The year is A.D. 922. A refined Arab courtier, representative of the powerful Caliph of Baghdad, encounters a party of Viking warriors who are journeying to the barbaric North. He is appalled by their Viking customs - the wanton sexuality of their pale, angular women, their disregard for cleanliness...their cold-blooded human sacrifices. But it is not until they reach the depths of the Northland that the courtier learns the horrifying and inescapable truth: he has been enlisted by these savage, inscrutable warriors to help combat a terror that plagues them - a monstrosity that emerges under cover of night to slaughter the Vikings and devour their flesh....
Eaters of the Dead was adapted to the screen as The 13th Warrior, starring Antonio Banderas.

But still, I crave reading his books!
His later books are filled with terrible language and vulgarities - I stopped reading them when that started, so I was glad to get back to an old one like this which is clean and fascinating - If mildly irritating for readers who like stories to have an ending.
If you like his novels, you’ll enjoy this

I have read it several times and out is always excellent and a moving story.
Simon Vance has once again impressed me with his storytelling and his portrayal of the main characters as believable and that they grow to care about each other is more obvious.
The storyline would make a great cramp fire story for kids, minus adult themes!
Great Book

Basically a bored, dry scholar’s recount of an interesting story….
And frankly if I have to hear the word ‘verily’ or ‘I saw with my own eyes’ ONE MORE TIME I’m going to KILL someone myself. THREE TIMES in two paragraphs….and it goes on like this through the entire book.
Good idea….poor execution

I love the narrative inserts of the researcher who is following along with Ibns story.
That little added voice of apparent fact and science make the story feel more plausible and real.
13th Warrior fans best be showing up
