Viking Fiction

[Nagoo]

Just a little hello here. I am an assistant DA in one of the collar counties of Chicago. I love historical fiction set during the Viking period and have a small collection of books set in this time period. For my own edification I have wrote reviews for these books, and over time, I intend to share them here.

I look forward to participating here.

Welcome Nagoo....look forward to your reviews.....Very fond of the Vikings and the era......waiting to read Robert Low's latest Oath Sworn series as soon as it's released in the U.S.A.....This forum is very user friendly....

I'll look forward to your reviews. I haven't read a great deal of Viking fiction, at least not recently, so it will be good to get more information on what's out there.

Hi Nagoo- I'm partial to Vikings myself -- at the safe distance of several centuries :)

Hope to hear more from you, and look forward to your reviews.

Chuck- Robert Low has really upset me by declaring Prow Beast the last (for now, anyway), of the Oathsworn series. He's moving on to a series set in medieval Scotland which could also be very good. It will feature Robert the Bruce and William Wallace. I imagine RL's William will be a bit more authentic than Mel's :)

However, I'm sure I saw somewhere on Robert Low's website that he has another Viking book tucked away for later, about the uncanny Olaf Tryggvasson "Crowbone" (Olaf 1 of Norway) He appears in the last 2 "Oathsworn" books. So, we might get some more Vikings at some stage.

Welcome! I'm also looking forward to your reviews!

Am something of a Viking nerd myself, as my graphic novel on the Greenland Norse shows. It was recently described to me as "obscure".:D

Have you reviewed films as well?

Welcome Nagoo! Nice to have you with us.

Hello and welcome! What great timing regarding Vikings and your intro. I want to recommend some Viking HF to my father when I send his Barnes & Noble gift card to him today, and I think Robert Low/Oathsworn will be it.

I recommended Cornwell's The Last Kingdom and the rest of the series to him which he absolutely loved. I need to read the last three, myself. Northmen/Vikings are definitely favorites among HF for me.

Welcome to the forums!! I'm a big fan of Scandinavian mythology, myself, and have read a few "Viking" books, so will be looking with interest to see what you think of any titles I recognise!

Ha! It would be difficult not to achieve that.

Welcome to the forum! I love the Viking mythology. There was a great museum exhibit in NYC a couple of years ago about the sagas. Looking forward to your reviews!
