About the Author:

ROBERT LOW covered the Vietnam war at age 19 and swore he would never do anything as stupid ever again. Since then, he has earned his living as a journalist safely in Scotland, with occasional lapses of judgement taking him to Sarajevo, Romania and Kosovo until common-sense, age and the concerns of his wife and daughter prevailed.

Review:

`Narrated by Low with all the gritty, down-to-earth realism that breathed such life into his first novel, and shows just why historical fiction is one of today's most rapidly-growing genres'Yorkshire Evening Post Praise for The Whale Road 'A company of warriors, desperate battles, an enthralling read' Bernard Corwell 'A fantastic book, one of the best I have read for years. There's a wonderful earthiness to proceedings and he creates a tangible sense of being there. There's a sturdy, lyrical and epic quality about the writing which makes it feel like the kind of saga a Viking would recount in his old age'Simon Scarrow `A stirring Viking series of blockbuster battles and religious intrigue'Publishing News `All the right ingredients are firmly in place...above all there is the storyline itself; told in an earthy, rough-and-ready stylewhich perfectly compliments this saga for the 21st Century' Yorkshire Evening Post `A fascinating read' The Glasgow Herald `The Hangman humour of the band of sworn brothers gives Low's epic but brutal tale real humanity and the detail of 10th century life is wonderfully vivd. The action is fast and furious...shockingly believably so. Low's debut novel hits the mark with maximum impact' Bridlington Today
