'A fitting end to a trilogy that fans of Bernard Cornwell should devour. The big set-piece battle that completes the book is one of the best that I have ever read.' Antonia Senior, THE TIMES Fighting in Sweden for an ambitious warlord, Sigurd Haraldarson and his small but loyal band of oathsworn warriors are winning fame and reputation. But Sigurd knows that to take on his hated enemy, the oath-breaker King Gorm - the man who betrayed his father, a man Sigurd has vowed to kill - he must earn riches enough to build an army. Many believe Sigurd to be in-favoured, but his exploits have drawn the eye of another god, too- Loki the Trickster, and when a daring assassination attempt goes wrong, Sigurd finds himself a prisoner of the powerful Jarl Guthrum. Bound like a slave, his luck having seemingly deserted him, Sigurd is taken to the sacred temple at Ubsola, a place where the blood of human sacrifice flows to appease the gods. It is at Ubsola that Sigurd will face the sacrificial knife. And it is here that he will find a powerful relic, the great spear that was said to have once belonged to in himself. With such a spear in his possession Sigurd might now assemble a host strong enough to challenge King Gorm and wreak the revenge he craves. For, like in, Sigurd will be the Wild Huntsman tearing through the sky on his fearsome steed, and the rage of his passing will be the sound of wings of the storm. With Wings of the Storm, one of our finest young historical novelists brings his extraordinary Viking saga - an adventure to that is sure to satisfy any 'Game of Thrones' fan - to a triumphant close… (mehr)

A quite brilliant read from first to last page, and much to my disgust the last of a trilogy, but why stop there Giles, Sigurd is still a young man not yet even in his prime, why not follow Bernard Cornwell's example with "Uhtred" who is positively ancient by the standards of the time still going strong and recently survived book 10.
As previously stated this is the final part of a trilogy, but don't fear if you have not read the previous books(though WHY NOT) this can be read as a stand alone book. Well written and with outstanding characterisations throughout a real sense of time and place, and action packed, in fact the battle when our heroes army comes face to face with his nemesis the oath breaker lasts 84 pages, of almost non stop action, you almost feel a part of the shield wall full of the blood and gore of close up hand to hand combat.
Outstanding and heartily recommended. ( )
