I'm only just starting it. The surface premise is reasonable. I'll know more in a few weeks. I'm reading seven texts this semester in school.

The Invasion by Gerald Griffin. Vikings are invading Old Ireland. It is really interesting to read something written by a relative quite removed in time and space. I really understand the conflicted feelings he carried about his people [Irish], religion [Pagans/ Catholics], and government [how to throw out the Brits is the real question]. He's not a bad fantasy/ faux history writer but for me the cool part is to read someone whose thoughts were in part formed by my ancesters thoughts. Bottom line there is some damn good libertarian soliloquy buried in there. There is a difference in hero building compared to modern writers. In modern books heros arise when circumstances demand one. In this one, Elim (our hero) develops himself over time knowing that he's called to greatness. Interesting.
