"Rowdy Geirsson reaches out like a draugr from a barrow to pull your leg down a rabbit hole full of plausible but preposterous lunatics and doomed sailors in this very funny saga. If you're the type of armchair traveler who would rather carry a drinking horn than the Hitchhiker's Guide-recommended towel, read The Scandinavian Aggressors and follow Geirsson to the land of the midnight sun, troll snot liquor, decapitated mermaids, and doofus viking warriors."

-Corwin Ericson, author of Swell and Checked Out OK

"An outrageously Norse-sensical shaggy dog story. Rowdy Geirsson is a cross between Loki and the Venerable Bede."

-Tony Williams, author of Nutcase and Hawthorn City

"I had a very good, and by good I mean weird but in a good way, time reading Rowdy's travel guide to parallel Scandinavia. It's as if early Louis Theroux was making a documentary about almost, but not quite, somewhat entirely successful modern vikings while the authors of Illuminatus! nodded in approval and now I need to lie down. Also, beer."

-Bjørn Larssen, author of Children and Why Odin Drinks

"Not only is Rowdy's writing superb, but the book delivers on its promise, providing a colorful and entertaining look into the life of a man searching for something more and finding it-maybe-in the cold north of modern day Scandinavia. I loved this book's creativity, its storytelling, its stick-in-your-craw characters, and its ability to make me laugh...if you love vikings and offbeat humor, and aren't afraid to stretch your imagination, you should give it a try."

-Eric Schumacher, author of the Hakon's Saga and Olaf's Saga trilogies

"A fascinating, bemusing, very funny blend of fantasy and reality."

-Rickard Berghorn, editor at Aleph Bokförlag and Timaios Press

"As a big fan of Norse mythology and viking history, I found Rowdy's book as comfortable as an old Bathory t-shirt and as surprising as a perverted troll. Mermaid beheadings, enslaved leprechauns, and other unstable tales of mead-soaked adventure await! I had a grin from ear to ear reading the whole thing."

-Matt Smith, creator of Barbarian Lord and illustrator of Hellboy: The Bones of Giants

"In the satirical tradition of More's Utopia and Swift's Gulliver's Travels, with a healthy dash of gonzo journalism, Rowdy Geirsson's The Scandinavian Aggressors is a hilarious read. Fans of the Icelandic sagas will be pleased by the modern spin on their favorite scenes and stories from the sagas."

-Andy Pfrenger, professor of medieval studies and co-host of the Saga Thing podcast

"The Scandinavian Aggressors is the visionary account of a silenced movement that shocked the Nine Worlds. A thoroughly Scandifuturistic chronicle of Neo-Norse extravaganza, so burlesque and Baudrillardian that you will thoroughly doubt your own sanity by the end of it. Rowdy's most shocking exposition of Boreal apocrypha yet."

-Eirik Storesund, errant Old Norse philologist and host of the Brute Norse podcast
