For this episode, we’re reading Vagabond Squadron by Robbie MacNiven. You can purchase it at Amazon, the Black Library, and Audible.
From the back of the book:
Valkyrie pilots are among the finest aviators in the Imperium, and few more so than Vagabond Squadron, the elite of the 901st Tactical Wing. Hard flying, hard fighting, and defiance in the face of all odds are trademarks of the Vagabond. But their latest deployment – against the overwhelming might of the ork invasion of Kanai Tertius – will test them like never before.
The integration of a new, fledgling aviator, divisions among high command, and the rising threat of xenos air superiority mean the Vagabonds now face their most desperate mission yet, its full details known only to squadron leader Cassandra Elza. The fate of the planet-spanning campaign to hold the line on Kanai Tertius will be decided by the skill, daring and dedication of Vagabond Squadron. But this time, not all of them will be coming home.
