The Saga of Beowulf
"The Saga of Beowulf" is the first complete novelization of the epic 10th century Old English poem "Beowulf." Based on ten years of research utilizing numerous historical sources, R. Scot Johns' riveting adaptation is "breathtaking in scope and relentless in pace," chronicling the tragic wars of the rising Nordic nations, the endless blood-feuds of their clans, battles with mythic creatures in an ancient heroic age, and the final, futile struggle of one man against the will of Fate that made of him a legend.
