Summary
Short-listed, David Gemmell Legend Award, 2014
War Master’s Gate is the ninth book in the critically acclaimed epic fantasy series Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
A city makes its last stand....
The Empire’s mighty imperial armies are marching on Collegium once more. They’ve learnt from past failures and this time their Empress will brook no weakness. Stenwold Maker’s aviators still dominate the skies, but their rule will soon be over. For the Empire has developed a terrifying aerial weapon to level the battlefield.
Yet victory may be decided elsewhere. In an ancient forest, where Mantis clans pursue their own civil war, Empress Seda is seeking a lost power from the old world. Cheerwell Maker knows she must stop her rival at any cost, but their conflict could awaken something far deadlier. Something that would make even their clash of nations pale into insignificance.
War Master’s Gate is followed by the tenth and final book in the Shadows of the Apt series, Seal of the Worm.

Easily the darkest of the series.
Absolutely brilliant . I previously thought that The Air War was the strongest in the series but this is its equal. The other books had more than a dash of humour in them but there’s not much room for that here as the storyline is grim, grim, grim. Grisly but gripping. And as I always say, brilliant narration and sound design which many other books could learn from.

Great continuation
Excellent narration, as always. The story is enthralling, and pretty bleak. A great set up for what I hope will be a thrilling conclusion in the final book.

a brutal and brilliant listen
An absolute barnstormer of a book, Ben Allen brings Tchaikovsky's words to life! I cannot begin to recommend this book and this series enough!

Another fine instalment….on to the finale!
Loved this book! As always massive props go to the narrator who is a weapons master grade expert of his craft! This story just goes from peak to peak and I cant wait to drive in to the finale, so I won’t……(pressing play on seal of the worm..)
