War Eagles

By: Debbie Bishop, Carl Macek

Narrated by: William L. Hahn

Inspired by a concept by Merian C. Cooper - the creator of King Kong. Foreword by Ray Harryhausen.

Just prior to the start of WWII a publicly humiliated Army Air Corps test pilot, court-martialed for an unauthorized flight that endangered the life of President Roosevelt, takes the only job he can get - flying an experimental airplane around the world from South to North poles. When his plane is attacked and crashes in the Arctic, he finds himself in an undiscovered land inhabited by a lost tribe of Norsemen who ride giant eagles and, in a surprising turn of events, becomes America's only hope against a devastating sneak attack by the Nazis and their powerful new electromagnetic weapon.

Reminiscent of Golden Age Sci Fi

This audio book reminded me of some of the 40's and 50's era tales, but what it happens to be is an alternative timeline World War II era fun adventure story. Think of a weird mash-up of a screw-up Captain America wanna-be mixed with the Land of the Lost mixed with Avatar where Hitler is the real villain and you might come close. At any rate, it's load of good fun and non stop action. But don't get distracted for a minute or you'll miss something! There are american pilots, Polish spies, Vikings, giant prehistoric eagles and, of course, Nazis! What more could you ask for to while away an afternoon? Our hero even gets the (Viking) girl! Put your feet up an get lost in what might have been.... *I was given a review copy of this audio book at my request in exchange for my honest review*

it's Amelia Earnhart meets WWII

This is not an accurate historical fiction book, but rather an action-packed book set an historical time. I normally listen to my books at a higher speed, however the amount of drama and action in this book I had to slow it down. I like the storyline and the narrator however, the sound effects throughout the book did kind of throw me since I'm not used to that and most audible books. still I would recommend this is a good read

War Eagles

I enjoyed this book!It was like a radio show from the forties!A bit of reality with fiction tossed in.A man is dimissed from the Aircor for crashing a plane.On his way out of this meeting he is hired by a company to fly for them.Of course he saves the world!There is a lot in betwen.Read it. WIlliam L. Hahn was a terrific narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

War Eagles a interesting view into the past.

It was hard to get into but once into several chapters it became very interesting and kept me listening.

Outstanding narration

This isn't a genre I would usually read or listen to, but I was intrigued by the combination of giant eagles, Nazis, air force pilots and Vikings. I had also listened to another audiobook narrated by Will Hahn, and had been impressed by his work there. A good narrator can 'make' an audiobook, and Will's efforts re characterisation, sound effects and layering added dimensions to this novel that I appreciated and enjoyed. I'll admit, I wasn't wowed by the story - in fact I sometimes lost track of what was going on - but the telling of it, its rendering, allowed me to get through this very quickly. A good effort by all, and particular thanks to the narrator!
