The Narrow Seas

Norsemen Saga, Book 11

De: James L. Nelson

Narrado por: Shaun Grindell

Thorgrim Night Wolf and his men, hunkered down behind their ad hoc defenses and facing off against the powerful army of Æthelwulf, king of Wessex, must find some means to continue their voyage home. But Æthelwulf, too, is trapped, unable to set sail on his pilgrimage to Rome while the powerful fleet of Northmen remains at his doorstep. It's only when the enigmatic Felix proposes a solution, acceptable to both sides, that the impasse is broken. It is a solution that will take them across the narrow seas that separate England from Frankia, one that will take Thorgrim and Louis de Roumois that much closer to their homes, and into even greater danger on the other side.

As Thorgrim fights for his survival, his son Odd, leader of the nascent rebellion against Halfdan the Black, takes his first tentative steps out of hiding. Odd and his brothers-in-arms, still outlaws and wanted men, must gauge the threat that awaits them as they make their secret way toward their former homes. The truth, however, is soon revealed; Halfdan's fury has not abated, and he and his men will stop at nothing to run Odd to earth and crush him and his rebellion once and for all.

Smooth flow from chapter to chapter

Nelson is good and he really hit the mark this time. As usual, I can’t wait for story to continue. I must find out where the Roman map leads the Northmen.

love this series

Loved this series since book 1. Story never gets boring. Hope there are many more to come

Fantastic historical fiction

Another gripping tale in the Norsemen Saga. The ending left me very excited for a future installment!

One of the Best Individual Novels of the Set.

I’m not going to say it was the best, because I have a couple of favorites. But Mr. Nelson did not disappoint - with the exception that I felt like I waited 50 years for it to arrive. (It’s the only book I have ever Pre- ordered.). Of course I’m looking forward to next episode. King Half-Ass is gonna get what’s been coming to him.

Great story.

The story is great and the narrator is as well. Can’t wait for then next!

Love this series

Can’t wait to find out what happens to Od and family. Gives me a new respect for the North’s command of the seas.

Entertainment and tying up some of the stories

Enjoyed the tail and look forward to hearing the next story. Can’t wait for the next installment.

Good book

I’ve enjoyed this series so far. Probably going to be one of those never-ending type. While not required, start with the first book. The style is the same throughout the series.
