King of Rogaland #6
It's 1022 AD. In Norway, the balance of power is poised between two mighty men — King Olaf, full of new ideas about central government, and Erling Skjalgsson, defender of the old democracy.
The Baldur Game #7

Viking Legacy
by the Norwegian scholar and historian Dr. Torgrim Titlestad. A groundbreaking book that makes two controversial claims. First, that the Icelandic sagas provide useful information that can be useful to historians, if handled with caution. Second, that we owe our western ideas of democracy at least as much to Viking legal tradition as to ancient Athens. (Translated into English by Lars Walker)
Death's Doors
Tom Galloway is a single father trying to keep his depressed daughter from committing legal suicide at the Happy Endings Clinic. The last thing he needs is a ninth-century Viking time traveler.

Wolf Time
There's something unnerving about the October north wind. It makes a wolf in the wilderness turn southward, in search of dangerous prey. It gets inside people's ears, opening their minds to bizarre ideas. It gets under their skin, inclining them to violence.
