Description

From the bestselling author of Jurassic ParkTimeline, and Sphere comes an epic tale of unspeakable horror.
 
It is 922 A.D. The refined Arab courtier Ibn Fadlan is accompanying a party of Viking warriors back to their home. He is appalled by their customs—the gratuitous sexuality of their women, their disregard for cleanliness, and their cold-blooded sacrifices. As they enter the frozen, forbidden landscape of the North—where the day’s length does not equal the night’s, where after sunset the sky burns in streaks of color—Fadlan soon discovers that he has been unwillingly enlisted to combat the terrors in the night that come to slaughter the Vikings, the monsters of the mist that devour human flesh. But just how he will do it, Fadlan has no idea.

    This is a translation by the author about a compelling story written over 1000 years ago with his opinions and footnotes. It depicts the Norsemen as a vile and despicable people and suggests that Neanderthals may have existed at that time. You may find yourself questioning what about the story was fact and what was real. Worth the read.

    This novel is over 30 years old! And you still want $10.00? Did not the judgement on price fixing bother you at all? Reduce the price to 1980's levels at least!
