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.
