Excerpt From Book
They hail from a culture unlike any other this part of the world has seen. They are bred on warfare, pillaging, and plundering. Physically they are monstrous specimens of men. They wield heavy and deadly weapons and they are some of the most efficient and violent fighters the world has ever seen. They are ruthless warriors that strike fear into the enemy. They are Vikings for hire. They are the elite Special Forces in service to a foreign ruler. They conquer unruly territories across the great Byzantine Empire. This is the true story of the Varangian Guard and the legendary rise of Harald Hardrada. Hardrada will develop tactics that will transform warfare across the Mediterranean. Hardrada’s string of improbable yet ingenious victories will show the Varangian Guard to be one of the most elite and talented warrior classes that history has ever known.
