About the author
Stéphanie Cousté
3 books1 followerI’m a French passionate creator, 80% self-taught. My first career was as a professional rider, driven by my love for nature, animals, and sports. A serious riding accident changed the course of my life and led me to my second passions: images and storytelling, which opened the doors to cinema.
Over the years, I explored nearly every aspect of film creation — from set design to camera work to animation — building a broad vision of visual narration. This eclectic journey naturally led me to writing and to my lifelong project: E.A.G.L.E.
First imagined as a feature screenplay in 1998, then adapted into a novel in 2016, both works have now been translated into English and updated to resonate with today’s world.
E.A.G.L.E. is a visually powerful story about resilience, the unbreakable bond between Human, Animal, and Nature, and the courage to always rise again — a reflection of my deepest values.
My little reading tip :) If you read this book, imagine the role of "Jack" played by Robert Redford, at the age he was in "The Horse Whisperer" ;-)

E.A.G.L.E is a well-written novel that dares being more than just an action spectacle. The writer is building suspense by letting the reader get to know Eagle, Reg and the mysterious Jack and their personalities before shifting the pace in the second half of the novel. The writing is enjoyable and the author is managing to keep the attention high even when exploring human nature and the more complex side of relationships.
While the dialogue is building a unique voice for every charcter, there could be a bit more to build upon the subtext. But this is only a minor criticism, since the structure of the novel is building suspense right until the end and the elegant prose allows the story to move forward and make the read effortless. E.A.G.L.E feels like a screenplay novelization, which is its strength, not downfall. And while it is sometimes testing the limits of suspension of disbelief, the author, Stéphanie Cousté, manages the balance between character development, plausibility and action with impressive skill. Eagle's connection to horses and the eagle watching over her and the peaceful episodes spent on Reg's rural farm outside of Washington D.C. give the reader a close and almost intimate look on her true character.
For anyone enjoying an adventurous read with strong and humane characters at its core, E.A.G.L.E is a great novel to enjoy instead of watching a Hollywood blockbuster.
