It is quite a feat to write history this good... Everyone who visits the British Museum's Viking exhibition should go clutching a copy of this engaging and splendidly written book.
Dan Jones, Sunday Times
Parker has a traveller's eye for landscape and a storyteller's sense of events and character; The Northmen's Fury is probably the most lively and well-informed introduction to the subject available today.
New Statesman
Particularly fascinating... [Parker] proves expert at treading a delicate line between scholarship and his relish for the fantastical.
Tom Holland, The Times
This book is a treasury with treats galore. Lucid, comprehensive, it is a work of reference which deserves to become a classic.
Historical Novel Society
Perfectly timed for the forthcoming British Museum exhibition.
Sunday Times
Philip Parker has encapsulated the Viking story in this book.
CGA Magazine
[An] energetic and intelligent guide to the Viking world.
A.N. Wilson, Sunday Telegraph
A detailed study that succeeds in conveying the impact of the Viking age... A fascinating read.
