Sleipnir — Linda Evans

A man's got to do what a man's got to do

He didn't pick this fight. He didn't even choose to own the knife; the knife chose him. And then, from a distance and still in its casing, the knife killed his best friend. That's what started it: Arabs with AK's in the middle of a US missile farm in Germany, where they had no business being, except the knife put them there.

But the knife left a trace of its true owner, Odin Far Seer. From that trace our hero begins a quest, not for gold and not for glory, but for vengeance. Vengeance against the gods themselves. He will travel into the bowels of the Earth, into the very Hell of Norse mythology, and he will have vengeance in full measure--but vengeance is only the beginning. For in the end, Randy Barnes has been summoned by the Fates, not to destroy the gods but to save them from Ragnarok--and save the rest of us, too.
