Eagle in the Sky

De: Wilbur Smith

Narrado por: Byron Mondahl

The Syrian plane disintegrated, evaporating in a gush of silvery smoke, rent through with bright white lightning, and the ejecting pilot's body was blown clear of the fuselage. For an instant it was outlined ahead of David's screen, cruciform in shape with arms and legs thrown wide, the helmet still on the head, and the clothing ballooning in the rush of air.

He chose this life. And it may cost him everything.

From a young age it's clear that David Morgan is 'bird' - a natural pilot, most at home in the air. In the South African Air Force he receives plaudits beyond his years, and even his family begins to accept that David will do anything to stay away from the Morgan billion-dollar business and to keep flying instead.

Following his dream and in pursuit of Debra, a beautiful young Israeli writer, David soon joins the Israeli Defence Force and finds himself caught up in the country's struggles. But when he pays a terrible price for his choices, will he be able to become the man he always hoped - or will he choose to disappear into the skies?

An action-packed thriller from global best seller Wilbur Smith.

Love Wilbur Smith

I love Wilbur Smith, he is a master storyteller. This book was even harsher than most of his. Not for the faint of heart but it did engage me and the characters very real.

Unusual for Wilbur Smith

Difficult to stop listening. Love story, yes. Exciting and beautiful. Nothing like his usual Reccomend absolutely

One of the best he wrote

This might be the finest book of he wrote. This is a magnificently written story and performance.

Multiple Dimensional

I have read several Wilbur Smith Books. They are all exciting and interesting but this is quite different in that he weaves Adventure, Danger, as well as a moving love story into one very entertaining novel. A real "thumbs up book."

Another captivating story

Wilbur Smith never ceases to sweep you away into his world with such detail and emotion. Great listen !

Heart-rending suspenseful story. well-performed

As always Wilbur Smith novels are extremely suspenseful this one was very well performed where's the reader kept me on the edge of my seat. I Look forward to listening to more novels as performed by this reader

Terrifying and Hypnotic

I have long been an avid reader of Wilbur Smith books. they are always entertaining and enlightening The above title reflects 80 combat flying missions in the Viet Nam war, and 35 years as a board certified neurological surgeon. I almost quit the audiobook at the flaming plane crash. This awakened many repressed and painful wartime memories. The skill of the author and the reader kept pulling me back. Another Wilbur Smith Success.

Three stories in one!

Very good character development. Clever twists that pull on you emotionally. When you think the story is drawing to a close, stay buckled in, the ride isn’t over.

Spectacular Book

I have read many of Wilbur Smith’s books and I’ve loved them all! His characters are larger than life and his action sequences are breathtaking in their stark realism and imagery!

May be my favorite

Although I enjoy all of Wilbur Smith's books, this may be my favorite. in addition to the customary action packed scenes, Smith shares immersive visions of Africa.
