About this listen
The Syrian plane disintegrated, evaporating in a gush of silvery smoke, rent through with bright white lightning, and the ejecting pilot's body was blown clear of the fuselage. For an instant it was outlined ahead of David's screen, cruciform in shape with arms and legs thrown wide, the helmet still on the head, and the clothing ballooning in the rush of air.
He chose this life. And it may cost him everything.
From a young age it's clear that David Morgan is 'bird' - a natural pilot, most at home in the air. In the South African Air Force he receives plaudits beyond his years, and even his family begins to accept that David will do anything to stay away from the Morgan billion-dollar business and to keep flying instead.
Following his dream and in pursuit of Debra, a beautiful young Israeli writer, David soon joins the Israeli Defence Force and finds himself caught up in the country's struggles. But when he pays a terrible price for his choices, will he be able to become the man he always hoped - or will he choose to disappear into the skies?
An action-packed thriller from global best seller Wilbur Smith.

Fair to average
A Predictable story as you progress on, seems that you know exactly what's going to happen next.
Definitely Non fiction
I thought it would be better

Every bit as good as I remember
After reading (or devouring) Wilbur Smith books some 40 years ago, and loving every one of them, Eagle in the Sky was the one that for some reason sat uppermost in my mind.
Having listened to it again on audible after all this time, I know why. Superbly written, and simply a magnificent story, beautifully told. You cannot help but feel you are there not only seeing the wonderful landscapes, but also feeling the deep emotions as the story grows.
Timeless.
