The first time I read X-Wing: The Krytos Trap I thought that was what was happening, and I thought the same thing the second time I picked the book up. One of the things that I find really frustrating when reading a series of books is when, instead of continuing the storyline they were on, the author/s go off on a big loop, kinda like Ω, taking a big detour away from the story. As the X-wing fighters scramble to save the Rebellion, Corran Horn, given up for dead in Ysanne Isard's inescapable prison, discovers he alone holds the key to freeing Coruscant from the Empire! While agents provocateurs carry out their acts of terrorism, the fledging state can be defended only by the blood and courage of Rogue Squadron. At the center of the storm is the highly charged treason trial of Rebel hero Tycho Celchu. A killer virus called Krytos is wiping out the indigenous population, and a counter-revolution is exploding. The Rebels have taken Coruscant, but their problems are far from over. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Arabella by Georgette Heyer" generation's Julia Quinn"- Adjoa Andoh on Georgette Heyer, stars as Lady Danbury in Bridgerton, in Red Magazine So she allows herself to be provoked into a game of deception-one that could have unexpected consequences.
