Eagle of the Gredos reviewed for lively early 13th century tale
The review highlights Claude Jack Osgood's Eagle of the Gredos from Reynal and Hitchcock Inc. It centers on Moorish Spaniard conflict with battles and sword play, but crowns the Eagle’s enduring love as the novel’s core. Some scenes push Risqué, with veils masking women’s activities seen as a modern twist.
