Raven of the Waves

(2) YA In 794 C.E., a group of Norse raiders embarks on a perilous crossing in the swift new Raven to the Anglo-Saxon villages and new churches of Northumberland. Their raid, detailed here in all its brutality, exemplifies cultural conflict at its most basic. The third-person narration is a cool exploration, in a vivid historical reconstruction, of the psychology of violence.
