Review #25: Star Wars: X-Wing: The Krytos Trap

Book Three of the X-wing series by Michael Stackpole is The Krytos Trap. I know, we skipped book two, get over it. In the Krytos Trap Ysanne Isard has flees Coruscant, doing massive damage as her Super Star Destroyer, Lusankya, which was buried under part of the city, is raised it from its moorings, causing widespread devastation.

Tycho Celchu is on trial for the murder of Corran Horn, who’s fighter crashed while taking Coruscant. Celchu, it is thought, wired Horn’s ship crash.

Corran Horn, however, is a prisoner of Isard before she flees, and his escape is one of the main factors for her flight. Her secret prison, which Horn thought was on another planet, was hidden on Coruscant all along. Horn learns that fellow pilot Tycho Celchu is not the traitor that everyone thinks he is. Horn appears at Celchu’s trial and clears his name.

They are now dealing with a planet ravaged by plague, a plague that attacks only non-humans, stirring up anti-human sentiment all over Coruscant. Wedge and the rest discuss battle plans on how to take Isard out of the game. After clearing Celchu, the squadron resigns their commissions to carry out the war against Isard.
