“An excellent book that is easy to pick up for those unfamiliar with Norse history and mythology, while still offering enough depth for seasoned Norse enthusiasts. A well-written, easy-to-read retelling of myths and history, presenting a raw and unique perspective on the Norse heroes of the past and their human reflection in the gods, myths, and folklore — while avoiding the romanticised interpretations often seen in modern media.

"A fantastic and informative read. I particularly liked how he ties in the Norse with the formation of Normandy. Not only has Ryder created a fresh view of old legends he even throws in philosophical nuggets along the way. It teaches us that we’re all more than one thing and we don’t have to be defined by what we believe in. Great read!"

“This book is beautifully written and flows very well. The level of detail is awesome! Jamie has brought the lost world of Norse Fighting Heroes to life. His latest book takes the reader beyond the cartoon-like view most of us have about the world of Norsemen and show us how they really lived their lives"
