Interceptor City

Warhammer 40,000 Series

By: Dan Abnett

Narrated by: Toby Longworth

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?

Highly entertaining

Good story, good characters and excellent narrator. Recommended if you're looking for high paced action, human characters, excellent setting and a story that made me feel for the characters.

Dan Abnett Triumphs Again

It's hard to place exactly what makes this book so good because it really incorporates so many elements together in a neat package. The pacing keeps you listening, the fidelity to the technical details of the "vector aircraft" is believable and well thought out, of course the action sequences are extremely intense as you might expect from his previous title 'Double Eagle', overall I think the characters might be the strongest point in this. Abnett writes a whole cast of very unique and endearing characters to flesh out the "Circus 66" airbase. Several of the characters have a lot of depth and are still in my thoughts after completing the book. Overall, if you like high octane aerial battles with complex characters in an elaborately designed and fleshed out SciFi world, you'll love Interceptor City.
