In the early 1470’s fifteen ninety-five foot wooden longboats departed the northern Scottish mainland, a small island in the Pentland Firth, and many of the Southern Orkney Islands to find new lands to raise their families in. The journey was sanctioned by the beloved King Agar and the craftsman/metallurgist Gamelin. The departing clans were desirous of being detached from the rampaging Baaldurian’s. These were a wicked Viking tribe separated from the original Northern Nation by their choice to follow the bloody antediluvian witchcrafts instead of Jesus Christ. Now . . . five hundred and forty-two years later, another voyage is about to begin. Dr. Gabriel Proudmore and the crew of the computerized schooner Heimdall will be departing Aberdeen Scotland on an adventure of profound scope and danger. Their mission: to retrace the first Viking voyage, no matter where it takes them, or what they may encounter, on a quest to find the only remaining clan of Rognvald Vikings and present them with the greatest symbol of Viking faith in the Holy Risen Christ ever made, the Tempest. The world had been changing rapidly, and while a nebulous form of chaos was becoming the accepted paradigm everywhere, an insidious darkness was consuming many with drug use, witchcraft, murders, and theft.

Outstanding Story
I could not put this novel down. The storyline is wonderfully unique, the characters are endearing, the action is riveting, and the writing is superb. All ages!

A seamless integration of Jules Verne, Robert Lewis Stevenson, and C.S. Lewis with a modern vision aboard the computerized schooner Heimdall. The author investigates historical figures with religious differences to help both his characters, and his readers, to find their own paths in life. An Adventure/Mystery for everyone!
