The rescue of a badly mauled boy clinging to ice offshore Greenland, sets off an explosive hunt for the ultimate scientific prize...human longevity. Ruthless men of science battle a band of intrepid indigenous spiritual healers to claim the child born during the time of Erik the Red. SKRAELING blends Michael Crichton's hardcore medical sci-fi narrative with riffs of Icelandic and Native American fantasy. Recent discoveries in arctic archeology shape the pulsing storyline exploring the impact of first contact between Viking Berserkers and "extinct" Paleo-Eskimos. A fast read, SKRAELING satisfies both the intellect and the heart of a discriminating reader.
