Title: Quick Question: Read X-Wing: Mercy Kill or Starfighters of Adumar first?
Post by: turtle225 on September 22, 2016, 02:56:03 PM

Hello again. Just finished Isard's Revenge and about to continue my journey with the series.

I noticed however, that Mercy Kill takes place last in terms of chronology even though it was written before Starfighters.

So should I read Starfighters first for chronology, should I read Mercy first to follow the order the books were written in, or does it really not matter at all?

Thanks.

Edit: Disregard I had it mixed up. Starfighers was both written first and happens first chronologically. Thanks for the help.

I think you've got that the wrong way around - Starfighters of Adumar was released in 1999, Mercy Kill was released in 2012!  I've not read Mercy Kill yet myself, but from Wookieepedia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mercy_Kill) I gather it's set in 44 ABY (30 years after Starfighters of Adumar) but with flashbacks to the intervening years.

Wow you are totally right and I'm a clown. Guess that makes it easy. Thanks.
