Eagle Wing Lodge
About This Book
In the fall of 1944, First Lieutenant Joe Smith navigates a secret mission across a storm-cursed sky, ferrying a cargo of Nazi gold from war-torn Europe to San Francisco. When his B-24 bomber clips a mountain ridge and vanishes into the Sierra Nevada wilderness, he becomes one of history's forgotten ghosts—a mystery that will outlast him by generations.
Decades later, Professor Hunter Smith—aviation archaeologist, instinctive dreamer, and Joe's great-grandson—returns to his family's Eagle Wings Lodge nestled above a high-desert lake. Between leading hiking tours, solving a military drone disappearance, and falling deeper in love with the brilliant and guarded Katie, Hunter begins receiving vivid, impossibly detailed dreams that carry him back into the cockpit of his great-grandfather's doomed bomber. The past is not just speaking to him—it is pulling him toward a discovery that will reshape everything he knows about his family, the lodge, and the woman he loves.
Eagle Wings Lodge is a richly layered multigenerational saga that weaves World War II adventure, small-town secrets, and a tender love story into a gripping mystery of loss, legacy, and destiny. From the jungles of Brazil to the glaciers of Bolden Peak, from the quiet shores of Eagle Wings Lake to the frozen cockpit of a long-lost Mustang, every clue leads Hunter closer to the truth his great-grandfather never lived to tell.
Part historical thriller, part family saga, part ghost story of the living and the dead, Eagle Wings Lodge is a sweeping, emotionally resonant novel about what we inherit from those who came before us—and what, perhaps, they have been waiting all along for us to find.
The fall of 1944. A B-24 bomber carrying a billion dollars in Nazi gold vanishes into a snowstorm over the Sierra Nevada—and First Lieutenant Joe Smith vanishes with it.
Seventy years later, aviation archaeologist Hunter Smith returns to his family's mountain lodge chasing a military drone, strange dreams, and the ghost of a great-grandfather he never knew. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous the past becomes.
Hidden beneath the cold waters of Eagle Wings Lake lies a secret that powerful men are willing to kill to protect. And in the vivid, cinematic dreams linking Hunter to Joe's final hours, an impossible connection begins to emerge—one that reaches across time, bloodlines, and an ocean to the woman Hunter loves.
Some mysteries are buried. Some burn. And some have been waiting seventy years for the right person to find them.
Eagle Wings Lodge is a page-turning blend of World War II adventure, family secrets, and a love story written in the stars.
