The Ship in the Sand

By: William L. Sullivan

Narrated by: William L. Sullivan

Harald Bluetooth, the first king of a united Denmark, was a Viking with a conscience. When an English king slaughtered his daughter in a genocidal attack, the Danes took over the English throne. A thousand years later, the English returned the favor by freeing Denmark from the tyranny of the German Nazis.

This historical novel alternates chapters between the two eras, following the Danish archaeologist Mette Anderson as she struggles to help her Jewish fiance in World War I. Meanwhile in the Viking age, a sorceress spies for three kings but also serves a mysterious deeper purpose at the behest of the Norse gods. Who is right, and who will win? Only the gods and the archaeologists seem to know.

2nd of series

This book is as good if not better than the first one. I love the way the chapters are alternating, and the two stories really mesh. The magical elements added to this story was fun. looking forward to the 3rd book.
