Publisher Description
The year is A.D. 922. A refined Arab courtier, representative of the powerful Caliph of Baghdad, encounters a party of Viking warriors who are journeying to the barbaric North. He is appalled by their Viking customs - the wanton sexuality of their pale, angular women, their disregard for cleanliness...their cold-blooded human sacrifices. But it is not until they reach the depths of the Northland that the courtier learns the horrifying and inescapable truth: he has been enlisted by these savage, inscrutable warriors to help combat a terror that plagues them - a monstrosity that emerges under cover of night to slaughter the Vikings and devour their flesh....
Eaters of the Dead was adapted to the screen as The 13th Warrior, starring Antonio Banderas.

So good
This is by far my favorite novel. Well maybe second favorite of M. C. But Simon Vance is my favorite narrator. This is such a unique story and it deserves a listen. The movie the 13th warrior isn’t bad either. But do yourself a favor and get this!
Not the most interesting book
I have enjoyed probably 75% of Michael Crichton’s books. This is in the 25% category that I didn’t enjoy, mostly I finished the book to get my $25 worth out of it but its over priced for the story. It’s slow moving and you don’t really get to attached to the characters. Most of the people die and the quest is quite farfetched.
