Took me a bit of time to get into the story. The Australian terms and geography were all new. Military veteran Nathan Masters is charged with transporting a "gifted" young girl, Angel, across a large section of Australia, but they're being pursued by an alien culture and their recruits determined to make sure it doesn't happen. When Angel is captured, the action gets even more furious, with Nathan often take matters into his own hands. In this case it's all about the journeys... Nathan and Angel and Nathan's own personal demons and growth.

Eagle Shield is a gripping and deep read. Several times I had to come up for air, my mind blown by the plot twists .
Carl Lakeland clearly is very knowledgeable in this area, the details are on point. Making this an even more engaging read.
A book you really have to get your head into and then cant get out of!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Sucker, I am a veteran and still a sucker for the solider and child angle. I loved the great action but this book has a few good emotional tugs too. This book was great! NO WAY #2 is as good!

P.S. I am ordering project Amber (#2) :)
