This book is filled with rich descriptions of exotic countries, village life and seafaring adventures.  It will satisfy anyone's desire to escape into medieval sea voyages and the thrilling yet engaging battles on the sea. Becca is a  young lad unlike any other lad of his age, strong, brave and honorable. But he had a dream, to venture out on a ship to explore lands far away. He got his wish to go out on his first raid, which didn't quite go as he had planned, and it placed him at crossroads that will change his life forever. Should he surrender his Viking culture? Starting out on this new unexplored culture that he acquired, and not by accident but by divine appointment, Becca decided to be his own captain with his own ship. But being a captain is more than minding a ship, there is the crew to consider. Nevertheless, Becca is ready to learn, even from his young servant called Aelfric and later from Alexios. The lessons as a young captain that he learnt are ones that we can glean and learn from. All along the way there is the very significant golden thread of heavenly inspiration woven into every voyage and battle that he faced. But there are major hurdles that will come in his way, and he must choose wisely, which can mean the difference between life and death, not only for him but his crew as well.

BBecca Book 6 continued on, as Becca got busy regathering his crew that were imprisoned, and even Yara's flocks that were taken. This venture led him down a path of conflict with the Israeli soldiers, and at the same time, to see the supernatural powers at work on his behalf. Becca and his men were driven to the city Jerusalem by unseen forces. All along the way there, they were reconnected to their missing fellow crew members that were imprisoned, but now mysteriously released. Another unexpected unofficial crew member also showed up on their trek to Jerusalem. And it didn't end there, as two more unexpected alliances joined the crew of Sigrida II. One can only imagine what is in store for this unusual group of warriors.

Becca the Viking Book II, The Voyage To Aachen, is a wonderful continuation of Book I. With exciting battles at sea and on land, there is no end to the extraordinary strategies that Becca must employ, to ensure the safety of himself and his crew, his ship and the success of his missions. Always looking for the best in all peoples, Becca the Viking and the barbarian shows more heartfelt compassion than most other people. Yet all these things that he does are inspired from on high, and favor flows his way throughout his missions. Yet there are lessons that we can glean from Becca The Red, one of humility, kindness and generosity even towards the worst of men like Gregorio and Cheese-slicer. Becca has proven that he can fight like a brave warrior and yet have the compassion of a priest. But is there such a thing as too much compassion especially for a Viking warrior?

Becca Book 3, "The Voyage To The Holy Land," was another wonderful continuation of the adventurous voyages of Becca the Red, and his Viking ship and crew of Fifty. However, in this saga, Becca encountered trials that should have by all rights destroyed him and his men but instead, divine intervention snatched them out of certain disasters.   Becca still had a lot more to learn and especially about himself and his shortcomings. Thankfully, Cheese-slicer, the reformed thief turned prophet, was always by his side and was used divinely to redirect him in the right direction. Despite the trials these Northmen encountered, they were not enough to break their spirits. They all remained honorable to their captain Becca, holding fast to the agreements in their contracts, to do or die for the sake of the ship and each other. He in turn always kept a careful eye on every man and even the extra men he acquired.   No matter how each situation may have seemed to these men, whether fighting the winds and sea, or Arabs, it always worked out to their benefit in the end, earning them their title as true Vikings. Soon they will be heading home, soon it will all be over, but will it really be over for everyone? Is death and the grave the end if human life that people think, or another door and a birth into a new dimension?

In Book 4 of Becca The Viking, "The Voyage Home," brings to conclusion the voyages of Becca and his crew of The Fifty. Becca decided that it was time to settle down with a woman of his ancestry, so he returned home, and to his delight he encountered the woman of his dreams. Ingrid happened to be an admirer of Becca since they were youths and held off many marriage proposals because she had eyes only for Becca.   Becca also had an unexpected visit from his past, a betrayer seeking redemption, but Becca decided it was not his place to punish the guilty, but instead showed mercy. Years have gone by, and Becca, an established farmer, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather was nearing his end. But was it really the end of this valiant old sea captain, who once rode the rough seas with his most faithful comrades aboard the Sigrida? Risking their young lives repeatedly going through great perils of nature, and losing several of them in the process? Just maybe the Great Weaver of human destiny had another Sigrida and a new mission ahead for Becca. Maybe something greater, bigger and more earth shaking than before?
