Product Description

Product Description

Sergeant Steve Golburn, an Australian Special Air Service veteran, is tasked with a dangerous mission in Iraq, deep behind enemy lines. When Steve’s five man SAS patrol inadvertently spark a time portal, they find themselves in 10th century Viking Denmark. A place far more dangerous and lawless than modern Iraq. Join the SAS patrol on this action adventure into the depths of not only a hostile land, far away from the support of the Allied front line, but into another world…another time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just my idea of a good read 7 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I love Vikings and Dark Ages tales and I love time travel stories so this tale of an Australian SAS team who went back in time to Denmark in the Dark Ages attracted me from the start.

The first thing that was striking about this story is that the author clearly knew his stuff. The details of the SAS mission in Iraq was authentic and exciting and a damn good read.

The author had clearly done his research on the Norse and Vikings and their expansion into the Russia areas and even as far as Byzantium.

The details of the world which the SAS found them selves in was believable and accurate (I am a writer of Dark Ages fiction myself).

The only area where I believe that the author could have kicked the story up a notch was the reaction of the Norse to the SAS. When the soldiers opened fire with modern weaponry I just feel that the average dark ages person would have been terrified and been totally unsure how to react. He brings this isn later when the SAS ambush a party of warriors but I think a reaction from the villagers they first encounter would have been more profound.

Overall though, given the exciting and well developed fight scenes and the level of research I recommend this novel. Its is new and original and a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading 9 Jun 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is unusual in it's plot, but delivers plausible action. It is well written, and draws you in. The characters are well rounded, the action is non-stop, and the switch from modern day to a thousand years ago is (OK unbelievable) the great twist. I would have paid for this, and will look out for more from this author

4.0 out of 5 stars Good entertainment 16 Jan 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
For me this was an enjoyable quick read that could have held the prospect of more content (the overland return journey for example)
but overall entertaining with some credable/well researched content.

A bit of something different. I liked the story and the characters. The writing could do with a little polish though as there were numerous errors, but I still enjoyed the book.
