About this listen

The world is barely holding on. A century after a series of apocalyptic events, humanity is struggling to survive. In the frigid north of Scandinavia, people have returned to farming, fishing, and fighting amongst themselves, living as their ancient Viking ancestors once did. But their days in the world are numbered. The last tattered remnants of humankind have become barren. No new live births have occurred in over a decade. When the remaining population dies, the human race will end.

When a call goes out to the greatest fighters in the North, men capable of surviving a long journey and crushing any obstacle in their path, a young female berserker named Val takes up the challenge. With her eyes hidden behind red-lens goggles, she violently proves her worth, seizes control of a small band of fellow berserkers, and heads south to claim her prize: the first glimmer of hope for a tomorrow.

Traveling deep into the wastes of Europe, surrounded by dangerous landscapes and the mutated creatures that populate them, they find themselves pursued by enemies determined to stop them at all costs. Attacked from without and betrayed from within, Val fights for the future, and if she fails, humanity fails along with her.

Jeremy Robinson and Kane Gilmour imagine a world that has survived multiple apocalyptic events, mixing the savagery of the History Channel's Vikings with the frenetic chase scenes of Mad Max, resulting in a high-octane battle raging across Europe with the fate of humanity at stake.

Monsters, combat, and of course, Vikings!

Any additional comments?

A post-apocalyptic quest adventure set sometime in the indeterminant future, this book has it all: monsters, combat, and of course, Vikings. Summoned for a mission with nothing less than the fate of the world at stake, a savage group of warriors are gathered for a dangerous journey across Europe. Since the technologically of the age has atrophied, travel isn't much easier than it was in the original Viking age. Brutal opponents target the team at every turn, and then there are the monsters. Whatever caused the world's depopulation and technological backslide generated dangerous radiation. And this radiation did horrible things to the wildlife which survived the cataclysm.

All told, this is an amazing beginning to a new series. I'm already anxious to read the next book.

Cool Concept

Robinson and Gilmour created one hell of a masterpiece with book one of their Berserker Saga. Not only was the idea of Scandinavian people returning to their viking roots cool, the story itself is brilliantly executed and results in a great listening experience. This novel definitely lands in the "must listen" category.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Vikings!!!

In a ravaged world, in the wilds of Scandinavia, their is a civilisation that has survived..... barely. They are barren, with no live births in over a decade. A scientist has put a call out for the greatest warriors because there is hope for humanity, but it's in Italy, and with no way to get there quickly or safely, it's an important but extremely dangerous mission.

Val is determined to lead the mission, and with proving her worth in a battle, she is tasked with bringing the genetic material back from Italy. Along with a small group of Vikings, Val sets out with some provisions and the few quads they have managed to keep running. But the world is totally different than what they are used to and the group have to contend with mutated animals and groups of gangs. Can they make it or will this be the death of them?

I devoured this book!! It was absolutely brilliant!! Comparing it to "the savagery of the History Channel’s Vikings with the frenetic chase scenes of Mad Max" sums this up perfectly. I adored the Viking group, especially Val and Ulrick. Val was such a kick ass character and her second in command Ulrick was the same. Ulrick respects Val in a way none of the others do. He backs up her decisions and Val comes to rely on him too.

Right from the start, we are brought into the action and taken on an unforgettable journey. The world these authors have created was brutal, deadly and oh so good!! The team have to learn new things as they go, have to learn to work together and most importantly, learn to trust each other, and I loved seeing that play out. Things don't always work smoothly, but I loved how Val does her best for all her men.

In all, this was an action packed, adventurous and extremely fun book to read. I've always loved reading about the Vikings, and when you add in a creature feature, I knew I'd love this, and love it I did!! Filled with amazing characters, danger at every turn, deception and plenty of action, this is a must read for everyone!!! I really hope we get to see Val and Ulrick again soon.

What can I about Jeffrey Kaffers performance that I haven't said before?? Every book he reads, he brings his "A" game. He read this well and his accents were actually pretty good. I say that because he had to do quite a few different ones here and they were great. He is so easy to listen to and nails the performance.

Dystopia on a global scale.

How any of the characters survive for long in this world of choas is amazing. So many how did they get through that.

Fresh take on the post apocalyptic world

Hundreds of years after the genocide of most people on the planet a group of Viking warriors now living in the old ways of the north set out on quest to save humanity. I really enjoyed this story and want more from this world.

Who doesn't love Vikings?!

Pleasantly surprised. Action packed quest story centered around Vikings in a mad max style world. Fun listen, great narration. Not much back story on the characters and at first I thought it would make the characters flat and very one dimensional but it didn't feel that way at all.

Action Packed!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a Conan the Barbarian style story. The book delivered on the barbarian style savage action and then took it a step further by setting the story in a future post apocalypse with monsters. The world that Robinson and Gilmour created is an interesting and unique theory of what a distant apocalyptic future might look like and that is what brings the whole story

What did you like best about this story?

I liked that the heroes weren't overly strong and that the author made it known early on that nobody was safe. Also, the pacing worked pretty well, the book didn't linger anywhere and the groups trials seemed to be well spread out.

What does Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Jeffrey Kafer's narration fit the Viking tone very well. He spoke clearly and firmly with well placed emphasis and timing during action scenes.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme emotional reactions, there are a few moments in fight scenes that get a reaction though.

Any additional comments?

I was given a copy of this recorded book at my request in order to write an unbiased review.
I wasn't sure exactly what to expect from this book, but it surprised me in a good way. It was just fun to listen too, like an action movie in book form. The world that Robinson and Gilmour created is an interesting and unique theory of what a distant apocalyptic future might look like and that is what brings the whole story together for me. I plan to keep an eye out for the next in the series.

The Vikings have returned

Wasn't to sure about this one but sounded interesting. Very glad I gave it a try because I found a good fast paced storyline that was easy to follow and not to hard to believe in. This takes place far in a post apocalyptic future version of Europe. Lots of interesting landmarks as we go on an adventure with a group of Viking warriors on a mission to save the human race. This story is complete in itself and leaves you ready for the next book in the series.

Jeffrey Kafer did an excellent job narrating this story. Hadn't heard him before but will look for him again.

Viking Dystopia

A truly unique dystopian story where it seems like a mix of modern and 1000 year old Vikings. I enjoyed this story as it played to my imagination based on the History Channel series "Vikings" - if they had ATV's. Jeffrey Kafer is one of Audible's best narrators and consistently performed flawlessly.
