  • (Abridged) Join a stunning adventure in 922 A.D. to a mysterious land where the day's length does not equal the night's. . .where after sunset the sky burns in streaks of color. . .where a powerful Viking chieftain and his band of brothers must lock in mortal combat with monstrous brutes who threaten to empty the land. . .
    The majority of these audiobooks, which were converted from audio cassette tapes into digital Mp3 files are over 30 years old. Some of the cassette tapes had to be taken apart and spliced back together, which can be a very delicate procedure. Just a little something I thought I would do so I could salvage these particular works and share these with others before the tapes and tape players deteriorated completely and before the world of analog recording becomes completely obsolete. Most are not true books because they are abridgements. When I first started collecting these audiobooks, unabridged books on tape were either very rare or extremely costly. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit.

    Chrichton is one of the best authors the world has ever known in my humble opinion. So sad that he is no longer with us. They say we die two times, once when we stop breathing and once the last time our name is ever said. He will live on for ages still.

      Absolutely. For this generation, Joe Abercrombie is my favorite. If you like grim dark fantasy, start with The First Law trilogy, the first book being The Blade Itself. It's also free here on TH-cam and the narrator is just as good as Victor Garber was on this story. If you check it out, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It really is magnificent.

    Is anyone aware of the theory that they were fighting Neanderthals? Or maybe some kind of hybrid humanoid species? I read some interesting material on that, basically saying that a genus of prior humanoid species survived in the far north away from modern humans after the rest of their kind had been push out or bred into modern humans. Very fascinating, to think that a real life monster story could be true. It's certainly believable considering we know there is Neanderthal dna in people near that region, so my thoughts are the first true humans to breed with true Neanderthal would create a 50/50 hybrid race, watered down of generations yes, but if a pocket of them survived up north, possibly inbreeding as well, could create a type of human that resembles the eaters of the dead.

      To be fair, Banderas is Spanish. The Iberian Peninsula was under Islamic rule for much of the Middle Ages, it was a province called Andalusia, there was inter-marriage and strong cultural influence. So, it isn't far-fetched to have an Iberian looking man as an Islamic envoy for the Caliph.

    Ibn Fadlan is the ONLY person to testify to a lot of degenerate stuff that no one has ever seen 'vikings' do besides him. Ibn Fadlan was a propagandist, however. And he met a group of Rus, not norsemen. He also said they had writing from the Quran painted on their flesh in green ink. From this Hollywood has taken it to mean they had tattoos, when in reality he was saying straight up they had writing from the Quran written on them in green ink. He knew what tattoos were. He didn't say tattoos. Also there's no such thing as green ink for tattoos and wasn't until about ten years ago, so it certainly wasn't a tattoo. He also brought up a lot of other out of character stuff. It was all probably propaganda because his job was to basically travel the world and tell the Islamic world how savage we all are without Islam.

      The vast majority of what he notes everyone agrees the vikings did. A general apathy toward nakedness and sexual matters, their uproarious and violent personalities, their tradition of washing their faces in the same washbasin along with the spitting and blowing their noses into it, their high level of superstition. If you think Fadlan is just pandering to the Muslim culture go to the official website of the University of Cambridge. They have free PDFs detailing Frankish and English journals and treatises marking the habits of the vikings. Every account agrees they were in truth one of the most violent and filthy groups of people to exist. It is actually modern Western culture that has propagated the vikings to seem the paragon of civil rights, cleanliness, women's rights, and tolerance. They were not. They were incredibly racist and xenophobic towards any peoples that are not their own. They have a long history of demanding a respect of their traditions, while at the same time spitting on everyone else's. They were such POSs to everyone around them that countries that HATED each other have allied to put an end to their raiding, murdering, plundering, and (even though people like you deny it) their systemically ingrained rape culture. I guess you getting triggered made me triggered, however it annoys tf outta me when the ignorant viking dick riders act like the vikings were the most progressive culture to exist.
