Publisher's Synopsis
"Some books make you laugh, and others make you think. It's a rare literary offering that prompts both. Return of The Secret Viking achieves this unlikely feat and much more. Martin Myers does it again in a novel filled with humour, insight, and a love of language. Bravo."
- Terry Fallis, two-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour
PREPOSTEROUS, POETIC, PROFOUND AND EXTREMELY FUNNY
When 1300-year-old Viking warrior poet, Thorsten the Rood, realizes the novel he has been writing is becoming reality, his efforts to escape a world of his own design include hiding himself away. But the renegade plot has its own ideas and won't let go; it twists and turns and now the long-lived Viking's life is in danger. How and when did he become a character in his own book? And who is writing it now? Is it the mysterious know-it-all search engine called Giggle? Or is it the malevolent diet doctor, Lion Rampa? Or has his friend and confidant, Professor August Dallou, become his enemy, and his downfall? Return of The Secret Viking is the mind-bending second installment in the saga of Thorsten the Rood by internationally acclaimed author Martin Myers, and a journey not to be missed.
