    Here are three reviews of my book written by reviwers:

    This is a wonderful blend of fact and fiction, putting flesh on the dry bones of history, demonstrating the insatiable restless human desire for discovery, adventure and the pursuit of knowledge.
    Be drawn into a classic sojourn which spans many religions and beliefs and incorporates the ingredients of friendship, dignity, honour, love, betrayal and greed; against the backdrop of a hostile environment which gives no quarter – just what one expects from a Viking.
    An intellectual read, leaving the door open with a promise of more to come … Riveting stuff!
    Paul Sweetland

    EXCELLENT! The book tells a story that captures the reader on several levels. What appears to be an historical novel becomes an adventure set in a background of rich experiences and wide diversity. This adventure, alongside the stories of the different settlements and religions, and that of a moving

    love story, means that this book provides a compelling and exciting journey of discovery for both the characters in the book and the reader themselves.

    An adventure which skilfully combines history and fiction into a page-turner. A wonderful story.

    I am trying to read this myself at the mo'. Unlike most Cussler books I have read (and I've read most) as yet I havent been swept up and carried away with the storyline. Maybe the maestro is losing his touch......?
