Bøger af Ian Stuart Sharpe

In the Vikingverse, the Norse rule the stars with restless fleets and an iron will. But when the thralls rebel, turning to the artifice of Norns to help them escape their bondage, the natural order is thrown into chaos. The Jötunn War has been fought across the Nine Homeworlds to contain the threat, a battle against the stuff of ancient nightmares, red in tooth and claw. Utgard is the rebellion‿s last redoubt, an indignity the Empire plans to cleanse with flame and fury.

Midgard is a funeral pyre. RagnarOk, the doom of the gods, has brought the Empire of the Heavens to ruin. For some, the harrowing promises a new beginning. Mother JOrð will rise again, and new gods will return to the golden tables of old. But Iðunn Lind, keeper of the great World Tree Yggdrasil, no longer believes in ancient prophecy or the hand of fate. Across the veil, Churchwarden Michaels is stuck dealing with his own personal RagnarOk - and just how to save his neck now that three Viking crosses have appeared overnight at St. Mary's. When the boundaries between realities fracture, the two guardians discover that the gods not only play dice with the Vikingverse, they are rolling snake-eyes. In this new chapter of the Vikingverse, the tapestry of time unfurls in deadly new ways.

Never be lost for words again...with this book of lost words. Have you ever wanted to wield the silver tongue of Loki, or to hammer home your point like a Thundergod? Old Norse is the language of legends and the stuff of sagas, the inspiration for Tolkien and Marvel, for award-winning manga and epic videogames. It is the language of cleverly crafted kennings, blood-curdling curses, and pithy retorts to RagnarOk. Old Norse for Modern Times gives you the perfect phrase for every contemporary situation-from memorable movie quotes ("e;We're going to need a bigger boat."e; Þurfa munu vEr skip strra) to battle-cries to yell on Discord ("e;Do I look to be in a gaming mood?"e; SYnisk þEr ek vera I skapi til leika?), from mead hall musings ("e;This drink, I like it! ANOTHER!"e; LIkar mEr drykkr þessi! ANNAN!) to tried-and-tested pickup lines ("e;Nice tattoo!"e; Fagrt er hUðflUrið"e;). With over 500 phrases inside (plus the chance to add your own!) it is the perfect guide for Vikings fans, whether they are re-enactors, role-players, or simply in love with Ragnar.
