Crest of Eagles - Book Review
By: Lillian Brummet
Jocelyn Howe has an excellent knowledge and
understanding of the writing craft. The author interweaves
multiple, strong, leading characters and two completely
different time frames masterfully. Crest of Eagles reminds
me of some of the great works of Wilbur Smith. This book
certainly ranks with some of the best that I have reviewed to
date and I would not hesitate to give Crest of Eagles the
highest rating available.
Mandhla is taken prisoner by terrorists during an attack of a
mission run by white people with generous hearts for
children who had no one to turn to. Everyone was
mercilessly killed except those who could not be turned into
soldiers or whores.
Peter Kennedy, leader of the top military team, set out to
save the children, but in fouling the job, Peter earned the
revenge of one very mixed-up boy. Kuru joins Peter in the
war against the terrorists with the hope of saving his brother
- never dreaming that when he did meet Mandhla again, it
would be as enemies.
Ancient tribal religion works its way into present day. The
lives of Tcana, a high priestess, and Rebecca, a bombshell
journalist, are connected in some kind of cosmic manor -
though they live centuries apart.
Romance, adventure, suspense, ancient tribal history and
modern day action - this book has it all! Crest of Eagles is
destined to be one of the most dog-eared fiction books in
my collection.
