When Eagles Burn
Jack Hayes (Jack Hayes, 2015)
This is a fast-paced yet predictable and substantially unbelievable story. The hero of our story is sent with a group of military men on a mission that brings him and his fellow Brits face-to-face with Finns, Germans, and Soviets during the latter years of WWII. The action is brisk and at times suspenseful but the characters are so uninteresting it is difficult to care what happens. The idea itself is intriguing and has the potential to be a great saga, however, Hayes falls short of the ideal. If the characters were further developed and the back-stories elaborated on (combined with the intriguing idea) Hayes could have produced a great book. This is something to read in one sitting while you think to yourself, "I got it on Kindle for free."
