Hi Mr. Cornwell. In a January 19th posting, Andy (no last name given) inquired about other historical fiction about vikings besdies the Uthred series. He should check out “Thunder God” by Paul Watkins, currently available from amazon.co.uk. Also, he should go to some used book services like alibris.com and abebooks.com for the Haakon series. This ran in the 80’s, and deals with the wanderings of a viking chieftan with a charmed battle-axe given to him by Thor, who travels from Contantinople to Vinland, among other places. They’re not bad, although I like Uhtred better. There are four books in the series: 1. Haakon: The Golden Axe. 2. Haakon: The Viking’s Revenge. 3. Haakon: Haakon’s Iron Hand, and 4. Haakon: The War God. Alan Kempner
