moonpost reviewed The Long Ships by Frans Gunnar Bengtsson (Röde Orml New York Review Books Classics)
An epic tale of viking adventures
5 stars
As a fan of much Viking-related fare (the video game "Valheim," the TV show "Vikings" to name a few), I was a bit surprised to have not heard much related to this rip-roaring novel of Red Orm. Now that I've finished it, I can say that I'm very satisfied and will be highly recommending this book to others. It might even live right next to The Count of Monte Cristo in terms of outlandish adventures to thrill the imaginative mind.
