Summary
The Air War is the eighth book in the critically acclaimed epic fantasy series Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
An empress demands her birthright....
All is in turmoil as the world moves towards war. In Solarno, spies eye one another and ready their knives – while the people of Myna watch troops gather at its borders. Emotions run high as old fears reawaken. And in Collegium students argue politics, too late to turn the tide.
At the heart of the Empire, new pilots complete their secretive training, generals are recalled to service and armies are readied to march. Their Empress, heir to two worlds, intends to claim her birthright. For nothing – either within the Empire or beyond it – will stand in her way.
The Air War is followed by the ninth book in the Shadows of the Apt series, War Master’s Gate.

Ben Allen narration simply outstanding as always.
Love the narration. Fantastic choices for pacing, accent, emphasis.
As for the book itself, very enjoyable. Tchaikovsky almost never misses. Keen to see how he starts closing off the series.

The best so far in my opinion.
Has definite WW2 feel to it. Also the internal machinations of the Imperial Court are riveting and definitely the best part of the series. The same peerless narration and sound design round off an audiobook masterclass. Loved it!

Excellent, as always
I have loved everything Adrian Tchaikovsky has published. I'd have his babies, if it were possible.
