Summary

If you like Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian, David Gemmell, and Simon Scarrow, you will love this Viking adventure saga packed with battles, vengeance, blood, and gore.

The third installment of Peter Gibbons' gripping series of Viking adventures.

873 AD. The Viking Age grips Northern Europe. Seven years have passed since the ferocious sea battle with Ivar the Boneless, and Hundr is now a Viking war leader of reputation and wealth. A voice from the past calls to Hundr for aid, and he must take his loyal crew and their feared warships across the Whale Road to Viking Dublin, in a vicious and brutal fight against Eystein Longaxe. 

Hundr must fight against an implacable and powerful enemy amidst brutal attacks, shield wall battles, and treachery. Will his skill and savagery be enough, and can Hundr and his crew survive? Find out in this unputdownable, fast-paced adventure with memorable characters. 

Axes for Valhalla continues the unmissable Viking historical fiction saga series which began with Peter Gibbons' debut novel Viking Blood and Blade.

What a saga!

This kept getting in the way of life as I just had to listen to one more chapter!
Gripping and descriptive, I was right there with them to the crescendo of the final chapter.
Brilliantly written and narrated.

Action and characters you can invest in

Non stop fun with characters you you can buy in to. Superbly read and well worth a credit. There seems to be so many average to poor Viking stories over the last few years but well done Mr Gibbons you got my attention with the first book and continue to do so

It didn’t go past chapter 6

This recording seemed perfectly fine until it reached almost the end of chapter 6 and then stopped, it wouldn’t go any further forward so I started again from the beginning only for it to stop in the same place. It appears that there is nothing I can do about this as there is nowhere that I can lodge a complaint. If this situation is not resolved I will not be buying any further audio books.

Repetitive

This, the third instalment, doesn’t quite live up to the previous two books. I struggled to believe some of the plot points, and whilst the narration was superb, I became irritated by the constant repetition of certain elements from the previous two books.
