Viking Fire

De: Justin Hill

Narrado por: Jonathan McGarrity

In 1035, a young 15-year-old Viking is dragged wounded from the battle. Left for dead, for the next 20 years his adventures lead him over mountains, down the length of Russia and ultimately to Constantinople and the Holy City of Jerusalem.

Drawn into political intrigue, he will be the lover of empresses, the murderer of an emperor; he will hold the balance of power in the Byzantine Empire in his hands and then give it all up for a Russian princess and the chance to return home and lead his own people. There, he must fight the demons of his past, his family and his countrymen in a long and bitter war for revenge and power.

Told in his own voice, this is the astonishing true story of the most famous warrior in all Christendom: Harald Hardrada, the last Viking.

Comparable to Conn Iggulden’s Rome and Genghis Series

Great read/listen, I’ve been looking for a good book about Harold Hardrada for some time. I consider Conn Iggulden’s series (mentioned above) the gold standard and this book is comparable. Narrator does a good job. Only (slight) negative, in the beginning it was a little hard to discern when the Priest was talking and while Harold was, but I figured it out toward the middle.
