''Heart of the Tiger''
Novelization of Wing Commander III, written by Andrew Keith and William R. Forstchen. Published by Baen Books in 1995.

''The Price of Freedom''
Novelization of Wing Commander IV, written by Ben Ohlander and William R. Forstchen. Published by Baen Books in 1995. It departs significantly from the plot of the video game: it trivializes several significant characters and plot developments, and totally rewrites game-established Border Worlds technology.
''Action Stations''
The novel tells the story of the beginnings of the war, twenty years before the first game. An interesting detail about this story is that it is presented as a historical drama, from the point of view of an author writing about the beginning of the war many years after the fact. Several events in the novel bear more than a passing resemblance to the events before and during the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Action Stations was written by William R. Forstchen.

Operatives of the Landreich try to salvage a Kilrathi supercarrier left over from the war to prevent a warlord from starting a second human-Kilrathi war.
