Anyone slightly familiar with history, or even studying history, will like this novel. Tim Severin succeeds align his narrative largely acceptable to the sources of the Viking period. In this sense, is another plus point that he "Da Vinci Code" requires no conspiracy á la, even if he draws a not always positive image of the Church and its missionary attempts. (Sources provide a positive course Mission image because they were finally written largely by clerics) A round Viking novel that will not only tell of battles and feasts, but also from the rest of the reconstructed or constructed rich culture of North Germanic. A recommendable book from the UK!
