The first major book on Vikings by a Scandinavian author to be published in English reframes the struggle for a North Sea empire and puts listeners in the mindset of Vikings, providing new insight into their goals, values, and what they chose to live and die for.

The Wolf Age takes listeners on a thrilling journey through the bloody shared history of England and Scandinavia, and on across early medieval Europe, from the wild Norwegian fjords to the wealthy cities of Muslim Andalusia.

Warfare, plotting, backstabbing, and bribery abound as Tore Skeie skillfully weaves sagas and skaldic poetry with breathless dramatization as he entertainingly brings the world of the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons to vivid life.

In the eleventh century, the rulers of the lands surrounding the North Sea are all hungry for power. To get power they need soldiers, to get soldiers they need silver, and to get silver there is no better way than war and plunder.

This vicious cycle draws all the lands of the North into a brutal struggle for supremacy and survival that will shatter kingdoms and forge an empire . . .

This is a masterful weaving into one synchronous, fascinating story of the many and varied developments during the Viking era among regions adjacent to the North Sea, and successfully makes sense of it all from a Scandinavian perspective.

Brilliant!

Great listen, for an understanding of the latter days of the Viking age. For any true lover of early English and Viking history.

Interesting account of the invasions of England by Scandinavians around 1000.
Would have been helpful if there was a .pdf of maps and list of the players.

I appreciate the Scandinavian POV enhances my understanding of the human history. This will be integrated in to my inquiry into world history.

Perspective matters

This is not story telling or history staring or insight provision. This is a list of dense facts into a book with no relief. May be for you, wasn’t for me.

So. Dense.
