You know that Fast Show sketch when the posh guy finds a book in his attic & "...it turned out to be the original copy of the Bible!" Well, that's what this book reminds me of. I'd file it under 'Daft but fun'. It's well researched & I enjoyed the real Viking history it uses but it's very Hollywood. Incident whilst diving inside an iceberg I'm looking at you! MC is a Marty Stu & it's ridiculously far-fetched. Pure hokum but very entertaining.

Starting this one tonight. Think this was passed on to me by my late father - it's the sort of thing he loved. When I opened it it had a ten year old lottery ticket inside it & it will be 10 years next year that he's been gone 😥

The blurb says something to the effect of it being Indiana Jones crossed with Dan Brown. Though that quote was from the Mirror - not exactly known as being an arbiter of quality literature 🤣

Elizabeth2 So sorry for your loss. I lost my dad a little over a year ago and felt like I wore a wet blanket dipped in concrete for over six months after he passed. Finding something like that in a book would be so bittersweet. I hope you enjoy the book with good memories of your dad. 4y
