"Richly steeped in authentic Viking history and custom...reader
be warned: after some relatively leisurely accountings of battles
long past, we're suddenly in the thick of a tautly paced
massacre followed by a breathless escape and a tense chase, and
there's no looking up from the page until the danger is
past."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"The Strongbow Saga is an extraordinary tale that is to-the-letter
accurate in its detail while remaining to-the-hilt entertaining."
Professor Michael Livingston, The Citadel
Dragons From the Sea
"The second volume in the Strongbow Saga takes up the tale
of Halfdan Hroriksson in 845 CE ... Even readers who have not
read the previous novel in the series, Viking Warrior (2006),
will find it easy to follow Halfdan’s tale ... the current
tale of battle, siege, and reconnaissance features plenty of action
as well as bits of humor and reflection. An absorbing historical
novel told from the viewpoint of a young Viking."
