Product Description:
600 Years in the Future the Battle for Earth is About to Begin....
The egomaniacal alien Kilrathi have struck again, savaging a peaceful planet at the edge of space. And worse, they have captured a NAVCOM device that will lead them straight to Earth!
Chris Blair and his pal Maniac are 'nuggets,' cadets fresh from the Academy. Their very first ship, the Tiger Claw, has an awesome mission: Recover the NAVCOM, and stop the Kilrathi at all costs.
But Blair's fighting wing--Earth's last hope--is seething with internal strife. For somewhere among the thin blue line of heroes a traitor lurks!
Includes an 8 page full colour photo insert.

Before I ever knew about this book I saw the Movie Wing Commander, and I was a little disapointed with it. I was expecting more, and there was a lot of potential for this story to becoma something like Star Trek or even Star Wars. But unfortunately it wasn't. Then I found out about this book, bought it and read it. And it was EXCELENT! Much better than the movie, really fun to read, really enjoyable, and not tiring at all! Great action, great story, great characters. Too bad PETER TELEP wasn't envited to write the movie script as well. I was really glad I bought it, and I recomend it for all the sci fi fans out there!

The Wingcommander universe is a bold step away from what most of us are used to. It awakens the mind with its innovations. The fact that Christopher Blair is a minority member deeply imapacts me and puts a new human face on the normally all white Scifi universe. The courage that it took to jump a garavity well must have been a monumental leap for the farm boy of Nephele. Other than Lord of the rings, this book tells a story of more courage than any other book I've read. It is so deeply moving that I hope you'll read it too.

The novelization of the Wing Commander movie is defiantly better than the movie itself. It's charecters are more in depth, and the plot makes more sense. After reading the novel, I had a sense that I fully understood what happened. I didn't get that feeling from the movie.
I defiantly recommend this book to both Wing Commander fans and general sci-fi fans.

Well, i thouroughly enjoyed this book. It definately gave a feel to the movie, and some more background that answered all the questions I had about the movie. It was just cool! The insight into the Characters emotions at certain points were also good. Overall i think the book was very good!

Anybody else realise that Telep should just write MORE WC novels? I mean, anyone that can make the Kevin Droney movie script *readable* deserves some kinda reward...The book is fun to read, interesting and full of something the movie lacked: Character. Some come on Telep, a few more novels after Pilgrim Truth ok?
