X-Wing: Mercy Kill exists as the complete, spoken-word iteration of the Legends book with an identical title penned by Aaron Allston. Marc Thompson lent his voice to the audiobook rendition, which Random House Audio made available on August 7, 2012. It manifested in two formats: a downloadable audiobook and a physical set comprising eleven CDs. Kevin Thomsen directed the project, while Aaron Blank took on the role of executive producer.
The elite Wraith Squadron returns to action, taking on a high-stakes mission that will pit their wits and weapons against a renegade Imperial General.
Wraith Squadron: Once a legendary group of X-wing pilots known for undertaking perilous missions during the Rebellion, they eventually disbanded. Now, thirty years later, their unique talents are needed again for a specially designed Wraith Squadron operation.
A prominent general within the Galactic Alliance Army, formerly celebrated for his bravery, is now suspected of involvement in a plot that almost returned the Alliance to Imperial control. Tasked with uncovering and capturing the traitor—and authorized to use any methods necessary—the Wraiths will become deceivers, looters, pretenders, counterfeiters . . . and prey, as they risk everything to execute their most daring plan!
