Viking Blood and Blade

De: Peter Gibbons

Narrado por: Nicholas Jordan

If you like Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow, David Gemmell, and Giles Kristian, you will love this epic Viking adventure, packed with battles, treachery, blood and gore.

AD 865. The fierce Vikings stormed onto Saxon soil hungry for spoils, conquest, and vengeance for the death of Ragnar Lothbrok.

Hundr, a Northman with a dog's name...a crew of battle hardened warriors...and Ivar the Boneless.

Amidst the invasion of Saxon England by the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok, Hundr joins a crew of Viking warriors under the command of Einar the Brawler. Hundr fights to forge a warriors reputation under the glare of Ivar and his equally fearsome brothers, but to do that he must battle the Saxons and treachery from within the Viking army itself...

Hundr must navigate the invasion, survive brutal attacks, and find his place in the vicious world of the Vikings in this fast paced adventure with memorable characters.

Young Hero Coming of Age kind of book

This book was great! You have a mysterious hero who is coming of age and joins a crew to make his way to the great heathen army. It has daring adventures, friendships, enemies and a love story. This book will get your blood pumping!

Choose this book!

Great story line and characters. The entire series is awesome and I would highly recommend it if you like Vikings and shield walls.

There is never a long lull without some sort of adventure or action. Enough details to set the scene without bogging down like some of the other stories I’ve read/listened to.

Very similar style to Bernard Cornewell’s Saxon Series.

I really like this series and starting the 5th book now.

If you like viking stories, you will LOVE this!

What a great read (actually listened - audio book)!!! If you are a fan of The Vikings and The Kingdom, or similar story lines, you've got to get this one! I really enjoyed it!

Amazing! Fight scenes are intense

This book kept me on the edge and wanting more. I have the rest of the series on my list. Cant wait to read

Difficult to listen to

Loved the story. The monotone reading by Jordan ruined it for me. Not sure I will purchase additional volumes

Not a bad story, but really sub par narration.

The story was not bad, and was relatively entertaining but the reader was almost like a computer. Kind of a shame as it could be so much better!

Great Book and Good Narration Accents

This book is a must read if you are into anything to do with Vikings. It is violent and glorious. The combat isn't it's only striking point however, the characters are gritty and real, and the narrator gives them each such life. There are references to the Norse gods and goddesses as well as their feats throughout the book. It is a great beginning to an even greater saga.

I like the lead character who began with dogs name

visceral, believable characters and circumstances. Great character development and a little romance thrown in for good measure.

enjoyable viking saga

excellent trilogy. exciting and well paced. I will look forward to listening to it again.

More please!

Great start to a saga! Interesting characters not only skilled in battle but loaded with baggage that can help weave depth, conflict, pain and triumph to any Viking raid. Narrator was flat and monotone at times but had good character voices and heaviness when needed but lacked lightness and range.
