From the bestselling author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Sphere comes an epic tale of unspeakable horror. It is 922 A.D. The refined Arab courtier Ibn Fadlan is accompanying a party of Viking warriors back to their home. He is appalled by their customs—the gratuitous sexuality of their women, their disregard for cleanliness, and their cold-blooded sacrifices. As they enter the frozen, forbidden landscape of the North—where the day’s length does not equal the night’s, where after sunset the sky burns in streaks of color—Fadlan soon discovers that he has been unwillingly enlisted to combat the terrors in the night that come to slaughter the Vikings, the monsters of the mist that devour human flesh. But just how he will do it, Fadlan has no idea.

First off: This is not a typical Michael Crichton book, nor is it a typical novel. So one must leave those presumptions behind before picking this up and reading it.Secondly: This is not a true account. It is a blend of the epic Nordic poem Beowulf, and the very real writings of Ibn-Fadlan. The final product of which is what we have here with "The Eaters of The Dead." It is quite easy to forget that this is a work of fiction as one is reading it however, and a few times I almost brought myself to believe the fictional parts within it, as the author is that good.Finally: The film "The 13th Warrior" is one of my all time favorite movies. It does not get a lot of love but it is a fantastic and very entertaining work to watch. That film is based off of this book and it is important to note it is not a direct representation of the novel. I believe that Crichton did do the screenplay for it though.This is the first time that I have read the book, which I should be ashamed of as I've been meaning to do it for years. In lieu of saying that, I am extremely glad that I did as it was a truly wonderful piece to read. There are some other reviews on here that have made very good points about what to read, such as the introduction and the historical context of the book so I won't get into that. What I will say is that those who bashed this novel obviously had no idea what it was about or what they were getting into beforehand. It is not supposed to read like a typical fashioned fictional book.I really enjoyed reading moments within it that made go back and think about the movie, because as I said before it's not a direct representation of the book. What John Mcteirnan did with little subtle changes here and there was brilliant that if you read the book, still maintains consistency with it. As an example, the scene after the first major battle with the Wendol against the entire village. Ecthgow brings one of the dead creatures to the group of warriors and drops them at their feet to show them what they are. Well in the book it is very different how it plays out, but it is still Ecthgow that essentially makes that "discovery." Also the scene where the company of warriors attack the Wendol in their lair, after they come down the waterfall and are in the little lagoon swimming to the other side with knives in between their teeth. That is entirely different in the book as well but the movie plays homage to it to make a better and smoother story.Overall this was a most pleasant experience reading it and I could not put it down once I started. As a fan of Beowulf, Vikings, Mythology, and history in general, it was a great and wonderful blend of all those elements. Now I need to read Ibn-Fadlan's ACTUAL writings regarding his travels to complete the circle!
