About this listen
A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook
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.
LISTEN TO 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?

Masterful and worth the wait.
Back in the early 2000s I owned a Baltic blue Porsche 944, which I kinda thought looked a little like the Thunderbolts in 'Double Eagle'.
20 years on, the Porsche is long gone, but the thrills of the original book are re-ignited and on full afterburn for this follow up.
Superbly paced, with a satisfying climax, and Dan's knack of creating characters - both main and minor - that fill the environment he puts them in, in far fewer words than seems possible,
All delivered impeccably by Toby Longworth. Once again.

A great sequel to Double Eagle
Great Author, amazing performance from Tony Longworth and a fitting sequel, and very glad to hear Dan wants to write a third. The Sabbat worlds crusade, continues to be one of the greatest settings in 40k, Dans attention to detail always and realism gives a reader or listener so much immersion.

20 years gap and still just as good as Double Eagle
What a damn good book. I almost wish there were more aeronautical books… or more books read by Toby Longworth

Superb
Excellent follow up to Double Eagle. Absolutely fantastic. Abnett needs to do another sequel. The Aeronautica Remembers. Splash 1.

Dan Abnett knocks it out of the park yet again
The callback and repetition of themes throughout adds a lot of grounding to story and elevates it above the usual 40k fare

Solid on it's own, benefits from the wider oeuvre
This is a good follow-up to Double Eagle, and it's probably stronger than that novel. But it isn't quite up to the better Gaunt stories, because it doesn't have as fleshed out a cast, or as interesting an objective, end point or impact as in some of those.
It's strong for a 40K novel, if I had to give it a numerical score on that basis, it'd be a strong 8.
But for a Dan Abnett novel, it's pretty middle of the road, closer to 6 or 7 by the standards of his other work.
It's nice to visit a long-time side character though, and that she's very different in a very believable way from when we last encountered her, is testament to Abnett's grasp of his character's, the places he puts them, and the larger weave that he's always working on,
He's managed to make the air action coherent and compelling, which is always impressive. The new characters are just pretty good , at least in my view, and that's based on having read most of Abnett's books. At this point, the archetypes are bit too obvious for me. They're still well written, but I've seen them a half dozen times before, and so have you if you've been keeping up.
The biggest criticism I have for this story is that there isn't really a goal or objective for the main character, or anyone. It's the middle of a war of attrition, which is fine, but nobodies particularly interested in changing that in this story. Everything goes along quite procedurally, then a b-plot established in the prologue starts coming up a little over half way through, and is then resolved without much fanfare or interest (at least from me) in the close.
And our main characters opinion changes, but she, herself, doesn't really. It feels like a bit of a side story as is, solid for an episode, but it's not gonna be anyone's favorite.
Despite my criticism I think there's enough flesh on these bones for more stories from these characters, and in this warzone. And I expect that if Abnett goes on to write more stories in this space, my opinion on this book will soften, and grow fonder, because as a series Pilot, it's pretty good!
If you like any of Dan Abnett's other books, you'll have great fun with this and you already know that Toby Longworth reading it is gonna be a great time.
If you've not gone through any of his books though, or only the Horus Heresy ones, I wouldn't suggest starting here, because it's sort of a legacy-sequel to Double Eagle, and it does take place after a lot of events from the Gaunt's Ghosts series.

Nice to see the genre visited again
Some interesting ideas on how to get the story back to dog fights in a very 40k way.
A number chekhov's gun to clock on they way, so keep score.
Another good outing in the Sabbat crusade sandbox and look forward to the next!
