READ IT BECAUSE
Twenty years after the acclaimed Double Eagle, Dan Abnett returns to the high-stakes world of Aeronautica Imperialis. Witness an elite dogfighter dragged out of her hard-earned “retirement” and thrust back into the deadly chaos of aerial combat.
THE STORY
Once, Bree Jagdea ruled the skies. Now, her days of high-speed dogfights and last-second maneuvers are behind her—at least, that’s what she thought. Resigned to running supply missions, Jagdea has left the battle behind.
But when the war for Vesperus intensifies, the Imperium has no choice but to call on its finest. Stationed with the infamous Circus 66 squadron, Jagdea is thrust into a relentless campaign of high-risk bombing runs, split-second interception missions, and death-defying dogfights through the city’s lethal industrial corridors.
Outnumbered and outgunned, every mission is a gamble. If she can’t outfly the enemy aces and secure Interceptor City, the war may be lost. But as the skies burn, the real question is—can she make it out alive with her sanity intact?
Written by Dan Abnett.
