Book Excerpt for the Day

    Ragnar and Dirk were hurrying toward the paddock, but Olaf Far-traveler beat them to it.  He leaped the fence, grappled Starkad by the waist, and threw him into the water-trough.  Otkel snatched his axe from where it rested on his shoulder, while Starkad spluttered in the water.
