סודו של העיט
מה גרם למטוס העיט של עידו ברנע, טייס קרב בחיל האוויר, להשתולל באמצע טיסת לילה שגרתית בנגב? מי שיבץ את עידו לטיסה הגורלית ומדוע?
מי חטף את הילדה מישל גארד בלבה של בריסל, בדיוק ברגע שעידו מאבד את השליטה על מטוסו?
מה מקורו של המידע הסודי המחשיד את עידו בבגידה, מידע אשר הביא את סוכנת המוסד, נעמה שרון, לדלוק בעקבותיו?
סודו של העיט הוא רומן מתח קצבי ומקורי. סיפורו של מרדף מסחרר ורב־תהפוכות, שבו נאבק עידו ברנע על חייו ועל כבודו. מרדף שבמהלכו נתקלים הטייס והסוכנת שבעקבותיו בסוחרי נשק חסרי עכבות, בטרוריסטים ציניים ובקציני צבא מושחתים, ומגלים כי מאחורי שתי התעלומות — התרסקות מטוסו של עידו וחטיפתה של מישל — מסתתר פשע נורא בהרבה.
האם יצליחו לסכל אותו?
בסגנונו המרתק מוביל ארז אהרוני את הקורא במהירות של מטוס קרב אל מסלול רב־תפניות, סוחף ועוצר נשימה.
ארז אהרוני, עורך דין, שירת כטייס בחיל האוויר.
ספרו הראשון, "חצי שפם", ראה אור בשנת 2006.

The Eagle's Secret is a military thriller full of excitement, speeding planes, crime, killers, and kidnappings that will keep the reader on edge. The protagonist, Ido Barnea, is a pilot who nearly dies in a plane that goes out of control. He knows planes and that something has been tampered with in the plane that crashes after he ejects. He is determined to find out who and what endangered his life. He meets a woman, Naama, who plays an important role in saving his life on more than one occasion. Who is she and what part does she play in this mystery of the plane crash?
This was an enjoyable book 1 read of a series. The author uses his expertise as a pilot himself to color the story with exciting detail.

I bought this book as my “train read”. The cover alone had me salivating to jump into this book.

Fast paced and cleverly written to keep you on the edge of your seat- the author delivers a knock out punch with this first rate read.

רומן מתח ישראלי בסגנון 'אהבה בשחקים'.
כבר בעמ' 11 אנחנו נכנסים לנקודת מגע אקטואלית עם המציאות. עידו ברנע הטייס חש לא בנוח עם המטרות המבצעיות ומבקש להפסיק לטוס אחרי שהושקעו בו משאבים רבים. הוא מורד, אולי כעונש איפוס, לטייסת ישנה ופחות מבצעית של מטוסי סקייהוק הידועים בכינויים 'עיט'.
חושב לצאת לשנת לימודים, בינתיים טס על הגרוטאה כי: "טיסה זה לא רכיבה על אופניים. אי אפשר לעשות הפסקה ארוכה ואח"כ להיכנס לתא הטייס כאילו כלום."
על מי מנוחות כשהוא שקוע במחשבותיו ובחינת 'יחסינו לאן', משייט בשמי הדרום ברוגע כשמטוס העייט הזקן מחליט לבגוד בו וכאילו מקבל חיים משל עצמו מה שמאלץ את ברנע לנטוש.
האם הוא בטיסתו הרשלנית גרם להתרסקות? ואם כן, מדוע מרגיש לו כאילו הוא מטרה לסיכול ממוקד?
מכאן מיודענו יוצא למסע 'אדם בעקבות מטוסו' לנקות את שמו. ואין רגע דל, אף שהחלטותיו לעיתים פזיזות ותמוהות הקצב הוא טוב ועל אף המופרכות חווית הקריאה מהנה למדי.
ערך אמנון ז'קונט, מי שערך לאורי אדלמן את הספרים אם זכור לי נכון. וככזה שומר על הקו המהנה של 'משוואה עם נעלם'.
אקשן ישראלי קליל ומהנה.
4/5 בסולם מאני
מומלץ!

Excellent must read if you like page turning suspense
What do a crashed Israeli Air Force jet pilot and a young Mossad officer have in common? Lots suspense. More than you think. Seems Mossad thinks the crash was deliberate and sabotaged and are following the pilot. Then there's the young child that is kidnapped by the bad guys to bribe a corrupt manufacturing CEO's who is peodphile and likes little girls.
Lots action and bodies turning up murdered.

Spine tingling
So very intense, I was always on the edge of my seat. Just when you think everything is ok, something new jumps in!

What a fun read. Very superficial, but easy to read with lots of action, formulaic of course, but a feel-good type of thriller. A solid adventure book good for beaches, train rides, and rainy days.

