Broken Eagle

William Weston is a senior ranking army officer on a mission. As he cons his way through military and government bureaucracy to have his deployment paperwork signed, no one knows that he has accessed top military secrets, stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Pentagon, and is wanted in eleven states. A short time later, Dr. Weston arrives in Kosovo as the chief of psychiatry in the midst of a brutal war. It has been a long year for the soldiers who have endured attacks propagated by infiltrating Serb units who line the border region near Camp Bondsteel. As Brigadier General Thomas Moore welcomes a new task force that includes Dr. Weston, he has no idea that very soon Weston will undermine his leaders, direct soldiers to disregard orders, and claim he is the commander of the detachment. When his fraudulent credentials are finally exposed, a massive cover-up ensues to protect innocent military and congressional leaders. Now only time will tell if two officers who dare to follow their beliefs and hold true to the army values will pay the price for doing the right thing. In this suspenseful military tale based on a true story, all hell breaks loose in the United States Army leadership ranks during the Kosovo War after a senior medical officer is discovered to be a fraud.

Highlighting a decade of frontier battles, this is an epic novel of the Old West during the brutal Indian Wars. As two irreconcilable forces clash, two characters, Captain John Singletary and Broken Eagle, embody courage and tragedy amid the bloody confrontation of their two peoples.

Blackmailed during a routine vault repair in Rome, Leigh has no choice but to partner with a charming safe cracker and his protective crew. Together, they navigate danger—and unexpected desire—in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.

“[Eagle Voice Remembers] is John Neihardt’s mature and reflective interpretation of the old Sioux way of life. He served as a translator of the Sioux past, whose audience has proved not to be limited by space or time. Through Neihardt’s writings Black Elk, Eagle Elk, and other old men who were of that last generation of Sioux to have participated in the old buffalo-hunting life and the disorienting period of strife with the U.S. Army found a literary voice. What they say chronicles a dramatic transition in the life of the Plains Indians; the record of their thoughts, interpreted by Neihardt, is a legacy preserved for the future. It transcends the specifics of this one tragic case of cultural misunderstanding and conflict and speaks to universal human concerns. It is a story worth contemplating both for itself and for the lessons it teaches all humanity.”—from the introduction by Raymond J. DeMallie In her foreword Coralie Hughes discusses John G. Neihardt’s intention that this book, formerly titled When the Tree Flowered, be understood as a prequel to his classic Black Elk Speaks. In this new edition David C. Posthumus adds clarity through his annotations, introducing Eagle Voice Remembers to a new generation of readers and presenting a fresh understanding for fans of the original.

This book was written to encourage the body of Christ to know that no matter what we face in life we can have the strength like an eagle. Eagles are strong birds, their wings help them glide, protect their young and keep harm away. We too can possess this strength in keeping our minds and hearts focused and believing that with God all things are possible. Just as the Lord provides and protects the fowl of the air so shall He do the same for us.
