Wing Commander II: End Run

I know this probably won't help those who are looking for this book, but all I can say is that it's worth it in the end. It's one of the best Wing Commander novels that I have ever read, and I really hope that you find the book. So don't give up. You'll find it. I did...

I finally found this book on my own at a local used book store and, needless to say, I was excited. This book was great. Well, the first part, "Milk Run", was a little stale, but the bulk of the story, "End Run", was masterful. There was a lot of great action and interesting characters. I liked how Kevin Tolwyn transformed from a spoiled rich brat into a mature soldier of the Confederation. Though not as good as Fleet Action, End Run was a superb novel set in the Wing Commander Universe and I, for one, am glad I found it.

The best Wing Commander novel - Jason "Bear" Bondarevsky is the new wing commander on the junk heap "Tarawa", a transport haphazardly converted into a carrier in order to battle increasing losses at the hands of the Kilrathi. Captained by a spineless desk jockey Captain O'Brien, the disposable carrier and it's mostly rookie crew finds itself thrust into the heart of the war effort... A great read, with action from beginning to end.

This is one of the finest books of it's genre I have ever read. The story is such that, not even can you you not guess what will happen on the next page, but you can't even hazard a guess as to what the outcome of the whole story will be. Stasheff and Forstchen are geniuses in that they keep the plot constantly moving in unforseen directions.It would make a fine film.

This book has all you could ever want from the Wing Commander Universe, it's great. I really wrote this because I wanted to make sure that William Forstchen's name was also in here since it was nowhere to be found and he did the majority of writing. Thanks.
