Undead Vikings in Love (Paperback)

Cursed by their gods, isolated on an island in the north Atlantic, two Viking armies fight every day to the death of the last man. Raised from the dead, night after night, they resume the slaughter with every dawn. The gods have a wager on the outcome. Freyja caught in an indiscretion with a few dwarves is trying to prove something, unclear though her premise is, about the infinite, undying purity of true love. However, fighting the same battles against the same enemies for 1200 years has left the warriors more than a little demotivated. They have begun, for the most part, to phone in their daily quota of gut-spilling mayhem. Freyja, bored and frustrated with the lack of effort, calls on Loki to help shake things up. He does. He lures a dysfunctional group of students from Blackwood University, an obscure university on the northeastern U.S. seaboard, to the island on which the endless war has been ongoing. The students along with the captain and crew of the Ferret, a for-hire oceanographic survey ship, join a 16th century Spanish conquistador, an ex-waitress from Valhalla and a trio of Wisconsin fishermen, They've been brought to the island by Loki to "spice things up"-and they do. Stylish, violent, humorous, cynical and sometimes poignant Undead Vikings in Love explores teenage angst, gay love, straight love, witchcraft, the cult of the hero and humankind's hopeless struggle to figure out what the heck the gods are up to. A great story and a great adventure with a great cast of characters and a unique perspective, Undead Vikings in Love is a very funny novel about love--undead and otherwise.
