SOME REVIEWS/ENDORSEMENTS


Rating: +5
Reminiscent of Tom Clancy's novels at their best, but with more action.
Aug 19, 2011
by IsraelDrazin - BooksnThoughts

This well written and exciting adventure story is reminiscent of the Tom Clancy novels at their best, but this book has more action. The authors describe the battles and other exploits of a unique battle force in fascinating detail that draw readers into the clashes. Readers will react as they read and as they finish this action-packed drama: "Wow! When will the next book come out?"


THE BOOKSHELF DETECTIVE
Book Review by JOSEPH PROVOST: 5 of 5 STAR RATING
I was the lucky winner of an advanced reader copy of BLACK EAGLE FORCE by Buck Stienke and Ken Farmer. I found it beyond exciting. From the beginning of this military thriller to the end, the reader feels like they're on an adventure. Stienke and Farmer start with Santa Anna's campaign in 1836 and take you through to present day in a way that makes you feel like you're reliving history. - Joseph Provost CWO 2 (retired)
Quartermaster Core

In summary, this book is filled with action, adventure, heroic personalities, and is a well-told story. I liked Black Eagle Force very, very much, and I'm not an easy sell. I found it a quick, page-turning read. I recommend it to anyone who likes story, adventure, hard-hitting and constant action and many distinct, likable and appealing characters. Your devotion to detail, clarity and authenticity was admirable; as was the subject matter's relevance and topicality. - Cliff Osmond (actor/writer/director, wrote and directed THE PENITENT starring Raul Julia and Amand Asante)

If you're a fan of one-stop shopping, you'll love Black Eagle Force: Eye of the Storm, because this novel has it all: Nail-biting excitement, edge-of-your-seat action, fast-paced drama, and even laugh-out-loud humor. Believable characters, gritty, realistic dialog, and picturesque descriptions that provide a "you are there" sensation that will leave you wanting more. - Loree Lough, author of 80+ award-winning novels, including From Ashes to Honor [#1 in the First Responders series].

Absolutely loved Black Eagle Force.... HONESTLY...I could not put it down. Great fast-paced read. Love the beginning with its historical setting. Not just a book for guys or military junkies! And the end was a surprise! Can't wait for sequel....and movie!!! - Jocelyn K. White, "Designing DFW" TV Show Host

The characters throughout were engaging, well-presented and memorable. I was also particularly pleased to have some "frailty" presented to some characters.  The plot and setting were excellent and very timely.  BFE grabbed my attention quickly, involved me in the conflict and made me anxious and empathetic for the wonderful characters I came to know. - Joel Erik Thompson - JET, author of the CAT book series.


Black Eagle Force is an eloquently written modern day episodes of battle which are continually analyzed by liberals who think drug cartels and terrorists can be 'fixed'. Farmer & Stienke create a deep heartfelt patriotism through their storytelling that reinvigorates the soul of Americans who believe in justice and want to see action taken against evil forces. BEF is a group of warriors dedicated to the 'never say die' dirty work, others would rather know nothing about, yet have the morbid curiosity to be judgmental of moral turpitude. -
Colonel John G. Worman, USMC

"The explosions and vibrations have almost stopped," Vivian said as she placed her ear against the wall.   "Maybe we should open the door."
  "I think not. All the explosions were outside. I suspect the Black Eagle Force was taking care of all the external defenses. The fighting will move inside now," President Thompson said. "Let's stay put. If Cojone can't find us, he can't use me as a hostage or human shield."
  "I see your point—it's getting a bit stuffy in here, don't you think?"
  "A little. We'll just have to tough it out. Maybe it won't be too much longer. Sit down here beside me, let's conserve our energy."
  Vivian moved away from the door and sat down against the wall beside Annette. Her eyes began to fill with tears.
   "Why are you crying, Vivian?"
   "Oh, Annette, I can't tell you how many times I almost gave up all hope and thought about doing away with myself. The church says suicide is a grave sin and that our body is the property of God—a gift to all the world, but Javier is such an evil, horrid, horrid man. I knew that one day he would take a new girl as favorite and I would be handed down to his underlings or sold," she said as she buried her face in her hands.
   Annette put her arm around Vivian's shoulders.
   "Vivian, I admire your strength so much. I need you to be strong for just a little while longer. My faith tells me we will be rescued soon—pray with me. Are you familiar with the 23rd Psalm?"
  Vivian raised her tear streaked face, nodded and looked at Annette.
  "I can see why you are the leader of your people," she said as she raised up so she could kneel and clasped her hands.
   Annette knelt beside her and they began to pray together.
   "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever. In Jesus's name we pray."
   Vivian crossed herself and turned to Annette.
  "Thank you."
   "No, it is I who should thank you," the President said as she embraced Vivian.

