The Phoenician and the Lost Vikings of the Round Table

By: Leonard Wibberley

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When a legendary Viking ship, the Black Raven, returns home to Ostmond, its captain is dead, and the crew is emaciated. The only man left standing is a stranger from a faraway land named Eusebius the Phoenician.

Eusebius is taken to the Great Hall where he convinces the Viking council to give him men and ships to go on an epic quest for the Holy Grail.

From Goodreads:
"Many surprises, starting with the author. When I picked this up at some used book store or sale, I had no idea it was by Leonard Wibberley (author of The Mouse that Roared and John Treegate's Musket). Next, my assumption was that anything Phoenician would be set in ancient times—wrong! This is, in fact, a tale of Vikings. Then I thought this was a straight historical fiction—nope, it leans more to the speculative alternative history with elements from myths and legends (as well as actual history). It’s quite a good book that keeps moving along. 4 Stars!"

Arthurian tale

Reminded me of TE Whites trilogy and also of Arthur Conan Doyle’s historical fictions. Very pleasant listening even though the narrator is a computer generated voice. I stopped noticing this. Probably would be better with a live narrator to add personalities. But enjoyable.
