game' Giles Kristian, author of the Raven series 'Donald delivers a
masterclass' Theodore Brun, author of A Burning Sea 'A gory,
gleeful treat' The Times The greatest warriors are forged in the

'Donald has taken the legendary berserkers, those
frothing-at-the-mouth shield-biters, and made them human, which
once again proves that Donald is a writer not only at the top of
his game, but of the game ... It is a wonderful, rich and violent
brew. I welcome Angus Donald to the shield wall of Viking fiction
like a thirsty man welcomes a mead-brother to the feast ... A tale
worthy of the skalds' Giles Kristian, author of the Raven series
'With The Last Berserker, Donald has given us the first cut of some
serious Dark Age beef. By turns heart-racing, intriguing, and
touching, this is not a book for the faint-hearted - I can't wait
for more' Theodore Brun, author of A Burning Sea 'The Last
Berserker strikes with the thundering power of Thor's hammer...
rich with the earthy depth, historical detail, intrigue, violence
and adventure that we expect from Donald. But it is Bjarki and Tor
that make The Last Berserker stand out... Donald's masterful
creations will live on in the imagination long after the final
page' Matthew Harffy, author of the Bernicia Chronicles 'A
wonderful, blood-soaked tale of redemption and revenge, set amidst
the eighth century clash of civilisations between Pagan Vikings and
Christian Franks, by a master of the genre' Saul David, author of

tidal wave of Charlemagne's expansion. Great characters,
brilliantly paced and explosive, gritty battle-scenes. Highly
recommended' John Gwynne, author of Malice 'Well researched detail
and stunning battle scenes make The Last Berserker a white knuckle
ride. A thrilling, up-all-night read' C. R. May, author of The Day
of the Wolf 'I loved it. Bjarki and Tor are great characters,
instantly relatable. The depth of the immersion in their world and
their values gives the book authenticity and weight' Cecelia
