4.0 out of 5 stars
A brilliant collaboration! [NO Spoilers],

This review is from: End Run (Wing Commander) (Paperback)
Stasheff sets them up, while Forstchen knock's em down. This book is a one-two punch for any fan of the PC video game, but also simply as a tale of science-fiction. It is broken up into two parts, a short story which acts as a 'prologue' (Milk Run, written by Stasheff) that will just rip your heart out with deep characterization and plot; the title 'novel' portion, written by Forstchen, follows up the result of the short story with continuation of the character Jason 'Bear' Bonderevsky aboard a slapped-together escort carrier _Tarawa_. Where Stasheff rips your heart out, Forstchen stomps on it with character interaction and the tragedy that is war. The last scene in this book always brings me to tears. I highly recommend this novel, and urge you to hit up one of the auctioneers or go to a used book store. This book is sadly out of print!

Took me a while, but I found it.......,
By A Customer
This review is from: End Run (Wing Commander) (Paperback)
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.

Excellent expansion to the Wing Commander universe,
By A Customer
This review is from: End Run (Wing Commander) (Paperback)
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.
