another book from my boyfriend
********************
review from amazon:
Presumed dead at the end of "Wedge's Gamble", Corran Horn is actually captured and imprisoned in the infamous prison of the Empire: Lusankya. He is being tortured indoctrinated by Ysanne Isard so that he can potentially become a weapon against the Rebellion. Meanwhile, Rogue Squadron and the rest of the Rebel Alliance believe that Tycho Celchu is the murderer. They believed there was a spy in their midst and the evidence pointed to Tycho. Wedge, and some of the other Rogues, does not believe that Tycho could have been the spy. While the investigation and the trial of Tycho is taking place, Rogue Squadron and the Alliance are dealing with the trap Isard had laid on Coruscant. She essentially abandoned the planet and allowed the Alliance to retake Courscant, but Isard had a virus called Krytos which only targeted certain alien species and can only be cured by mass quantities of the miracle drug Bacta. Using enough bacta to save the planet will bankrupt the Alliance and selective use of bacta could destroy the Alliance from within by setting aliens against humans. Through all of this, Corran Horn is attempting to escape from Lusankya.

"The Krytos Trap" is the third book in the nine book X-Wing series. Michael Stackpole has done an excellent job in creating characters (especially Corran Horn) who are as compelling as any we saw in the Original Trilogy. Here, Horn learns more about the family history he was never told about and also more of the truth of Lusankya as well as about Tycho. There are fewer space battles in "The Krytos Trap", but Stackpole is a very good storyteller for Star Wars and his books are among the most entertaining of the entire series.
