Eagle Reviews

This series is one of the best of the Vietnam action/adventure genre. Although some of the men do seem super human, Black Eagles is distinguished for the fact that some of the good guys die during the course of each book. And lest the reader grow complacent, this time they lose a charter member of the squad. The Eagles are trying to stop a spy ring that is sending information on them to the Russian KGB. Instead of having the haven of their usual jungle battlefield, the squad is stuck in the streets of Saigon trying to rescue their female agent from the enemy.

This book does very well in continuing the saga of Jamie Ian McCallister. It follows Jamie on his path of revenge and commitment. I would have to say that this book #4 in the series of 6 brings to life the west and a special moment in American History namely speaking the...never mind if you want to know what I am talking about I would reccomend that you get the book because it is well worth it.

The Sceaming Eagles is about the 101st Airborne Division.The 101st landed before,they had many causalties,but not as bad as D-Day.D-Day was became the most chaotic when most of the supplies and men where lost and scarrted.

What a great continuance of the journey of this priest, learning of native american spirituality. This text takes us down the intriguing paths of divine circumstance. The medicine man, Flying Eagle sends this priest, Screaming Hawk to places he once had not chosen to go and learn deeply about his own spirituality. Becoming a warrior is much different than he had imagined. There are so many parallels to Christianity. This book is a must for those who search outside themselves for meaning. Meaning is nearer than you may think.

I always look forward to the next issue in this on-going series, the best i have seen since the Bryan Philpott series of 20 years ago with the same format, keep up the good work.However the latest issue does have a number of captioning errors. P6. Blohm und Voss 138-twin engined-NO. P14. Arado 196 is captioned He 115. P26. Ju 290 is captioned FW 200. P30. B&V 222 is captioned B&V 322. P52 & P53. FW 200 is captioned Ju 88. P63. Dornier 24 is captioned Do 27. This does not diminish my enthusiasm for this series. Indeed i would purchase them just for the illustrations but PLEASE can someone CHECK the captions in future. As i am particularly interested in the Luftwaffe i hope this series continues for many years to come!

Set in 1814 after Napoleon has abdicated as Emperor of the French, Richard Woodman's, The Shadow Of The Eagle, is a superbly written historical novel filled with intrigue and ruthless politics , from the Russian Tsar's delusions of grandeur to the naval forces of Great Britain pressing relentless war against America. A single man, Captain Nathaniel Drinkwater attending King Louis, learns of a deadly threat to peace that he must personally risk life and limb to combat. The Shadow Of The Eagle is a very compelling, entertaining, action/adventure read from first page to last.

The story of a young Plains Indian who traveled to Europe in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Rodeo, this book is extraordinary and moving. The story is fun, but it is the illustrations that bring this book to the level of genuine art: the pictures are completely magical. This book transformed my day after reading it: I felt renewed by it's beauty and innocence.

This book was republished by Capt Robert Papp who was my son's roommate at the Coast Guard Academy. Capt Papp is presently captain of "The Eagle." I was a B-17 pilot in the 8th air force in WW 2 and am familiar with the pounding that the Bremerhaven shipyards received. It is remarkable that the "Horst Wessel" (re-named "Eagle) even survived the war. Gordon McGowan's Coast Guard training gave him the tenacity necessary to refit the ship while locating material and supplies in war torn Germany. Even though he was an able sailor, his trip across the Atlantic in a different type ship was probably what we would call today, "on the job training." I highly reccomend this book to everyone whether nautically inclined or not. Lawrence House

Brian Archibald, died in 1995 at age 43, following a battle with cancer. "Sky Dancer" was written by his wife, Judy Archibald, celebrating his life and reliving their last 6 months together. The book includes photographs of Brian and his artwork (Brian was a talented wildlife sculptor). The book also features numerous selections from Brian's personal diary during his illness.

This is an unusual book, as most books about cancer talk about how to beat it. There are few stories out there about the realities of dealing with death. This book includes frank discussions of today's medical system and about the difficult road to making peace with death. It is also a loving tribute to a wonderful human being.

This is one of the most exciting adventure books I've ever read. It grabs you on page 1 and holds you right to the end. I can hardly wait for part 2 of the trilogy to be released. If you like movies like Indiana Jones, Jumangi, and Jurassic Park, you'll LOVE The Snow Eagle! In fact, this would make a fantastic movie.
