Story
March, AD 773. Bjarki Bloodhand is now Fire Born - a legendary berserker inhabited by the ferocious spirit of a bear in battle. Yet he has sworn never again to allow that sacred rage to possess him, lest he for ever lose himself in the madness like his father. Tor Hildarsdottir yearns to save pagan Saxony from the grip of the Christian Franks, who now occupy half the region. But she also has serious problems closer to home with her fast-growing pet bear cub, Garm, and, worse, she seems to be falling in love.

Lindisfarne, AD 793. There had been portents - famine, whirlwinds, lightning from clear skies, serpents seen flying through the air. But when the raiders came, no one was prepared. They came from the North, their dragon-prowed longships gliding out of the dawn mist as they descended on the kingdom's most sacred site. It is 8th June AD 793, and with the pillage of the monastery on Lindisfarne, the Viking Age has begun. While his fellow monks flee before the Norse onslaught, one young novice stands his ground.

Summary
The greatest warriors are forged in the flamesTwo pagan fighters.
771AD, Northern Europe. Bjarki Bloodhand and Tor Hildarsdottir are journeying south into Saxony. Their destination is the Irminsul, the One Tree that links the Nine Worlds of the Middle-Realm. In this most holy place, they hope to learn how to summon their animal spirits so they can enter the ranks of the legendary berserkir: the elite frenzied fighters of the North.
One Christian king
Karolus, newly crowned King of the Franks, has a thorn in his side: the warlike Saxon tribes on his northern borders who shun the teachings of the Church, blasphemously continuing to worship their pagan gods.
An epic battle for the soul of the North
The West's greatest warlord vows to stamp out his neighbours' superstitions and bring the light of the True Faith to the Northmen - at the point of a sword. It will fall to Bjarki, Tor and the men and women of Saxony to resist him in a struggle for the fate of all Europe.

Conan, but with Pagans and Christians
Proudly wears its inspirations on its sleeve, a bit of a historically accurate, winding epic. Plenty of historical detail in there, a bit Lord of the Rings in places with lists and environmental detail. Starts of slow with some good fights small battles and characters, a few nice twists in the middle and at the end! Plenty of good fights to get stuck into.

May be best to read this one yourself
I’m a fan of the author and I’ve read this book already. Covid came visiting and I thought tell you what I’ll listen to Berserker with that credit I’ve got on auditable as I need something easy listening whilst I recuperate.
It’s anything but easy listening, the deadpan performance by the narrator will do this great story no good at all on audible and it’s such a shame.
Great stories from the author so if you get the chance read them.

Great description of berserker concepts
Viking fiction all starts to sound the same after a while, but I like it in the background while I’m doing other things. This one was surprisingly refreshing and thoughtfully written. The narrator also enhances the experience by not trying too hard, like so many others do.
