Legend of the Last Vikings is an historical action and adventure novel set at the end of the Viking age. Its not about Vikings, but rather about the journey of a group of Vikings who "go-a-viking" one last time.
The Action and Adventure takes place from Norway across the European Steppe, down the mighty Dniepr River to Kiev. Then across the Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea) and up the Don river to Sarkel. Portage across the Khazarian Way and down the Volga river past the ancient city of Itil to Astrakhan. Across the Caspian Sea to Gorgan in modern day Iran then up the Bolshoi river and Oxus (Waxus) river past Chorasmia to Bactria on the Silk Route.
From there the journey proceeds along the Silk Route through the ancient towns of Kashgar, Aksu and Karashaer to the abandoned desert city of Lou Lan, THATS ENOUGH! You'll have to read it to find out the rest and what happens.............
The book is a beautifully bound 511 page hardcover with historical companion, place name lexicon, maps and character descriptions. For more information about the subject matter, reviews or to purchase, visit the book's website at www.vikinglegend.com
As yet I am waiting for Shelfari to also load books from Amazon.UK and ABE Books. So until then it wont be appearing on Shelfari. Pity........