Ерез Ахарони е един от най-видните израелски адвокати в областта на търговското право, съдебните дела и недвижимите имоти. Бил е пилот в израелските военновъздушни сили през 1978 г. и е участвал в разнообразни полети и мисии, включително свързани с имиграцията на евреите от Етиопия. Страстта му към литературата го съпровожда още от най-ранна възраст. Дебютният му роман се нарича „Half a Moustache”, излиза през 2006 г. и постига завиден успех. Три години след това се появява военният трилър „Тайната на Орела”.
Интригата тук е ще успеят ли терористите да поемат контрол върху израелските изтребители и да унищожат Израел. Изкупителната жертва се казва Идо Барнеа, той е най-новият пилот в ескадрилата. Считат го за своенравен интроверт със състезателен дух, творческо мислене и склонност към морални дебати. От първия му ден в армията са минали над шест години и компромисите със съвестта му идват в повече. И е то че напуска ескадрилата от изтребители F-16, наречена „Рицарите на оранжевата опашка“, защото не иска да изпълнява бойни мисии.
В очакване на разрешително за отпуск, Идо управлява самолет с прозвище Орел, скайхоук ветеран, който никога не е причинявал неприятности. Изстрелва светлинни ракети в пустинята Негев. По време на един нощен полет иначе надеждният изтребител го предава, Идо е принуден да катапултира и оцелява като по чудо, а машината се разбива в покрайнините на Беер Шева.
Цяло ято герои се втурва по следите на Барнеа, всеки със собствен мотив. По същото време в Брюксел е отвлечено малолетно момиче на име Мишел. Възможно ли е да има връзка между двете събития? В роман на Ерез Ахарони всичко е възможно - броят на „лошите” расте със скоростта на светлината, броят на невинните жертви също. Първо се оказва, че един бедуин е тежко ранен вследствие от катастрофата в пустинята. После умира фотограф, приятел на семейството на Идо. Един от механиците го светва, че преди фаталния полет в самолета е направена някаква нелегална модификация, а на негово място всъщност е трябвало да лети някой друг. Появява се и тайнствена красавица на име Наама Шарон, която по-късно се оказва разузнавачка от „Мосад”. Гледните точки се редуват, което допринася за динамиката на сюжета.
Сега целият свят търсеше Идо, а тя не можеше да помогне с нищо. Беше по-добре да се съсредоточи върху задачата да открие кой работи с него. Опита се да насочи мислите си в правилната посока, но въпросите продължаваха да я измъчват. Дали Ярив Сиди наистина беше убит от Идо Барнеа? И ако да – защо? Кой беше изпратил на Идо толкова много пари? И за какво? Дали информацията на Кох е достатъчно точна, за да открие истината? И какво всъщност щеше да прави тя в Белгия с това име и адреса? Толкова много въпроси - толкова малко отговори.
Дали Барнеа ще изпревари змията, опитала се да унищожи ръководството на Военновъздушните сили, както и него самия? Способен ли е Барнеа на хладнокръвно, садистично убийство? В състояние ли е един опитен пилот да неутрализира смъртоносна компютърна програма с едно преобръщане във въздуха? Може би, особено ако летенето е онова, което му се удава най-добре.

This was an enjoyable thriller that moved along at a good pace. Whilst it could be described as formulaic – standard premise of unjustly accused hero who battles against the odds who falls in love with the main protagonist sent to capture him as he strives to clear his name and save the day - it is none the worst for this.
I liked the main characters even if some of actions carried out by them were in the ‘unbelievable’ end of the spectrum. The action scenes were well done and there was just enough detail about Mayor ‘vice’ for the reader to understand why he was being blackmailed the author did not descend to unnecessary descriptions which would not have added to the novel.
For me I am always trying to think ‘would I read this author again?’ and here I am undecided. There was nothing in it that makes me want to rush out and read other one of his books, but at the same time I wouldn’t refuse the opportunity to do so if it came it about

Another great book from a brilliant mind! I have read other books from this author and have been greatly impressed by the unique writing and excellent plots. Once again, Erez Aharoni brings us a book that is more difficult to put down than the last. If you haven't read the any of the other books by this author, I would suggest to check out "Half a Moustache" "The Eagle's Secret" and "Wildfire".
This man has some excellent international experience and it really shows in his writing. The characters really come to life. I love mystery and thrillers, this book brings those two genres together and makes you think you are in the story.
Kidnapping is always a fear in the back of our minds as parents. Reading about kidnapping just hits home, it really makes you have feelings for these characters. Excellent read!

Уникална! Екшън на макс. Петиците при различните книги са различни. Страхотен екшън, постоянни обрати, държаща вниманието и се чете наистина за часове. Стегната, добър стил, липса на графоманщина, добри диалози. Допадна ми много :)

The technical/military background made this thriller especially rewarding, and the romance is cute too.
Perfect reading for the beach--reader discretion before reading it on an airplace.
