Raider’s Wake: A Novel of Viking Age Ireland

The Norsemen Saga, Book 6

By: James L. Nelson

Narrated by: Shaun Grindell

After the treachery and slaughter they met during the raid on Glendalough, Thorgrim Night Wolf and his small band of surviving Northmen have returned to Vik-lo, where Thorgrim again sits as lord of the Viking longphort. But the Northmen are a restless lot, and soon they find themselves eager to put to sea. Loading weapons and supplies aboard the four longships under Thorgrim's command, they set out in search of the rich merchant ships that now ply Irish waters. But not all cargoes are the same, nor all merchant captains easy targets for the Norse raiders. Crossing wakes with a Frisian shipmaster who could be Thorgrim's equal in seamanship and cunning, the Northmen soon find themselves seeking vengeance even as they fight to keep from a watery grave.

loving this series

the Norseman Saga is a great series. It seems like many stories of Vikings do not cover Ireland that much.

Enjoyed the book.

So far I’ve been very happy with my purchases within this series. It’s a fun listen, and I will be starting the next book in the series today. In this book characters from previous books make an appearance who might not be expected.

Another great adventure! Can’t wait for the next! This would make an amazing Netflix series!

Can’t say there was anything I didn’t like, maybe a bit slow to start. But not bad

a great continuation of a wonderful saga

a wonderful saga that brings you in and provides an gripping tale of a father and his son. one well experience in the world and one learning to grow.

Another great chapter of the Norsemen Saga.

The author's Mariner background really shines in this book. Another captivating novel. I can't wait for the next book!
