Summary
The fifth novel in Tim Hodkinson's Whale Road Chronicles featuring Viking lord Einar and the Wolf Coats， his shipmates。 The Wolf Coats must sail to Brittany， to find the famous religious scholar Israel of Trieste。 But can Einar overcome his pride， and his injuries， and make it back alive？
How do you defeat the undefeatable？ Einar must take back control of his destiny in this thrilling Viking adventure。
Although the rightful Jarl of Orkney， Einar is not yet strong enough to overcome his rival， King Eirik。 Einar and the Wolf Coats raid the pagan ceremony that will confirm Eirik's power， but due to his injured sword hand， Einar fails to kill Eirik and he and his men must flee。
They seek the protection of the King of the English。 In exchange for his help， the crew must undertake a perilous mission: sail to Brittany and bring a renowned scholar back to England。 But Brittany is besieged by Viking hordes， and the scholar is the prisoner of a legendary Viking warrior known as the Bear。
To succeed， Einar must infiltrate the Bear's stronghold。 But is a man who cannot wield a sword capable of being a true Viking warrior？ With his whole future at stake， can Einar prove his worth – and make it back alive？

Good Viking Saga。An interesting read， from a time when Vikings were either living with the old gods or becoming Christians。 Enjoyed it， but hope that the story of Einer continues。

An excellent readBeen reading the series since he first started publishing and I haven't been disappointed yet。 Great characters and story lines even if Einar can be a little childish。 But that's part of his character development。 I can't wait for the next one。 An excellent readBeen reading the series since he first started publishing and I haven't been disappointed yet。 Great characters and story lines even if Einar can be a little childish。 But that's part of his character development。 I can't wait for the next one。 。。。more

Superb。A roller coaster of a ride with Einar， Ulrich and the gang。 Throw in an enemy as large as life as Eirik Bloodaxe and the stage is set for action and violence。 Add in King Hakon who forced Bloodaxe off the throne of Norway and became King in his own right and the mighty Athelstan， king or emperor of Britain。 （ I don't understand why we don't celebrate Athelstan more。 ）。 You have all the ingredients for this brilliant novel。 Impatiently awaiting the next in the series。 Superb。A roller coaster of a ride with Einar， Ulrich and the gang。 Throw in an enemy as large as life as Eirik Bloodaxe and the stage is set for action and violence。 Add in King Hakon who forced Bloodaxe off the throne of Norway and became King in his own right and the mighty Athelstan， king or emperor of Britain。 （ I don't understand why we don't celebrate Athelstan more。 ）。 You have all the ingredients for this brilliant novel。 Impatiently awaiting the next in the series。 。。。more
