Reviews

[Martin Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

WHITE EAGLE has a compelling and immersive plotline dealing with hatred and revenge. A fast-paced suspense thriller that takes the reader from the mountainous, eagle-flown regions of Kurdistan, to the beautiful, placid lakes of Cumbria. Paul Anthony displays an unrivalled knowledge of the counter-measures taken by law enforcement to combat the distorted rationale behind radicalism. Very few writers can convincingly achieve this. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative, FIVE-STAR read.
