From Cornwall to Yemen, four innocent bird watchers are manipulated into a sequence of intrigue, threat and violence, from which there seems no escape. In a departure from his previous books, set in his native Cornwall, N.R. (Roy) Phillips draws on his experience of ornithological expeditions to Yemen and Afghanistan, and work in Saudi Arabia, to create a spellbinding tale of the misadventures of Jack Pengelly and three other birders who venture to Yemen in quest of the migration route of the magnificent Steppe Eagle, from Russia across the Arabian desert into Africa.Set against the backdrop of the spectacular and ornithologically unexplored Yemen landscape, The Way Of An Eagle tells how, while searching for the eagles, they inadvertently become involved with gunrunning dissidents and politically motivated authorities. From the very first days they are unknowingly used and manipulated right up to the horrific conclusion.

Roy Phillips' readers are in safe hands. A born storyteller. The Way of an Eagle is a must, not only for fellow birders, but also for those who enjoy a rattling good adventure yarn. ...a sense of realism and an authenticity so powerful that the heart, sand and dust of the region is all but tangible. And it's not long before, like these intrepid birders, that you have the taste of the Middle East in your mouth... : The Western Morning News-- The Way of an Eagle will etch phrases, scenes, landscapes and politics into its readers' consciousness- it may be the novel of a lifetime in scope and intensity, as well as in being the vehicle where the writer marshals all his skill to tell the tale - an excellent, exciting and most memorable book. N R Phillips has produced a novel of intensity and beauty, portraying not only a cogent and compelling plot but also an interplay between characters whose relationships and personalities alter as events unfold. - Bert Biscoe
