Publisher's Synopsis
Blending historical speculation with spirited adventure, this novel follows Norse explorers as they journey across the Atlantic to the shores of a land yet unnamed. As they confront natural hardships and cultural challenges, their Christian faith and determination guide them through the perilous frontier. The Norsemen in the West offers a bold reimagining of early transatlantic exploration, rooted in valor, belief, and the enduring human spirit.
Robert Michael Ballantyne (1825-1894) was a Scottish juvenile fiction writer, whose rule for his adventure stories was to write as far as possible from personal knowledge of the scenes he described.
