And So The Thunder Comes Nicholas Kennedy

Lubeck is a powerful Norseman who is innocently fishing when his ship is attacked and he is left injured. After he is pulled aboard a slave vessel, Lubeck pledges not to die chained to an oar, but instead to break free and find his son before he stands with his forefathers in Valhalla. After Lubeck and his shipmates manage to orchestrate an escape that washes them straight into the ocean and eventually onto a beach, Lubeck and his loyal companion, Thorsten, transform the former galley slaves into a formidable army. As they embark on a dangerous quest to rescue and recover their loved ones and to plot revenge against their slavers, Lubeck leads his Gurlemeck warriors from northern Viking territories to the equatorial tropics and through numerous battles. But when they are unwittingly drawn into a deceitful and traitorous power struggle that tests their abilities, courage, and determination, now only time will tell if they will persevere and complete their mission or die trying. In this heroic fantasy adventure, a band of escaped slaves set out on a perilous journey to find their
families and seek justice for their captors.
