Further Adventures of Odysseus Series

Gullveig the Gold-Witch just stole the Golden Apples that keep Odin, Thor, and the other Norse gods immortal. But the Aesir are too stoned to care. They're getting their jollies chasing after Fafnir, the poison-spouting dragon. Meanwhile Gullveig, the evil Loki, and the Dark Elves (no, not the unisex and flower-power kind) plot to bring on Ragnarok. Their idea of fun. Needing help now that Thor's gone all giggly, Odin drags Odysseus, along with his female captors and their balloon ship, across the Rainbow Bridge. After hanging the reluctant Greek upside down from Yggdrasil to help him get his mind right, Odin sets him and the ship's hard-nosed captain Taranga after the evil-doers. Battle Frost Giants, discover strange kingdoms underground and undersea, chase and be chased by dragons, and ride a volcano on a saga of high adventure guaranteed to keep you enthralled.

When the goddess Hathor suddenly morphs from a cow into a flying, fire-breathing lion intent on devouring the whole world, Isis and Thoth need a hero. So they send for Odysseus. Or rather, they send a time storm around to sweep him up from his quest to return home. Along with a balloon ship to speed things up. Though the last word in contemporary transportation, the balloon ship does come with a couple of caveats. Like, a crew of Amazons with a seething hatred of all males. And a mad teenage shaman whose visions call for offering their goddess parts of Homer's hero he'd really rather not lose. Turn-about's-fair-play as Odysseus, his captors, mad Queen Nefertiti, and a crew of time-stranded Vikings race each other down the Nile toward the temple of Hathor. But Set, God of Evil, has his own plans for the berserker fire-lion.  Ranging far and wide over history and myth, this world and beyond, Man of Pain will sweep you along on an adventure unlike anything you've read before.
