If you like Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian, David Gemmell, and Simon Scarrow, you will love this Viking adventure saga packed with battles, vengeance, blood, and gore.

The third installment of Peter Gibbons' gripping series of Viking adventures.

873 AD. The Viking Age grips Northern Europe. Seven years have passed since the ferocious sea battle with Ivar the Boneless, and Hundr is now a Viking war leader of reputation and wealth. A voice from the past calls to Hundr for aid, and he must take his loyal crew and their feared warships across the Whale Road to Viking Dublin, in a vicious and brutal fight against Eystein Longaxe.

Hundr must fight against an implacable and powerful enemy amidst brutal attacks, shield wall battles, and treachery. Will his skill and savagery be enough, and can Hundr and his crew survive? Find out in this unputdownable, fast-paced adventure with memorable characters.

Axes for Valhalla continues the unmissable Viking historical fiction saga series which began with Peter Gibbons' debut novel Viking Blood and Blade.

You’re right about that but the only way I could do that would probably have been a couple hours of sleep in a little while

A good story, not complicated nor surprising with solid characters and motivations. One could easily make a streaming series of the books without having to cut storylines or characters. The best word to describe the trilogy is “simple” but I do not intend that as an insult. This is a fun trilogy of going a Viking and indulging in all the blood, glory and silver that comes with it. I really enjoyed the ride!

Solid characters, prime for TV

Peter Gibbons nailed it again in Book 3 of the Viking Blood and Blade Saga. So much action and conflict, well narrated and great listening too!

Book 3 continues an excellent story!

Not sure how this author still makes you love and hate all these characters but he does! Hundr makes foolish decision after foolish decision. I’m hoping book 4 and beyond stops with the petty annoying woe is my crap that the author keeps doing to Hundr but overall his adventures and brutality on the battle field keep me griped. Keeps you guessing too. Love the series. Already bought book 4!! Keep them going!

Book 3 And Keeps Getting Better!

Story and characters are excellent and battle scenes seem realistic. Not that I've been in that sort of battle.

Great

If you like the first book (I skipped book 2), then you will like this one as it is pretty much more of the same: Mostly descriptive text without much dialog where the limited range of narration is not as much of a factor as it could have been. In addition, it is littered with anachronistic terms that may distract some if you are going for authenticity, but as leisure entertainment is wasn't too bad (and was actually an improvement over book 1). Think of it as something to play while doing something else and it should work fairly well, especially since this was an more interesting story than the previous book.

The basic idea in this story was an appeal by a former flame for help saving her son and heir from various royal plots and maneuvering ... with a betrayal or two thrown in just to bring home the brutality of the age. With all the players already introduced, there wasn't as much character building and introspection (which was a relief as such tended to make the characters less likely wherever that happened). Instead, the personal interactions felt [a little] more natural and believable this time around, but there is still plenty of room for improvement. As an historical fantasy, there will always be a certain amount of suspension of disbelief required, and the author doesn't seem to take it so far that such was not possible ... but it was a close call.

I was given this free review copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
