Eddie and Nina take on the Norse legends as they try to stop the development of a WMD. It's deadly and no one should have it but that doesn't stop an group of Americans from trying to acquire a dangerous liquid that lies at the bottom of a pit. The path to which is recorded in runes. Finding the rune stones is their first problem but not the least of their worries

The problem with this book is it is too long and the first half is alternating chapters of the present and the past. I got tired of it and read just the past and then the present. In the end, if the past was not written it wouldn't have made one bit of difference to the outcome of this book.

There's lots of action and adventure but it is just too long to totally enjoy.
