Michael Crichton’s Eaters of the Dead is a masterful retelling of one of the oldest stories ever told the legend of Beowulf through the eyes of an outsider. Presented as the lost manuscript of Ahmad ibn Fadlan, a 10th-century Arab diplomat, the novel combines authentic history with terrifying myth.
When ibn Fadlan is drawn into the company of Viking warriors, he encounters a brutal northern world of honor, battle, and survival. Soon, the band of men faces their greatest challenge: a monstrous, seemingly supernatural enemy that stalks them in the mist. Crichton blurs the line between historical fact and legend, delivering a story that is equal parts anthropological record, chilling adventure, and unforgettable myth.
