The fifth instalment in this popular and highly
successful series, "Viking" follows on from
Legionary, Gladiator, Knight and Samurai, your
guide to the Norse world of the tenth century
ad. Discover everything you will need to become
a successful Viking warrior: how to join a war
band; what to look for in a good leader; how to
behave at a feast; what weapons and armour to
choose; how to fight in a shield wall; where to
go raiding; how to plunder a monastery and
ransom a monk; how to navigate at sea; and what
to expect if you die gloriously in battle.
Modern reconstructions and ancient artefacts,
including 16 pages of brilliant colour images,
will immerse the reader visually in the Viking
world. The humorous text peppered with quotes
from sagas and chronicles will take you on an
engrossing journey from joining a raiding party
to how to die gloriously.
