The Scandinavian Aggressors by Rowdy Geirsson

The Scandinavian Aggressors by Rowdy Geirsson

An offbeat odyssey into the freezing heart of the modern Northlands, The Scandinavian Aggressors chronicles Rowdy Geirsson's tireless quest to uncover the secret history of the early 21st century's resurgence of authentic viking activity known as the Modern Viking Movement.

Along the way he meets modern viking luminaries such as Trond Troll-Breath Trondsen, who successfully raided a historic monastery's gift shop in England; Bj rn Svensson, who habitually recited classic rock lyrics at the site of each of his infamous berserkings; and Ingrid T rnblom, who founded an elite warrior sisterhood that drew comparisons to the Spartans of ancient Greece, the Samurai of feudal Japan, and perhaps most flattering of all, the Jedi Knights of the Intergalactic Republic. Encounters with additional Neo-Norse individuals augment the journey, revealing long-hidden details about the slaying of a creepy troll in Beowulf's homeland, the brewing of craft beer from within pagan burial mounds, and the suffering of horrendous digestive problems amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of Iceland's remarkable landscape.

Topical, informative, and highly insightful, The Scandinavian Aggressors not only provides essential reading for anyone with even a remote interest in the Modern Viking Movement, but also spins a darn good yard about the fragility of the Scandinavian condition.

Geirsson, Rowdy: - Rowdy Geirsson has ingloriously served as McSweeney's sole Norse History for Bostonians correspondent since the dark and dreary, recession-ridden days of 2010. In 2017 he created Mis- adventures in Heavy Metalling, an ongoing, low-quality metal fiction column that evokes all the atmospheric riffs and indecipherable vocals of a 1980's Elizabeth Shue movie for the popular music site, Metal Sucks. He also regularly contributes other textual atrocities to the humor sites Points in Case and Slackjaw and is the sole proprietor of www.scandinavianaggression.com, a mediocre blog about Vikings past and present. He lives in the grim and frostbitten hinterlands of Norumbega, Vinland.
