I don't know much of the Rogue Squadron series. Honestly, I um never read that series.. *blush* All I know is that this mini take's place just right after A New Hope and that Luke still wearing his farm boy gear, and is the hero of the hour. Some Rebels are celebarting (ie the pilot at the beginning) and the Empire is cracking down hard on this.
Though, there is one big plot hole I just realized in this story. Ugh... Vader knows where the Rebel base is at. The Empire knows where it's at. Yet he hasn't attacked Yavin Four. Luke and the Rebels are still headquartered there in this story. Even though they should be evacing the hell out of there.
