Quote by Shane VanAulen

“There has to be a balance of danger and safety as a leader. To risk oneself foolishly endangers everyone you lead, but to lead from complete safety undermines your command’s authority and troop morale.” Shane Van Aulen - Star Wolves 2023”

“What people are saying about WAR EAGLES ​5 out of 5 stars! WW2 with a dash of fantasy! I really enjoyed stepping back in time as the race for air travel was developing. One could truly feel the passion these pilots and engineers had for these magnificent machines. The twist of stepping back into a land of Vikings and dinosaurs was very well executed. Well done to both the author and the narrator. ​ Reminiscent of Golden Age Sci Fi This audio book reminded me of some of the 40's and 50's era tales, but what it happens to be is an alternative timeline World War II era fun adventure story. Think of a weird mash-up of a screw-up Captain America wanna-be mixed with the Land of the Lost mixed with Avatar where Hitler is the real villain and you might come close. At any rate, it's load of good fun and non stop action. But don't get distracted for a minute or you'll miss something! There are american pilots, Polish spies, Vikings, giant prehistoric eagles and, of course, Nazis! What more could you ask for to while away an afternoon? Our hero even gets the (Viking) girl! Put your feet up an get lost in what might have been.... 4 out of 5 stars! it's Amelia Earnhart meets WWII This is not an accurate historical fiction book, but rather an action-packed book set an historical time. I normally listen to my books at a higher speed, however the amount of drama and action in this book I had to slow it down. I like the storyline and the narrator however, the sound effects throughout the book did kind of throw me since I'm not used to that and most audible books. still I would recommend this is a good read.​ 5 out of 5 stars! I Would Like to See this on the Silver Screen Back in the late 1930s, the director of King Kong started planning War Eagles as his next block buster film. Then World War II intervened and the project languished for decades. It helps to know this background to fully appreciate this novel. It’s a big cinematic adventure waiting to find the screen. The heroes are larger than life, but more importantly, the images are bigger and more vivid than the mighty King Kong who reinvented the silver screen. And what are those images you may ask? Nazis developing super-science weapons for a sneak attack on America, Viking warriors riding gargantuan eagles in a time-forgotten land of dinosaurs, and of course, those same Vikings fighting Nazis over the skyline of New York City. This book is a heck of a lot of fun. It starts a little bit slow but once the Vikings enter the story it chugs along at a heroic pace. There is a ton of action and colorful confrontations. Narrator William L. Hahn pulls out all the stops adding theatrical sound effects to his wide repertoire of voices which adds a completely appropriate cinematic feel to the entire story. If you’re looking for some genuinely heroic fantasy, you should try War Eagles. Wonderful story War Eagles is a really good adventure story. ​5 out of 5 stars!”

“, Get in! I ain’t rolling out a red carpet,” said Hot Dog. “Wow, you guys, and gal, look so rugged, can I get a picture?” Possum said. “Only if you’re quick,” Hot dog said. Jurgen and Maricela grabbed seats. Possum put the camera up to his head and took the shot. As soon as Possum finished Hot dog yanked him into the APC. The APC started rolling, simultaneously closing its hatch. Possum sat next to Jurgen. “Aw, man, this always happens to me. We have to go back, man!” Possum said. “No can do. Why you want to go back?” Jurgen said. “Man, I totally forgot to take the lens cap off! I totally blew my shot,” Possum said. “Tough break,” Jurgen said. Possum began bemoaning how the universe hated him.”

“Sometimes standing for truth is painful and an isolated journey because truth is not always what we like to hear and live with. However, it is your belief in the purity of truth, your confidence in yourself and your godly values that will give you the strength to be a torchbearer of truth. With truth you are always a winner even if it comes late or with a price to pay.”

“...A onda sam se sapleo o to „pobeći”. Kad odeš, bežiš; kad bežiš, smatraš sebe slabijim. Kad se smatraš slabijim, ili uzmeš da ojačaš ili će tvoj život uvek biti nekakvo bežanje. I onda mi sine: sve je do ugla kamere. Ako si pesimista, uvek ćeš da nađeš nekog tužnog violinistu što svira rekvijem boljem sutra i demaskira ga u „malo sutra”. Uvek ćeš da nađeš ubedljiv dokaz da smo propali i da ništa ne vredi ni trud, ni talenat, ni vera u svoju zemlju. Ali, sa druge strane, ako gurneš ruku u gaće i napipaš ono ispod falusa, naći ćeš ne samo žargonski sinonim za hrabrost, nego i sidro koje će te zadržati ovde. Lakim pogledom oko sebe, videćeš ljude koji su uspešni i vredni svojoj zemlji, a nisu lopine. Samo ako si voljan da tako usmeriš kameru. Sve se bira. Ja sam tada odabrao tako, i nikad više nisam razmišljao da odem. (...) I dalje mi je žao prosjaka s violinom, ali sam uveren da takav postoji i u Americi.”
