About this ebook
The inhuman Rulers of the galaxy sent three fleets to learn what had happened to the world located by Captain North and the Survey Team he led. Neither a soul nor a message returned. The fourth time, the Rulers sent a single man: Nils Hansen.
Commissioner Hansen had a mind that saw the shortest path to each task's completion and a ruthless determination to do what the task required. The cost - to himself and whoever happened to be in the way - didn't matter. Hanson's Special Units had kept his planet safe from the most sophisticated and violent criminals in the galaxy. Now Hansen was being sent to penetrate a spacetime enigma which had made gods or demons of the first humans to discover it. He would succeed or die.
Northworla place of slashing violence and mystic transformation
Northworla place of treachery and dazzling beauty
Northworla place of honor, of faith, and of love.
Hansen's iron will and strong arm confront godlike power and godlike cunning while a galaxy trembles for the outcome. And if Hansen dies - he will not die alone!
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Interesting ideas and characters but somewhat lacking in storytelling and event connectedness. In other words, great action, ideas, and set pieces with well written characters which are operating in a universe with an overly mysterized plot that leaves you wanting the dots more fully connected to understand the why behind the main plot line and the individual character actions. Worth a read for the novelty of the universe though. Enjoyed the action sequences thoughly.

Fantastic book with an intriguing plot across multiple realities, the core story is a Viking saga about harsh revenge but you also get hi tech battle suits and dinosaurs with energy shields and some kinky sex.

Not my favorite, but I am thinking about getting the new edition that has more content. Thinking that might answer some of the questions I have.
About the author
Vietnam veteran, former lawyer, former bus driver, and now bestselling author, David Drake tells a military story like no other. His readers recognize that he can take them where no one else can, with gut-wrenching description that puts them face-to-face with the enemy, and in the midst of the action right on the battlefield. He helped create the audience for mercenary military science fiction with his best-selling "Hammer's Slammers" books. Drake graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Iowa, majoring in history (with honors) and Latin. His stint at Duke University Law School was interrupted for two years by the U.S. Army, where he served as an enlisted interrogator with the 11th Armored Cavalry in Vietnam and Cambodia. Drake has a wife, a son, and various pets.
