The Last Viking reads like the sagas on which it is based. It's
Beowulf on steroids, laced with purple prose...This book is great
fun. - Gerard DeGroot, The Times Harald Sigurdsson burst into
history as a teenaged youth in a Viking battle from which he
escaped with little more than his life and a thirst for vengeance.
But from these humble origins, he became one of Norway's most
legendary kings. The Last Viking is a fast-moving narrative account
of the life of King Harald Hardrada, as he journeyed across the
medieval world, from the frozen wastelands of the North to the
glittering towers of Byzantium and the passions of the Holy Land,
until his warrior death on the battlefield in England. Combining
Norse sagas, Byzantine accounts, Anglo-Saxon chronicles, and even
King Harald's own verse and prose into a single, compelling story,
Don Hollway vividly depicts the violence and spectacle of the late
Viking era and delves into the dramatic events that brought an end
to almost three centuries of Norse conquest and expansion.
