***************************************************


IF YOU BETRAY A FELLOWSHIP YOU ARE A DEAD MAN...

Raven and the Wolfpack
plough the sea-road in pursuit of the Saxon traitor, Ealdred, who has left the Fellowship for dead and fled to the Frankish Emperor Charlemagne and the promise of untold riches.

Sailing in search of revenge, the pagan Norsemen venture into the heart of a Christian empire that would wipe their kind from the face of the earth, a place where danger lies in wait around every bend of the great river up which they travel.

A young man with no memory and a blood-tainted eye, Raven has found friendship and purpose amongst this fierce band of warriors. Having proved himself in battle, he is now certain that Viking blood flows in his veins.

But to survive this adventure, his cunning must be as sharp as his blade...

Raven: Sons of Thunder is the second title in the Raven trilogy. The story continues in Raven: Odin's Wolves. Have you read Raven: Blood Eye, the first in the trilogy?

An all-action adventure...a joy to read...a brilliant story, beautifully told
Kristian can really write...His battle scenes are bone crunchingly good, his descriptions of the Viking world bright and evocative...a great storyteller (BEN KANE, author of The Forgotten Legion)
I loved it; I found it gripping and I ripped through it...always the sign of an exciting book (ANGUS DONALD, author of Outlaw)
An excellent read which compares favourably with writers like Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden
Gripping . . . splendidly conjures up the sounds, sights, and smells of Dark Age Britain (HARRY SIDEBOTTOM, author of the "Warrior of Rome" series)

As always great writing, fabulous characters and fight scenes coupled with immaculate research. There were times when the plot was too fantastic to be believed, particularly in the prison. The narration was superb.

Good but not his best.

a good saga of the Norwegian Vikings, the interplay between heathen gods and Christian is well done, fighting in the land of the Frank's chased down a Frankish river , they have a choice to make that not all are happy with.
