Two decades after the acclaimed Double Eagle, Dan Abnett returns to the Aeronautica Imperialis for a long-awaited follow-up. Join an ace dogfighter as she’s thrust back into the chaos of high-speed aerial warfare, battling for survival in a relentless warzone.
THE STORY

Bree Jagdea once lived for the thrill of the dogfight, but those days are behind her. Now, she’s content running supply drops for the war effort, far from the lethal battlefront.

That peace shatters when enemy forces unleash a devastating bombing campaign on Vesperus, forcing her back into the Aeronautica. Reassigned to the infamous Circus 66 squadron, Jagdea is thrust into the heart of the conflict—flying perilous interception runs and executing near-impossible dead-drops through the hive’s treacherous underbelly.

Every mission is a gamble, where the smallest miscalculation means instant death. As the war rages and tensions rise, Jagdea must outmaneuver enemy aces, reclaim Interceptor City, and somehow make it back to solid ground—before the war takes everything.
