Title: Norse and Babylonian mythology weaved together with magic.
Product review: This is the first book of the Twilight series. If you like what Crighton does with the Beowulf myth, speculations about the extinction of the Neanderthal, and Arab history in "Eaters of the Dead", you'll love this. Borr of the Aesir, teams up with a Babylonian (Assyrian?) mercenary, Surt, to rob a rich caravan. When they are forced to part on less than good terms, Surt vows to destroy Borr and everything that he is. Surts curse will fall on his son, Voden, to face. Great use of Norse myths and introduces Babylonian (Assyrian?) legends in a rich, imaginative fasion. Don't know why Schmidt is not more well known.
