Soon, Jens becomes more skeptical and frustrated at the life he has fallen into and realizes he s haunted by the ghost of his great-grandfather, and the ghost of things he has always wanted to do, but has been too afraid to accomplish. His sister, Sigrid, who works as an administrator at a local nursing home, suggests he meet with a resident, a cantankerous, old Norsky named Torbjorn Ruud. After a few meetings, the old Norsky warms up to Jens and Torbjorn begins telling him incredible stories of growing up in Norway, life in the merchant marine, coming to America with his brother, Odd, and getting mixed up with Norwegian gangsters. An adventure begins on Lake Superior to the remote Isle Royale. Ultimately, gold, piracy, and the storm of the century converge on unforgiving Lake Superior. Norwegian heritage and history is woven throughout the novel with an amazing adventure on Lake Superior.

Review

John Eric Nystul's Book "Torbjorn's Gold" is a quick read, but one that's guaranteed to activate your imagination. Well written with believable characters and a good dose of humor, you'll want to read it in one sitting. A warm befriending develops into a deep bond between two strangers. This leads to a fantastic trip to Lake Superior's remote island of Isle Royale. Is the course that our hero follows real or a flight of fancy? Sprinkled with legend and history, you'll be taken along for a ride you won't soon forget. --Paul Hayden, Publisher, Lake Superior Magazine
