Bunduki (Bunduki Series Book One) - Plot & Excerpts
She was not a moment too soon! In fact, she had almost left it too late! Already the harpy eagle’s broad, shortish wings were lifting it higher, in preparation for the deadly downwards plunge onto its prey. From its powerful curved beak burst a hideous shriek that was intended to paralyze its victim with fright during the final stages of the attack. Reversing its wing beats and spreading its tail feathers, the eagle inclined its body almost vertically. It thrust the sturdy yellow legs forward, directing the deadly implements with which it made its kill towards its prey. The huge, hooked claws—the ones at the rear not quite as long but thicker than those of a Kodiak bear, the largest carnivorous land animal in the world—opened to a span as great as the hand of a big man. They were ready to drive into and clamp hold of its victim’s flesh. For once, the terror-inducing scream was failing to achieve its purpose. The creature at which it was flying was far more dangerous than the arboreal animals and large jungle birds that formed the eagle’s natural prey.
