READ IT BECAUSE

This novel offers insight into some of the lesser-known, but no less important, aspects of the Imperial war machine – the agents who move in the shadows to rouse and inspire the masses of soldiers across every branch of the war effort.

THE STORY

Flight Commander Lucille von Shard: Hero of Bacchus, fighter ace, and a living legend heralded for her valour and piety. Propagandist Kile Simlex, responsible for her fame, shares none of this renown. Condemned to the ignominy of a scribe’s cubicle cell, his chance at liberation comes as a cryptic vid message claiming to be from Shard herself, requesting his aid.

Under the von Shard family’s patronage, Simlex journeys to Deighton, a world in open rebellion from the Imperium, where he finds the commander a shadow of her former self. Near broken by eternal war, her confidence and reputation crumbling, Shard must somehow steel herself for her deadliest battle yet, against a xenos mercenary of unparalleled skill. Can Simlex help her overcome this near-invincible enemy, or merely watch as she is finally defeated?

Written by Denny Flowers.

From the Community:

The legend of Imperial fighter ace Lucille Von Shard continues in Above and Beyond by Denny Flowers, as the long-suffering scribe Kile Simlex travels to the world of Deighton only to find the subject of his previous propagandising a shadow of her former self. Haunted by a life of endless war and with a seemingly invincible xenos mercenary dominating the skies, Lucille summons Kile for a last-ditch attempt to regain her fighting spirit, lest her legend end in the fires of a world lost to rebellion.
