Star Wars: X-Wing: Mercy Kill.

I have less to say about this one than I thought.  Much better than any other Star Wars novel in years, but still set against the backdrop of all kinds of editorially mandates events and changes in the universe I deplore.  It was a lot of fun to see Wraith Squadron back in action; but more than anything it makes me want fix-it fanfic and more novels set pre-NJO, in an era I actually care about.
