Seven kids, Thor's hammer, and a whole lot of Valkyries are the only things standing against the end of the world. When thirteen-year-olds Matt Thorsen and Fen and Laurie Brekke, modern-day descendants of Thor and Loki, discovered they were fated to take the places of the Norse gods in an epic battle against the apocalypse, they thought they knew how things would play out. Gather the descendants standing in for the gods, defeat a giant serpent, and save the world. No problem, right? But the descendants' journey grinds to a halt when their friend and descendant Baldwin is poisoned and killed and Matt, Fen, and Laurie must travel to the Underworld in the hopes of saving him. That's only their first stop on their journey to reunite the challengers, find Thor's hammer, and save humanity--a journey filled with enough tooth-and-nail battles and colossal monsters to make Matt and his friends a legend in their own right. Perfect for fans of ancient myths and filled with young heroes, monstrous beasts, and godly enemies, this fast-paced adventure is impossible to put down.

Raven and the Wolfpack have suffered. Good men have died, treasure has been lost. But to Norsemen such as these there is something more valuable than silver: fame. For fame is the saga-story that a warrior leaves behind when he dies. Now the Fellowship sails in search of Constantinople, which they call Miklagard, for it is there that they hope to find both riches and glory. It is a voyage that will lead them into unknown and dangerous waters - from the barren, wind-whipped marshes of the Carmargue to the crumbling walls and blood-drenched arenas of a decaying Rome, from brutal hand-to-hand conflict, to vile treachery and betrayal.

Ex-newspaper editor Jason Heppenstall, worn down by the constant drumbeat of dire news in the world, decides to set out on a journey in search of some answers. With not much more than some walking boots, a notebook and a wooden staff, he sets off from his old home in Copenhagen with a vague idea to "head north". It isn't long before a series of bizarre coincidences leads him to believe that his journey is being guided towards an ancient lake in Sweden where the Norse god Odin was once worshipped. Along the way he falls foul of the authorities, endures the wettest weather in living memory and meets a peculiar man of the forest who gives him a special gift. He discovers a modern day Sweden caught between a desire to do good in the world and one struggling to come to terms with the refugees from war-torn Syria and beyond. The writers of the two books in his pack become his two travel companions: one - Marcus Aurelius - is a Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher, the other - Bill Plotkin - is a modern-day American soul-quester, and the two of them together act as inner guides on this most unusual journey. A mixture of travel story, meditation, psychedelic adventure and spiritual quest The Path to Odin's Lake ponders the deeper meaning of being alive in a chaotic world and - ultimately - offers a vision of hope.

Odin's Crows is a cautionary tale of the pain caused by blindly pursuing material wealth and learning the value of true love, the hardest way possible. This is the story of the lifelong bond between Sandy Macleod, who was orphaned young, and his grandmother, Rose, a wily and spiritual woman who does her best to manage the wild impulses of her grandson. With her encouragement, Sandy opts for Queen's law as his route to the riches he covets. While at school he befriends Darren Brown, a cerebral college all-star goalie, while at the same time his closest friends from back in Thunder Bay, the uncontrollable Murdo MacRae and his kid brother, the destined-to-be famous Little Ray from Thunder Bay, begin their careers in professional hockey. Sandy parlays the friendships into hockey championships and money for all concerned. The friends' paths merge in Calgary's booming 1970's, where fortunes are made by means fair and foul. Sandy falls in with an unscrupulous oil-rich bible thumper while his grandmother and a wealthy-widow Holocaust survivor who becomes his mentor, conspire to intervene. Sandy's fortunes soar too close to the sun and his wildest dreams succeed at at price that threatens to destroy everything he knows to be important, including the love a beautiful young woman who can see into his heart. The story takes place during Canada's tumultuous Seventies, recalling campus unrest, the unsung heroines of the nascent abortion rights movement, the early days of gay rights, the emergence of televangelism, women surging into the legal profession, the explosive growth of professional hockey, and Alberta's marvellous boom years. - "The best book you've ever read!"
