Halfdan Hroriksson is on the hunt.

Determined to find and fight his brother's killer, Halfdan knows he must first gain experience as a Viking warrior. He's been lucky so far. He gained passage on a ship and is quietly learning the strategies of war and conquest from the hardy crew. Now, with a prisoner in tow—the daughter of a wealthy aristocrat—Halfdan is finally starting to earn some respect, and a name for himself.

But he is not looking for praise. Halfdan is only biding his time, gaining strength and skill for his ultimate quest. Time and again he proves himself on the battlefield, using clever strategy and an uncanny talent with a bow and arrow. Halfdan is growing as a warrior, but will this be enough to beat a savage murderer?

Through epic battle scenes and intimate power struggles, Judson Roberts brings the Viking world to pulsing life in this next chapter of the Strongbow Saga.

Review Summary: More than skin deep.....
Review: Judson Roberts really steps it up a notch in this third exciting addition to the Strongbow saga. As Halfdan continues to prove himself as a skilled warrior, he also struggles with a lot of inner turmoil on his road to vengeance. The issues that are brought up over honor and duty really push Halfdan into the developed strong character we saw in the first book. He is more than a superb archer, and more than a killer. The line between right and wrong is not as clear in this book as Halfdan struggles to become a real man. I loved this third book, it is a big step up from the second one. After reading it in only two days, I felt it was good enough to deserve another five starred review. If you enjoy a good historical fiction, don't pass up this series. I highly recommend it. Judson Roberts is a brilliant writer with a strong background in the history. I think he even makes a reference to a Billie Holiday song, Strange Fruit in one of his chapters. I am a big fan of this author.

Review Summary: I would give it more stars if I could!
Review: First of all this is NOT only for teens. I am nowhere near a teenager and I loved it. While reading it was like I was THERE in 9th century France, not merely reading a book! I can't wait for book four.

Review Summary: Courtesy of Teens Read Too
Review: Halfdan's quest for revenge continues in the third book of the riveting and highly entertaining STRONGBOW SAGA.

He returns to his ship and captain with his prisoner, Genevieve. But he finds it difficult to protect her while at the same time fending off attacks from Toke's men.

THE ROAD TO VENGEANCE is a vivid, honest portrayal of the trials and tribulations of life in the 9th-century, and it delivers an unflinching look at the many realties of that time period.

This is one high-spirited adventure novel that you won't soon forget.

Review Summary: Fun read.
Review: An exciting sequel. Nicely wraps up the Viking invasion of France. The big question is when Book Four will come out. Hopefully it will further explore the many interesting characters of the first three books.
