Set against the historical backdrop of ninth-century Scandinavia, when Viking history was every bit as romantic as it was brutal, Forced Blood The Norseman offers a multidimensional depiction of the Norsemen who survived the Viking Age in their own country.
With its vivid attention to detail, Forced Blood The Norseman is an epic tale of one man's strength and courage against those who would rob him of his land, his culture, and his life.

Excerpt

Norway, in the mid-9th century A.D.,was a much different country than the peaceful Scandinavian nation we know today. It was a land of many independent kingdoms and even smaller territories ruled by jarls (earls) or clan chieftains. Without a dominant authority in the region to establish and enforce rules of law many disputes were settled by violence; this was true even down to the family and individual level. No stratum of Norse society was immune from death by the sword, axe, spear or arrow. Violence was simply looked upon as an inevitable part of life.

FORCED BLOOD THE NORSEMAN by Linda Newton Perry and Christopher Perry

FORCED BLOOD THE NORSEMAN is an atmospheric, blood-rousing saga of courageous men who lived and died by the sword, and of the stoic women who loved them. Set in nineth century Scandinavia the novel depics in graphic detail an often brutal society where life was precarious and uncertain.
The characters who people the novel come off the pages alive, and grip the reader with their fierce passion and courage, and their stoicism in the face of extreme hardship and adversity. The authors are to be commended.

Although I am not so much interested on the historical fictions, I would surely like to see the content in this book by Linda Perry Newton, I am sure that it is excellently written.

One copy for your home library ! Sure :)


P.S. I have kept your praise for my poems in the book "A Very first book of poems :Heartbreak". I hope you will not mind. :)

Reviewed by Stuart McCallum 10/5/2008
Linda Perry's outstanding debut historical novel captures the essence of the wondrous mid 9th century Vikings in Norway. The extensive research and attention to detail is highly evident in the authors realistic portrayal of the Viking Age, which keeps the readers totally compelled and turning the pages. Forced Blood The Norseman is an epic tale from a heady mix of courage, loyalty and passion to fight for your people, and to fight to the death for what is just and fair. Sensational reading, looking forward to your next book!
