Description
The thrilling new Whale Road Chronicles Viking adventure. Einar and the Wolf Coats venture south, but danger and bloodshed is never far away.
Einar and the Wolf Coats have angered most of the kings of Northern Europe. With England no refuge, their only solution is to set sail across the Whale Road.
A chance encounter with a slave trader leads them to Muslim Spain, but what starts as a joyous homecoming for one of the crew ends in the Caliph's infamous dungeons.
The Mediterranean proves a perilous sea. Byzantine warships roam, armed with liquid fire that can torch man and ship alike. Viking mercenaries and pirate lords alike spill blood for gold or glory.
With a chance to retake his stolen kingdom of Orkney, Einar must first save an innocent life... and risk his own and those of his crew once more.

The Wolf Coats end up in hot water along the Whale Road.
The Wolf Coats venture into sunnier climes really does lead them into hot water as as they end up coerced into tackling Pirates after an encounter with Greek fire. For a couple of the crew it’s a family reunion but for all it’s a deadly mission that promises high reward if successful. It comes at a cost in this action adventure that takes you from cover to cover in no time at all. Good book and I enjoyed it.

Yet another super book in the series about Einar and the Wolf Coats. I can only liken them to Viking Special Forces - deadly professional soldiers who are more than happy to operate behind enemy lines, skillfully blending in with the local environment to stay undercover. (Perhaps an ancient Special Boat Service!)
This book in the saga follows the disparate group of warriors into the Mediterranean and to Andaluz and beyond. Fantastic battle scenes, very gory, keeping you on the edge of your seat until the end. The author introduces us to the use of Greek Fire, a secret substance that acts like napalm against enemy ships and soldiers. This horrific weapon was widely used by the Byzantines, with its composition still unknown.
As before, I can highly recommend this book and the rest of the series.
