About the Creator

Scott McCormick: When he’s not flustering emus or stymying mambas, Scott McCormick enjoys annoying his children until they tell their mother. He also writes. He writes all kinds of stuff. Some of it is good. He wrote the Mr. Pants series of graphic novels. Those were good. You should totally check them out. So are the books he writes for Audible, including Rivals! Frenemies Who Changed the World, and its sequel, Rivals 2. He’s also excited about his first novel, The Dragon Squisher, which is just as funny and squishy as it sounds. Scott lives on the western edge of the easternmost part of southern North Carolina, right smack in the middle of it all.

As usual Scott makes history fun. I felt for the guy trying to type up on the rock stone; been there, done that. While these stories are based on true stories it told like a Monty Python movie ‘it’s only a flesh wound’. I wonder if the Red Funeral inspired GOT’s Red Wedding, it was very similar. Productions is great, very easy to listen to. In the How to Train your Dragon series they always have meetings called The Thing, which always cracked me up. Now I know it was based with real Viking history.

Berserk abound.

This tome was both engaging and entertaining. It is a terrific way to study historical facts while laughably following the story lines. Audio drama brings centuries old characters to life once again.
