Wing Commander: False Colors
False Colors is a science fiction novel set in the universe of Origin Systems' computer game Wing Commander. Published in 1998, the book was written by Andrew Keith and William R. Forstchen, though William H. Keith (Andrew's brother) was incorrectly credited on the front cover.
False Colors is set in the years between Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger and Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom, and revolves around a handful of well known Confederation personnel who join the ranks of the Free Republic of the Landreich in an attempt to prevent an ambitious Kilrathi warlord from starting a second Terran-Kilrathi war.
This novel was supposed to be the first part of a trilogy, but Andrew Keith died in an accident before he had time to begin work on the other books.

Together wing to wing and oar to oar.”
