Review Brun writes with passion and his recreation of this bloody, fascinating world is convincing. * The Times *A hugely impressive effort, this is a rip-roaring blockbuster brought to life in vivid detail. You can smell the smoke of the Viking hall, taste the burning desire for revenge. With Brun - theres a new heavy weight writer on the medieval block. * Justin Hill, author of Viking Fire *At the point where history and myth blurs, Theodore Brun has crafted a thunderous epic of blood and fire, love and loss that will keep you reading deep into the night. * James Wilde, author of the Dark Age series *A huge, finely-paced read. * Jon Wise, Weekend Sport *A time and age that there is preciously little information about, Brun has managed to bring the early world of the Vikings to life in an authentic and inspiring manner. * GRIMFROST, the worlds largest Viking community *Evocative prose and the brutality of the Viking world, its all here, woven with a deft touch into a tremendous tale. * Giles Kristian, author of Lancelot, on A Mighty Dawn *Just when you thought the brilliant Giles Kristian had the Viking crown for good, along comes another fine contender for the throne... Engrossing, spellbinding, A Mighty Dawn is exactly that. * Jon Wise, The Weekend Sport, on A Mighty Dawn *A masterly debut... If Bernard Cornwall and George RR Martin had a lovechild, it would look like A Mighty Dawn. I devoured it late into the night, and eagerly await the sequel. * Antonia Senior, author of The Winter Isles, on A Mighty Dawn *Brun has a knack for describing combat... Very much in the vein of Bernard Cornwells Warrior Chronicles, a warriors battles are never done, at least, not whilst he still possesses the strength to swing his sword. * Bookbag on A Mighty Dawn *[The first of a] very fine historical, fantasy series * Nudge on A Mighty Dawn *A truly impressive debut that hints at a much larger story still left to be told. This novel has the potential to be an epic tale to rival the sagas of the ages. * The Eloquent Page on A Mighty Dawn *Weaving together history, fantasy and myth like the Norns twining the threads of fate in A Mighty Dawn, Brun has created an excellent debut and a top quality read. * The Tattooed Book Geek on A Mighty Dawn * Long Description A brilliantly conceived Viking epic set in eighth-century Sweden.
