Why read it?

The descriptions of Vikings in this book are unique to others in the Viking Historical Fiction genre.
Robert captures the Viking Age with realistic grit and blood-spattered realism, and this is a difficult book to put down. Orm Bearslayer and his crew are classic anti-heroes, and Finn Horsehead is a magnificent character.

From Peter's list on historical fiction or fantasy about the Viking Age.
