Book Review: A Dramatic Conclusion
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is the sequel to Odinn's Child and brings to a conclusion the Viking adventure.
The date is 1035, the place the cosmopolitan city of Constantinople, the gateway to Asia and all its treasures and mysticism. Thorgils has become a member of the elite Varangian lifeguard, a post that allows him to witness first hand the glories of one of the greatest cities in the whole world. Unfortunately it also allows him first hand experience of the cruelty and murderous ways of the imperial family.
Under the leadership of Harald Sigurdsson, Thorgils is used as bait to trap Arab pirates who are attacking the shipping lanes of the Mediterranean.
When Harald becomes King of Norway, Thorgils life becomes ever more entwined with the King and his travel eventually take him on a journey to England and a desperate race to Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire, to warm the Norwegian King that he has been duped by his supposed ally William of Normandy, but will Thorgils be in time or for that matter ever reach Stamford Bridge. . .
