thank you when I googled it, all that came up was some site called good used books which I never heard ofBunch of listings from Amazon:

I just bought fleet action for 4 dollars so if I like it what other books should I buy, the other one that looks really interesting is false colors
thanks yall I will start here bc several people have told me it is the best and then I will go from thereActually I found all of them nice to read. Freedom Flight is pretty funny and the WC3+WC4 novels are really informative, even though I don't like Blairs decisions in the books compared to what I did in the games.
EDIT: Action Stations is my favourite I think.
I read somewhere that the wing commander 4 novel does not follow the game at all, which is why I dont want to read it bc I think the story of wc4 is pretty perfect.Actually I found all of them nice to read.

The WC4 novelization is different in some ways. It's still a good story and you can't beat the price. Nothing wrong with more Wing Commander!

I might get to it eventually but I dont want to change the image of wc4 in my head
Though the novel deviates from the game quiet a bit (Catscratch is in the book for, what, 10 pages?), I found the book added a lot to the overall story.
I also read that blair has an affair with sosa which never happens or is even hinted at in the game. the only mild flirtation I see is between blair and panther
I agree a novel should fill in gaps and expand the characters, WC4 was ripe with characters to expand on like vagabond who is still a mystery in wc4, I dont think a novel should leave out main characters and create love stories where in the official game they are never there.Yup. And what will really cook your noodle is that since the book is sanctioned by EA, its just as "canon" as the game.
But no "translation to novel" should be word for word rote. Thats boring. In fact, the WC3 novel takes quite a few liberties (one I definitely disagree with) and I enjoy the game that much more for it.

Yeah, I was annoyed that Blair's entire squadron except for Maniac and Vagabond were KIA in the book. Sure, Cobra died in the game no matter what, but Flash, Vaquero, and Flint all died with none of them ejecting.
