jedi and lightsaber. For Jacen and Jaina, success will mean growing stronger in the Force. But for one of their friends, failure will mean tragedy....

Book 5: Darkest Knight

The twins and Lowbacca are off to the Wookiee's home planet of Kashyyyk, where Lowie's younger sister is about to undergo the terrifying rite of passage. The ceremony is dangerous and difficult, and he wants to help her in any way he can.
Meanwhile, the Dark Jedi student Zekk has been given his own rite of passage: to lead a raid on the great Wookiee computer center on Kashyyyk. Finally, he will fullfill his awesome potential. Finally, he will become the Second Imperium's Darkest Knight. But first he must face his old friends Jacen and Jaina, once and for all....

Book 6: Jedi Under Siege

The day of reckoning is at hand for the young Jedi Knights. The Shadow Academy-with its army of Dark Jedi and Imperial stormtroopers-has appeared in the sky over Yavin 4. And when a commando raid destroyed the shield generator protecting the Jedi academy, there is only one option: to fight.
Now Jacen and Jaina, along with Luke Skywalker and their friends, must trust in the Force and do battle with their sworn enemies-the Dark Jedi Zekk, his master Brakiss, and the loathsome Nightsister Tamith Kai. Victory means a new legacy of Jedi coming of age. Defeat means a final cloak of darkness over the entire galaxy....

Book 7: Shards of Alderaan

Jacen and Jaina set off for the Alderaan system, determined to salvage a piece of the shattered planet as a gift for their mother. But amid the ghosts of a dead world, the twins are in for a deadly surprise: some ghosts sill live. A long-lost enemy of the Solo family is about to return.

Book 8: Diversity Alliance

Everyone is searching for Bornan Thul. Not only is the father of one of Jacen's and Jaina's fellow students, he holds the key to a secret coalition gaining power in the New Republic. The young Jedi Knights race across the galaxy to find him-but they may be too late. For their true enemy is about to show its treacherous face. And it will be shockingly familiar....

Book 9: Delusions of Grandeur

Coming Soon!!!! As the search for Raynor Thul's father continues, the young Jedi Knights turn for help to a most unusual-and dangerous-source: the reprogrammed assassin droid IG-88. They think they can keep him under control. But can one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy be trusted?
