King and Emperor
About this ebook
While the Gods of Asgard continue to use him as a plaything Shef must defeat Bruno, the German emperor, who wields the Holy Lance which pierced Christ's side. The terrible invention of Greek Fire threatens Shef's fearsome Viking navy, and he must turn to the East to seek new wisdom. Finally, his quest may lead him to the Holy Grail itself.
As Harry Harrison's highly-acclaimed series reaches its climax, not even the gods can predict victor and vanquished.
