Reviewed by Karen Pirnot for Readers' Favorite

The Eagle Cries by Larry Lindstrom is the third book in the We The People trilogy. In this story, agents Louis Elliott and Lynn Martin had been shot and left for dead. As the book opens, each of the agents is being told that the other has died. That leaves the pair free to accept separate assignments. Agent Elliott is assigned to look into suspect transports of weapons and explosives. It is thought that the explosives are being made into IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) to be used by extremists. Agent Martin is sent to infiltrate a Jihadist training base which is located in the United States. When the two agents begin to suspect they might be on missions that coincide, the mystery starts to unfold.

It would have helped this reader to have familiarity with the first two books. As it was, it was difficult to get into the background of the agents as well as all the political innuendos interspersed throughout the book. Once all the dots were connected, the story unfolded into an interesting mystery which incorporated many of today's headline stories. The character of Elliott was well developed but I wanted more information about Martin's personality. This is a good story and those who have followed the first two books in the series will probably love the outcome of this book as well.

The Eagle Cries
by Larry Lindstrom

In the third book by Larry Lindstrom to feature his FBI agents Louis Elliott and Lynn Martin, Lindstrom takes readers on the wildest ride of all of his books yet. Fans of the action genre will not be disappointed in The Eagle Cries. Set mostly across Texas with a few forays to states like Louisiana, readers will often get so lost in the tense action taking place that they will feel they are watching a movie rather than reading a book. It's a testament to Lindstrom's abilities as an author of the action adventure novel. While his previous two efforts are fine addition to that genre, this one is simply superb. The chapter size that Lindstrom selects matches the fast-paced action that he wants readers to experience. By keeping chapter size no longer than need be, readers are enticed to turn one page after another.

Lindstrom also keeps his prose sparse, without too much extra description to take away from the story and the action. Ernest Hemingway famously termed adjectives a weak writer's crutch, and often for action novels that becomes the case. By keeping his use of adjectives to a minimum, Lindstrom does not get in the way of the action of his story or the imagination of the reader. Character, too, is important in any adventure story. Without strong, well-drawn characters, the author cannot hope to connect with readers. Lindstrom again shows his maturity as a writer in this third book by taking the reader into the mind, heart and soul of Louis Elliott and Lynn Martin. In this book, the characters cease to be mere stereotypes of what an FBI agent should look and act like. They are people that we could quite easily know and like. Lindstrom definitely possesses a skill and power for successfully blending the human element with a fast-paced action novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
