swbookclubWelcome to our first of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.
This month’s book is Rogue Squadron (Star Wars: X-Wing #1) by Michael A. Stackpole
Chapters 1-10
Rogue Squadron Part 1 of 4
1. The first few chapters introduce several of the pilots and allow us as readers to eavesdrop as they establish their initial relationships. Which characters do you see as possibly filling common roles? (ie. hot shot, joker, arrogant competition, etc.)
2. What do you think of Corran Horn and Agent Loor's history and do you have any predictions on how it'll impact this story?
3. Wedge seems to have to balance politics with piloting in rebuilding Rogue Squadron. How many obstacles do you think he'll face before he's successful?
4. What other thoughts do you have? How are you liking it so far?
FYI - There's no need to answer all (or any) of the questions above - they're just talking points to get us started. Informal chatter is more than welcome! In-person book clubs often veer off topic, it's okay if we do as well. :)
All I ask is that you try to avoid spoilers for things past Part I of the book.

Interesting. I gathered he was to be The. Guy. You know, the one that the author's imagined fans adore (aka. self-insert). That sounds rather harsh and I don't really intend it to be - just that I immediately assumed he's the one the author wants us to connect with.
Although, when I google to refresh myself on character names, Tycho (the XO) comes up a lot - which tells me I might be wrong about Corran? IDK.
