Exciting Medieval Adventure with Its Thoughtful Moments

Emmanuelle de Maupassantâs 'Viking Thunder' is an exquisite piece of writing by any standard, imaginative historical fiction at its finest, and one of the sexiest tales Iâve had the pleasure to read inâever. Told from the point of view of Elswyth, a young Anglo-Saxon woman, promptly made a widow when a band of Northmen raid her village, this is a clash-of-cultures story enlivened by lots of deliciously lurid action, pillage, fire, and, yes, rape--treated with appropriate gravity. Elswyth, not ungrateful to be rid of her feckless husband, quickly catches the eye of the Viking leader, Eirik, and is befriended by the shield maiden Helka, Eirikâs sister who functions as interpreter, cultural go-between and a counterbalance of quiet reason to her brotherâs fiercely impulsive nature. Yet, more than mere escapist adventure, 'Viking Thunder' has its thoughtful moments, too, a bit of comparative theology and myth, reflection on love, fate and destiny, cheek by jowl with unapologetically explicit descriptions of sex, heady as the sweetest mead. First in a yet another series from the remarkably prolific Maupassant, I, for one, can hardly wait for more. Highly recommended!

Short but engaging and interesting read

Eirik and the Northmen raid the village of Elswyth and her husband, the chief. They kill the chief and rape and pillage. Elswyth is raped by three Northmen but does not resist knowing less harm will come to her that way. A product herself of an earlier Northman raid and rape of her mother she is therefore half Viking herself. Befriended by Helka who is Eirik's sister Elswyth softens to the raiders and becomes erotically enamored of Eirik. Will she leave with him? This tale is short and my main issue is that I wanted it to be longer. Hopefully another story will be published soon? I received as a freebie and have voluntarily given this honest review.

Vikings

Not often you find a good book about Vikings. I thought the characters were well fleshed out and I am anxious to read the 2nd story to see what happens. Interesting to see if she follows on with their story and maybe get a 3rd book out of it.

Overpowering in its intensity!

This book is a wonderful depiction of what it must have been like for the Vikings and their conquests! It is full of the fire and desires that Vikings are famous for.

Awesome

This book is an edge seater. Wow! I couldn't put it down.
