Gods of Fire and Thunder

In the first four volumes of the Book of the Gods, Fred Saberhagen brought a new perspective to the classic gods and heroes of Greek mythology. Now the legendary creator of the Berserker and Lost Swords sagas turns his gaze northward toward an entirely different pantheon of immortal dieties . . . the fearsome and ferocious gods of Valhalla.Haraldur the Northman wants nothing more to do with the gods and adventureuntil he comes across an imprenetrable wall of eldritch fire and a lovesick youth determined to breach the wall at any cost. Behind the towering flames, Haraldur is told, lies a beautiful Valkyrie trapped in an enchanting sleep, and, perhaps, a golden treasure beyond mortal reckoning. It is the gold that tempts Hal as he agrees, against his better judgement, to assist the youth in his quest.But to find a way past the fiery wall, they must first brave gnomes, ghosts, and the wrath of Wodan, the all-mighty Lord of Battles!Saberhagen, Fred is the author of 'Gods of Fire and Thunder', published 2002 under ISBN 9780765302014 and ISBN 0765302012.
