About this ebook

Russia (988-990) Ethelwulf the Wanderer’s band flee to Gadarike (Russia) from Finland. However, they are soon betrayed, narrowly escape and seek revenge. This creates new enemies and they are despatched to Khazaria where conditions even worsen among a population of Christians, Jews, Moslems and pagans. With news of old enemies on their trail they escape using the river system, despite tragic events, through the Sea of Azov and head for Byzantium determined to find security there as mercenaries.
With extensive factual End-Notes
Part 7 of a nine part series set in the 10th century Viking world. Here the background is a pagan Russia gradually becoming Christian but threatened by pagan and Moslem enemies.

Author

R. Hyslop

I am a retired teacher, absorbed by History since I learned to read. I graduated in History from King's College, London in 1963, specialising in Medieval History. I wrote 'The Wanderer' trilogy at odd times 1992-2008 when I self-published it. The main effort came with the research. For more details see under 'Bob Hyslop'.
