وصف الناشر
A Warhammer 40,000 Novel
With the Imperial forces locked in a gruelling war of attrition over the dead hive city of Vesperus, a former ace fighter pilot returns to the cockpit as the Aeronautica risks it all to secure Interceptor City for the Imperium.
READ IT BECAUSE
Twenty years after the release of the highly acclaimed Double Eagle, Dan Abnett returns to the Aeronautica Imperialis for the long-awaited follow-up. Follow along as an ace dogfighter is forced out of her comfortable “retirement” and back into deadly aerial combat.
THE STORY
Former ace fighter pilot Bree Jagdea’s days of high-octane, white-knuckle dogfights are long behind her. Content with executing supply runs for the war effort, Jagdea considers herself retired. But when enemy forces start a relentless bombing campaign through the hive city of Vesperus, Jagdea is forced back into the Aeronautica – stationed with the infamous Circus 66 squadron, executing near-suicidal dead-drops and blistering interception runs through Vesperus’ lethal rat runs.
Plunged back into a world where the smallest of errors means instant death, can Jagdea outfly the enemy aces, secure Interceptor City for the Imperium, and return to solid ground with her sanity intact?
Written by Dan Abnett.
مراجعات العملاء
A niche masterpiece
While the subject matter is a bit down in the weeds in the 40K universe, it’s entirely unnecessary to have read any of the preceding Sabbat Wars titles, or to know anything about Warhammer, to enjoy this book.
The narration is immersive with a Tom Clancy-level of military detail and the action sequences are so well crafted that they capture the chaos of air-to-air combat with the written word. One suspenseful section shows that Dan Abnett should be writing horror as well as military fiction.
Having read hundreds of 40K novels and stories, and most of Abnett’s stuff two times or more, I can say this is the best written work in that universe to date.
