Impressive Set of Stories
This Book invites to learn and share different moments of the distant past such as Mammoth Hunters which takes us, the readers, to the pre history moments and then to the opportunity to share the saga with all characters which is a real adventure. I also loved the other story - The Odin Saga which is an imersion into an adventurous and prodigious time as we are suddenly transported to the time of the Vikings and their beliefs. Stories such as the Golden Man and King Richard are real treasures hidden in the words and tricks of a magical writer.

The Review
The book covers historical fictional events and the universe of different cultures such as the pre historic tribes in Montana/USA in The Mammoth Hunters, or the Viking intrigues in the Odin Saga, both stories complete books in the collection that is not only composed of short stories but contains real value for the reader, as one pays not for some pages but for complete books with lots of content. Loved the story of Richard, the King with its twists and a time line which allows a deeper understand of historical events that are too complex when reported in a strict time line. The historical fictional character of the work allows the imagination to reach beyond history itself.
The final and rich story, The Golden Man is a real treasure search, not only in the development of the story, but also in the way the reader may become involved in the many human emotions within the story. The nice storytelling is simple and clear, allowing the reader to follow his/her inner imagination in order to transport him/her to these places and be alone with the story and the characters, watching the events to unfold.
