Brun writes with passion and his recreation of this bloody, fascinating world is convincing. * The Times *
A hugely impressive effort, this is a rip-roaring blockbuster brought to life in vivid detail. You can smell the smoke of the Viking hall, taste the burning desire for revenge. With Brun - there's a new heavy weight writer on the medieval block. * Justin Hill, author of Viking Fire *
At the point where history and myth blurs, Theodore Brun has crafted a thunderous epic of blood and fire, love and loss that will keep you reading deep into the night. * James Wilde, author of the Dark Age series *
A huge, finely-paced read. * Jon Wise, Weekend Sport *

A masterly debut... If Bernard Cornwall and George RR Martin had a lovechild, it would look like A Mighty Dawn. I devoured it late into the night, and eagerly await the sequel. * Antonia Senior, author of The Winter Isles, on A Mighty Dawn *
Brun has a knack for describing combat... Very much in the vein of Bernard Cornwell's Warrior Chronicles, a warrior's battles are never done, at least, not whilst he still possesses the strength to swing his sword. * Bookbag on A Mighty Dawn *
[The first of a] very fine historical, fantasy series * Nudge on A Mighty Dawn *
