The Savage Wilderness

Series:

Setting: Shetlands, Scotland, Iceland and America

Period: 890 to 950

Desperate times cause for desperate measures and when the Clan of the Fox flees, first Northumberland and then Iceland, the Viking warriors have no idea of the world they will find when they sail across the endless ocean.
It is not just the sea and the weather which tries to kill them it is the animals in the land that they find and it is the Skraeling, the natives who see them as a threat from the east. The clan flees danger but finds more in this new world in the west.
When divisions emerge in the clan then it seems as though they are doomed to die in this savage wilderness.
This is Book Three of the New World saga.


Originally I planned this as a three-book series but the characters refused to allow that and there will be at least one more book in the series. What is interesting is the number of e-mails I have had from readers with evidence of the Vikings as far west as the Dakotas and Minnesota. I have thoroughly enjoyed the what-if aspect of this series for there is, for once, virtually no written evidence of what their life might have been like. The Icelandic sagas tell of them finding the new world and how they came across the Skraeling but that is all.
