Book Description
In the wild and inhospitable European far north, in the land of Scandinavian myth and runic legend, Viking warriors discover a child in a space capsule. Leif Haraldson adopts him and gives him the names of his gods: Thorgal Aegirsson, son of Thor (god of lightning) and son of Aegir (master of the sea). Upon Leif's death, the Viking chief Gandalf the Insane isolates Thorgal from others. Only the friendship of Aaricia, the daughter of Gandalf, brightens Thorgal's solitary childhood. Their mutual affection quickly turns into true love. The tale takes place in the seventh century and draws its narrative power from the imaginary world of magic spells and legends, where men and gods still mix. More than a simple adventure story, this series is a true apology for freedom and the fight against the arbitrary, because what stands out most in Thorgal's personality is his deep sense of humanity ...

Drafted into a war he has no desire to fight, infantryman Private Andersen's only goal is to make it out of World War I alive - a task made much more difficult when he's ordered to cross enemy lines on an explosive secret mission. His unit never makes it to their destination. Instead, they unwittingly free a group of ancient Viking Gods, imprisoned for centuries by Loki's children, Fenrir and Hel. Mad as hell and tearing for a fight, the Gods, led by brave Henrik, decide to conquer Earth and bring about Ragnarok. With a deadly skill for knotty subterfuge inherited from their legendary father, Loki's children have a few tricks left to play, and the fate of the world may rest on reluctant Andersen, thrust into yet another war with consequences on a mythic scale. Full of mystical battles, historical detail, and the power of human frailty, ingenuity, and heroism, BLOODY HEL gives new meaning to "the war to end all wars" with a shattering apocalyptic throwdown in the trenches, millennia in the making!
