The Lord of Vik-Lo

A Novel of Viking Age Ireland - Norsemen Saga Series #3

De: James L. Nelson

Narrado por: Shaun Grindell

Having recovered from the wounds of battle and having won for himself a fortune, a crew, and a longship, Thorgrim Night Wolf makes ready to leave the Viking town of Dubh-linn for the long journey back to his home in Norway. But the gods have other plans, and Thorgrim and his men wash up in the small Viking longphort of Vík-ló. Thinking themselves among friends, they soon learn that the opposite is true - that Grimarr Giant, the Lord of Vík-ló, has reason to want Thorgrim and his son, Harald, dead. In a world where they cannot tell friend from foe, a world of violence at sea and on land, Thorgrim, Harald, Ornolf, Starri, and their band of Norsemen find themselves once again fighting not just for plunder but for their very survival.

Oh. MY. LOVE. LOVE. Suspense!

I laughed out loud a few times during this book in the Viking series by Nelson, and I wept too. The author must be a bear on the outside but a marshmallow within. Why? He weaves details of the sea, ships, weapons and excruciating fighting... yet he gives such sweet and reverent descriptions of LOVE - in all forms - that makes us teary upon the hearing. LOVE THESE BOOKS! EXCELLENT NARRATION!

Great series

I was turned onto this series by a friend. I am enjoy this saga and recommend it.

Great read! Has all the elements needed.

very good book. good glimpes into how it may have been in an era we know so little about.

awesome

loved it one of best stories 4 th time I have listened to it. awesome oh to be a viking.

Would recommend

Great series, kept me interested and looking forward to the next chance I had to listen to the book.

Slower start, but picks up very well

Very thrilling once you get past all the seamanship details and story setup. As with the other books, there are multiple sides to every conflict.

the past has a way of catching up to you

again another epic tale of the norsemen saga. literally could not stop listening to this. thank you james l nelson

Detailed seafaring accounts

The detail of seafaring, war and harsh but steady progress to better lives for future generations, but at the cost of many lives on the way.

Viking Valor, Vengeance, and Vindication

I did not expect the story to carry forward with the strength of description, continuity of plot, and complete closure without trite wrap ups. The writing did not disappoint. Oh, I lied. I was disappointed that it ended.

A great story narrated extremely well!

A saga that I can't wait to hear more of. It makes this Viking proud!
