book review: "Eaters of the Dead" by Michael Crichton

EATERS OF THE DEAD
Michael Crichton

Ibn Fadlan, a Muslim, becomes a reluctant member and chronicler of a company of Northmen, more commonly known as Vikings, as they battle with the wendol, the eaters of the dead. A blend of history, adventure, and the supernatural in one novel – what else can one ask for? I have previously found Norse history and mythology uninteresting, but maybe I just needed to read other books, like this one.
