Kindle Kobo Kindle Kobo Kindle Kobo Reviews Dianna Martin June10 2015 "This book is packed with non stop action and the depth of the plot is intense. Country against country and the battles are raw, graphic and accurately portrayed. Andreas is a strong and fearless character that compels the reader to keep turning pages. His courage and loyalty seem endless and his intelligence keeps many alive. Facing one conflict after the next, he never waivers, leading his troops to victory. The other characters are rich in personality and make the story intense. Family values are mainstay and trust becomes a test of judgments. The twists and turns bring mystery and the unexpected events left me breathless. I love books that keep you guessing and this one certainly did. And the romance included simply made it a complete and utterly delight to red. The attention to detailing is awe inspiring and so clear. I could hear the shots, feel the adrenalin, smell the carnage and taste the dirt. It is one of the most descriptive books I have read. It is a fairly long book, but it is gripping and before you know it, you have reached the end. Extremely well written and easy to read and stay with. It has an impeccable flow and was a wonderful and engaging read. The imagination of the author is one of the best I encountered and I can not wait to see more. The passion for writing is amazing and made this one of the best additions to my library. I recommend it to all, it is outstanding" Trish FL Reader Excellent historical fiction June 14 2015 "I really enjoy historical fiction when it is done right. This isn't an easy genre to write as it takes a great deal of research to get facts straight, stick to proper timelines, and put the right people in the right places. Add to this the ability to create an enticing fictional tale in the midst of a historically accurate setting, and it's a challenge. There are a handful of writers that can do this effectively and I have to say that I really enjoyed author RP Wolbaum's contribution to the mix with "Bears and Eagles". A story set in late 19th century Europe and one that gives a wonderful inside look at the Cossacks, among other things. "Bears and Eagles" is the story of Andreas, who has long dreamt of being a Cossack and is at last invited to join the regiment. As the regiment becomes involved in conflicts, Andreas' leadership skills are tested and the most interesting aspects of the story were how the conflicts amongst the allies were handled. It seemed that there were just as many intense skirmishes within the allied camp as on the battlefield. There is an awesome amount of intrigue in this story as the stakes are raised at various crossroads and loyalties are tested. Andreas also meets his love, Elizabeth, on the course of this journey. This was a very well-written and fascinating story that gave me a look into another time. The characters were all well developed and I'd be very interested in reading future works from this author." E. A. Grey An entertaining novel filled with exciting scenes and a hero worthy of the cinema June 8 2015 "Due to my love of historically based novels, I purchased this one recently due to its intriguing premise. From the beginning, I noticed the erudite and fluid writing style of the author. His dialog and descriptions sparked the story to life almost immediately as I read about how Andreas faced down his adversary. The actions scenes were very succinct and dense, making them seem so real without overwrought descriptions bogging them down. I love how this book can display an array of thought at an economy of words. From the initial battle sequence, Andreas is exposed to one skirmish after another, attaining rank, accolades, and even finding the love of his life along the way. Without giving up too much of the story, the plot progression was perfect. I was enthralled by the situations and people that he was exposed to as he moved through the ranks. He experienced a myriad amount of officials and royalty, and discovered a means to achieve his goals due to a loophole that was perfect for bringing a stellar catharsis to the novel. I, for one, was highly impressed with this novel, enjoying it throughout. Now, I can’t wait to read what comes next from this talented author. " Arky June 11 2015 "I decided to download and read this book because it is different than anything that I have ever read before. Just the cover alone stood out to me and made me want to read this amazing book. The book is full of action and never held back. Every page had adventure and something exciting happening, so this was a hard book for me to put down. There are battles in this book that portray country against country, where they are going head to head, never giving up. I found that the battles were exciting and they were accurately portrayed. Andreas is the main character and he is one that you just got to love. He is fearless and never gives up. He has a huge heart and you can tell that his troops mean the world to him. Through the battles, he is very dedicated and smart in his pursuit. I enjoyed watching him go through the battles and never giving up on the struggle. He kept the troops motivated and excited for the next battle. The action in this book was enough to keep me interested, but there was also a budding romance that kept me tuned in. The romance was lovely and unfolded in a beautiful way. I liked how the author put a little bit of everything into this book. There's action, romance, family and everything that you would ever need to build an amazing story full of fight. This is an author that I would love to read more from and am very interested in!" |
