Beskrivning
If you like Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow and David Gemmell, you will love this spellbinding Viking adventure, packed with battles, blood and gore, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Lancelot, Giles Kristian."An unabashed carnival of bloodletting and betrayal...Kristian has a knack for writing real blokes living their lives, not reciting their author's research." -- DAILY TELEGRAPH"A gripping tale of action and treachery which splendidly conjures up the sounds, sights and smells of Dark Age Britain..." - HARRY SIDEBOTTOM"A powerful, lightning-paced tale of the Norsemen in England..." - BERNARD CORNWELL"I have been thoroughly overwhelmed by the sheer brilliance of Kristian's writing style, depth and colour of story, meaningful characters and clever humour. I have been most definitely impressed and have almost finished the 3rd book in the series. Time to return to the beginning and read again." -- ***** Reader review*********************************************SOME CALLED THEM WOLVES OF THE SEA. OTHERS SIMPLY CALLED THEM VIKINGS. For two years Osric has lived a simple life, though he is feared and shunned for his mysterious past and blood-red eye. When raiders from across the sea ransack his village, Osric finds himself taken prisoner by their chief, Sigurd the Lucky.Immersed in the Norsemen's world and driven by their lust for adventure, Osric proves a natural warrior and forges a deep bond with Sigurd, who renames him Raven. But the Norsemen's world is a savage one, where loyalty is often repaid in blood, and a young man must become a killer to survive...Raven: Blood Eye is the first title in the Raven trilogy. The story continues in Raven: Sons of Thunder.

Mer om författaren

Family history (he is half Norwegian) and a passion for the fiction of Bernard Cornwell inspired GILES KRISTIAN to write. Set in the Viking world, his bestselling 'Raven' and 'The Rise of Sigurd' trilogies have been acclaimed by his peers, reviewers and readers alike. In The Bleeding Land and Brothers' Fury, he tells the story of a family torn apart by the English Civil War. He also co-wrote Wilbur Smith's No.1 bestseller, Golden Lion. His contemporary survival thriller, Where Blood Runs Cold, won the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize. With his Sunday Times bestseller Lancelot, Giles plunged into the rich waters of the Arthurian legend. His epic reimagining of our greatest island 'history' continued in Camelot and draws to a breath-taking close with Arthur. Giles Kristian lives in Leicestershire.To find out more, visit www.glieskristian.com. You can follow him on X @GilesKristian and Facebook/Giles Kristian

Betyg & recensioner

1 recensioner, genomsnitt 3/5

  1. 3/5 Lars

    Det genomgående temat om en ung man som kidnappas av vikingar, men som snabbt annamar deras livsstil och värdringar, känns igen från Bernard Cornwell serie om Uthred (som i sin tur sannolikt är influerad av Frans G Bengtssons Röde Orm). De tydliga influenserna från Cornwell gör boken lite tunn, men den erbjuder ändå ett målande beskrivet persongalleri av vilda nordmän och lika vilda engelsmän. Historien håller ett högt tempo och Kristian låter Raven skaffa både vänner och fiender bland vikingarna under deras resor i södra England. Läsvärd för de som gillar genren, men för de med nyväckt intresse för vikingahistorier i engelsk tappning rekomenderas Cornwell istället.
