Cry of the Fish Eagle

By: Peter Rimmer

Narrated by: Rob Drex

From the battlefields of World War II to the dawn of modern Zimbabwe, Cry of the Fish Eagle follows families bound to the land… and to the tides of history they cannot escape.

In wartime Cornwall, Rupert Pengelly returns to a failing farm, and a promise whispered over the deathbed of a friend. A promise that pulls him across oceans, toward Africa, toward a life he never imagined.

Rhodesia awaits with sun-baked fields, emerald hunts, and a restless horizon. Amid the heat and tension, a wild, fearless girl named Sasa emerges—unpredictable, untamed—ready to challenge Rupert’s loyalties and reshape the course of his future.

The old order trembles, resistance rises, and the Pengellys, Savages, and Birkendales are drawn ever closer… and pulled apart. Secrets deepen like shadows, alliances shift like sand, and the storm gathering over the land soon finds them at its centre.

And when the cry of the fish eagle rings across the skies, one question remains: who will endure, and what must be sacrificed to survive the tides of history?

Across continents, across generations, the tides of empire shape all they touch.

Horrid Narration

I couldn't finish the book. The narration was awful.
I had listened to several other books written by Peter Rimmer. The narrators for those books was excellent.

I will give this caveat; this is not a personal attack on individual narrators, but rather on the style and actor voice tone and interpretation of the text.

Peter Rimmer deserves better and I know that Audible CAN do better.

Disappointed

Found the story line interesting but wandered & scattered, dragging to the point I just couldnt finish the book. Very dissappointed in the narration with irritating poorly faked accents & cheesy distracting sound effects.

Narration was bad

Did not continue with book. Narrator was comical and not fitting for story. Very sad.
