Judson Roberts and the Strongbow Saga
Fascinated since childhood with the Vikings, and a lover his entire life of captivating stories, Judson Roberts decided in 1999 to attempt to combine these interests and write a novel set within the world of the Vikings. Two years and countless hours of research later, the Strongbow Saga, a historical fiction series for adult and teen readers, was born.
The Strongbow Saga follows the adventures of Halfdan Hroriksson, a young Dane, across the Viking world of the latter half of the 9th century, weaving his fictional tale in and out of actual events of the period and the lives of the historical figures who shaped them, combining a fast moving, gripping story with an accurate portrayal of the Vikings and their world.
Book One of the Strongbow Saga, Viking Warrior, and Book Two, Dragons from the Sea, were released by HarperCollins in June of 2006 and 2007, respectively. Book 3, The Road to Vengeance, was released June 17, 2008. The opening chapters of all three books are available below to preview.
