REVIEW
An ancient village was discovered by a U.N. expedition of a team of scientists. The village was hidden on a fjord in Greenland.
Here, a find of all finds is discovered by archaeologist Jonathan Henry.What was found was a stone casket with hidden and preserved inside, Nordic scrolls written on reindeer hide.
The author gives the reader a chance to go on his venture with him back into the pages of history.
Through the translated scrolls, the readers are sent to the life of the famous Viking explorer and navigator Leif Ericson along with his companion, Eric Thorson. As they are trying to escape the regime of tyrant, Lord Gustav, Leif, Eric and others set to build a new village in a new land.

Even though this is a work of fiction, the reader may feel that it is more realistic.

I was given complimentary copy of 1001 A.D. from the author, Wes Wetzel and OutSkirtsPress for my view of the book. No other compensation took place.
I would give this book 4 STARS.
