Why Vikings?

Jan 05, 2021

Why Write about Vikings? - by Rob Shackleford As part of my perpetual drive for better exposure as an author, and hopefully to allow promotion and sale of my books, an activity my Publisher is failing to engage in, I have to bite the bullet and write more blogs. So, why Vikings? My first three novels, Traveller Inceptio, Traveller Probo and Traveller Manifesto are a gentle science-fiction and historical fiction blend that start with the premise that a device was invented that would allow people from our age to be transported back in time, but strictly 1000 years only.

I am a sucker for a great time travel story. Rob Shackleford has done his research and the result is a rousing adventure with a great premise. Alternating the chapters that take place now with chapters that occur in England of a thousand years ago is a great way to keep the pace and flow moving ahead.

But he also must f… Read more
