“İnsan aslında hiçbir büyük acısını unutmaz, unutamaz. Bazı acılar öylesine derin ve güçlüdür ki, dayanılmaz ıstırabından kurtulabilmenin tek bir yolu vardır; o da değişmek, dönüşmek ve bir başkası olmaktır. Fakat ne yazık ki kurtulduğunu sandığı acısıyla birlikte, insan kendisinden büyük bir parçayı da geride bırakır; sevmek, umutlanmak, çocuksu düşler ve koşulsuz güvenmek, yani kıymetli ne varsa, ışıktan bir elbise gibi geçmişin griliğinde solar gider. Yine de acı kişiyi ne kadar değiştirirse değiştirsin, yüreği kavuran onca yangından kaçmak için insan ne kadar uğraşırsa uğraşsın, bu elim süreçten sonra içinde kendine ait fakat bir o kadar da yabancı fikirler ve duygular taşımaya başlar. Artık sen olmayan bir başka senin o ağır anıları, üzeri çiçek tutmaz kuru bir mezardan ibarettir. Yüreğinde bir yerleri gölgesiyle kirletir, bazen olmadık zamanlarda sızlar ve eski, çok eski bir ızdırabın sisleriyle doldurur ufkunu. Büyük acılar insanı değiştirir ve dönüştürür fakat asla peşinden ayrılmaz.”
― Kemal Sinan Özmen, Göklerden Gelen Umut

“We who remember the time before were forced into submission. We have nothing left of us. We remember when it was revered to be your own star. To make something of yourself, to achieve.

― Maria P Frino, Xenure Station: A Billion Light Years

“What people are saying about WAR EAGLES
​5 out of 5 stars!

WW2 with a dash of fantasy!
I really enjoyed stepping back in time as the race for air travel was developing. One could truly feel the passion these pilots and engineers had for these magnificent machines. The twist of stepping back into a land of Vikings and dinosaurs was very well executed.

Well done to both the author and the narrator.

Reminiscent of Golden Age Sci Fi
This audio book reminded me of some of the 40's and 50's era tales, but what it happens to be is an alternative timeline World War II era fun adventure story. Think of a weird mash-up of a screw-up Captain America wanna-be mixed with the Land of the Lost mixed with Avatar where Hitler is the real villain and you might come close. At any rate, it's load of good fun and non stop action. But don't get distracted for a minute or you'll miss something! There are american pilots, Polish spies, Vikings, giant prehistoric eagles and, of course, Nazis! What more could you ask for to while away an afternoon? Our hero even gets the (Viking) girl! Put your feet up an get lost in what might have been....

4 out of 5 stars!

it's Amelia Earnhart meets WWII
This is not an accurate historical fiction book, but rather an action-packed book set an historical time. I normally listen to my books at a higher speed, however the amount of drama and action in this book I had to slow it down. I like the storyline and the narrator however, the sound effects throughout the book did kind of throw me since I'm not used to that and most audible books. still I would recommend this is a good read.​

5 out of 5 stars!

I Would Like to See this on the Silver Screen
Back in the late 1930s, the director of King Kong started planning War Eagles as his next block buster film. Then World War II intervened and the project languished for decades. It helps to know this background to fully appreciate this novel. It’s a big cinematic adventure waiting to find the screen. The heroes are larger than life, but more importantly, the images are bigger and more vivid than the mighty King Kong who reinvented the silver screen. And what are those images you may ask? Nazis developing super-science weapons for a sneak attack on America, Viking warriors riding gargantuan eagles in a time-forgotten land of dinosaurs, and of course, those same Vikings fighting Nazis over the skyline of New York City.

This book is a heck of a lot of fun. It starts a little bit slow but once the Vikings enter the story it chugs along at a heroic pace. There is a ton of action and colorful confrontations. Narrator William L. Hahn pulls out all the stops adding theatrical sound effects to his wide repertoire of voices which adds a completely appropriate cinematic feel to the entire story. If you’re looking for some genuinely heroic fantasy, you should try War Eagles.

Wonderful story
War Eagles is a really good adventure story.

​5 out of 5 stars!”