EXCERPT from "Return of the Starfighter", Chapt. 8

AIRSPACE OVER EAST CHINA SEA
Sunday, November 10th

"Max, clear to launch the Eagles," Kit transmitted over the intercom.
   "Copy clear to launch," replied the burly Loadmaster and Flight Engineer.
   Like most BEF members, he was cross trained to handle multiple jobs. Max checked the safety strap attached to his harness one last time before he turned on the low level red lighting and killed the bright halogen lights that lit the cargo bay like day. He grasped the aft ramp lever and pulled it down the center position. Outside, the clamshell doors of the C-5M empennage opened and the massive ramp began to lower. The noise inside the long cargo bay was deafening, as if a thousand angry hornets were circling. Each BEF Eagle had all eight Rotopower engines idling and even at low power, the spinning blades and exhausts created a mini maelstrom inside. Max eyeballed Dare in the left seat of Eagle One. Dare gave him a thumbs-up. Max responded by engaging the track system mounted in the cargo bay floor. All four Eagles moved in unison until Dare's lead aircraft was on the ramp, level and extending out into the darkness. Max formed a signal resembling football goal post with his arms, then lowered his forearms until they were in a level position.
   "Here we go. Bull give me rear struts down and locked," Dare said in response to Max's hand signals.
   "You got it," he replied as he shifted the mechanical lever down and pushed it in.
   The M600/A nacelle struts responded to the hydraulic pressure on the internal bellcranks, and in seconds, the rear struts were completely horizontal. Titanium locking pins slid into place to assure strut rigidity. Kit observed the amber In Transit lights were replaced by green Locked indications that extinguished after five seconds.
   "Down and green," Kit stated.
   "Down and green confirmed," Dare said as he gave Max another thumbs-up signal.
   Max spun his upraised index finger in small circles near his head. Dare took control of the centrally mounted single control stick with his right hand as his left hand eased the four throttles forward. With slight back pressure on the stick, the four nacelles at the end of the wing-like struts tilted upward until they reached the maximum forty-five degree point. A set of parallel louvers at the rectangular back end of the nacelles were computer commanded to a full down position to allow the craft to lift off vertically. Dare adjusted power to near maximum until the green Weight on Wheels light faded.
"We're flying, Boss," Bull said matter-of-factly.
"Roger," Dare said as he focused on the extremely hazardous portion of the launch.
Max snapped a salute that was returned by Bull in the WSO seat. Dare increased the stick back pressure, allowing the louvers to creep ever so slightly forward and inching the Eagle rearward. Three seconds later both men could see the aft edge of the ramp.
   "Gear up," commanded Dare.
   "Gear coming up," replied Bull as he grasp the small clear acrylic tire on a lever and pulled it out then up to the retract position.
   Dare eased back on the throttles, causing the Eagle to sink and separate from Mama Bird. The tiny dark gray craft rocked hard a couple times when it hit turbulent air beneath the Galaxy, then smoothed out as it leveled off one hundred feet beneath the huge ship.
   "Gear up and locked, after take off check list complete."
   "Roger, checklist complete," replied Dare as he banked left and headed out to a pre- briefed position some five hundred feet from Mama Bird.
   "Can I breathe now?" A very nervous Kim Wu asked.
   "Sure. You can also quit crushing my hand," replied Tze Yen seated beside her in one of the two rear seats.
   Kim sheepishly released his hand, not realizing she had grabbed it instinctively during the launch.
   "You guys do this every mission?"
   "Yep. Sometimes twice, " he said smiling. "It gets easier. Just wait 'till we dock."
           "Joy… Looking forward to it."
