商品簡介
Revised and Updated Edition
Fleeing the ice clad fjords of his native Greenland just ahead of greedy kinsman who would keep his inheritance from him, Sigtrygg Thorgilsson, half-breed grandson of the storied explorer Leif Eiriksson, seeks his fortune on the shores of North America, last glimpsed by his grandfather some forty years before. Making his way across uncharted waters with a hastily assembled crew of untried men, he quickly learns that the inhabitants of the new land are less than pleased by their presence and that their survival will depend on their ability to carve a place for themselves in the midst of their skeptical hosts. But risking life and limb in a desperate gamble to prove their worth will not be enough as Sigtrygg's angry kinsmen unexpectedly arrive on the coast to dispute what he has won.
Then only the shrewd counsel of an aged viking, and the passion of the woman Sigtrygg left behind, offer a way out of the burgeoning blood feud that threatens to engulf them all-as storm clouds gather in the distance and a defeated enemy prepares to take his revenge.
A novel of Vikings and Indians in pre-Columbian North America, The King of Vinland's Saga reprises the failed settlement history of the Norse on the edge of the North Atlantic in the eleventh century-as Europe lay mired in medieval darkness, its inhabitants still ignorant of the places and peoples that lay just beyond their reach.
Book Review:
Just put down the above book. If this was your first endeavor, then I am eagerly anticipating your second. The book was fantastic It was as enjoyable to me as "The Golden Warrior", "Musashi", and "With Fire and Sword" and other historical fiction novels that grace my bookshelves (many of which purchased through your recommendation on Amazon). It is nice to read a book and get mad, frustrated, etc. at the characters.
Thanks again for a pleasurable read
