I expected the Viking and there he was; not the nicest kind of Viking, the berserker kind. We then struck the now we all seem stuck in, and it was very funny and observant in that sarky, only the English can do, way and I laughed and applauded both the clever observations and the jibes.In between all this was the "Dig", and from amateur experience I know archaeology isn't as glamorous as Raiders of the Lost Ark, but muddy, backbreaking work for little reward. Then it started coming all together, and got really...interesting...Loved the idea, the writing, the places, the people, the RAF blokes, and finally the end...well I can't say too much and give the game away, because you really should read it for yourselves...If you are of a nervous disposition, I'd recommend reading it on a sunny afternoon in the garden with a Sangria or Pimms, however, if you can manage it,  best on a cold, windy, rainy night with the branches whipping the window glass...and a glass of whisky...
