About this listen

After the treachery and slaughter they met during the raid on Glendalough, Thorgrim Night Wolf and his small band of surviving Northmen have returned to Vik-lo, where Thorgrim again sits as lord of the Viking longphort. But the Northmen are a restless lot, and soon they find themselves eager to put to sea. Loading weapons and supplies aboard the four longships under Thorgrim's command, they set out in search of the rich merchant ships that now ply Irish waters. But not all cargoes are the same, nor all merchant captains easy targets for the Norse raiders. Crossing wakes with a Frisian shipmaster who could be Thorgrim's equal in seamanship and cunning, the Northmen soon find themselves seeking vengeance even as they fight to keep from a watery grave.

the Norseman Saga is a great series. It seems like many stories of Vikings do not cover Ireland that much.

Can’t say there was anything I didn’t like, maybe a bit slow to start. But not bad

Another great adventure! Can’t wait for the next! This would make an amazing Netflix series!

So far I’ve been very happy with my purchases within this series. It’s a fun listen, and I will be starting the next book in the series today. In this book characters from previous books make an appearance who might not be expected.

Enjoyed the book.

I have read or listened to all the books in this series and enjoyed them thoroughly. If you like historical fiction from this period of time I think you'll like them too. The maritime and battle depictions are very realistic. The Narrator does a very good job with the accents and speaks in a very clear and distinguished voice. Good stuff!!!

loved it!!

Maybe too many stories colliding with each other. Confused me a little, at the end you get it.

The fact that the story makes you hope the Vikings win 😂😂😂

There isn't one bad book in the series, but Raiders Wake had me breathless with the descriptive visuals, long ships crashing into each other, white slavery. Wow. Well done, highly recommended!

MESMORIZING. CAN'T STOP LISTENING.
