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
Particularly fascinating... [Parker] proves expert at treading a delicate line between scholarship and his relish for the fantastical.
Tom Holland, The Times
Perfectly timed for the forthcoming British Museum exhibition.
Sunday Times
Philip Parker has encapsulated the Viking story in this book.
CGA Magazine
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
[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.
Martin Arnold, Literary Review
This book is a treasury with treats galore. Lucid, comprehensive, it is a work of reference which deserves to become a classic.
