Summary: <br> It’s time to strike out for the west in the latest <br> installment of Saga Thing. Join us as we sail through stormy and unpredictable <br> seas in the Saga of Eirik the Red! <br> <br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RI9DL0/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002RI9DL0&linkCode=as2&tag=sagthipod-20">The Vinland Sagas: The Norse Discovery of America: “Graenlendinga Saga” and “Eirik’s Saga” (Classics)</a> <br> <br> The first of the two so-called Vínland sagas to be reviewed, <br> Eiriks saga offers up a story that’s part travelogue, part bloodbath, and part <br> confusing as heck. In this episode, we’ll learn all about Eirik the Red’s bad <br> habit of killing almost everyone he meets, his son Leif’s discovery of Vínland <br> through the magic of pure navigational incompetence, the volatile natives of <br> this dangerous new land, and another round of hauntings (much to Andy’s <br> delight). <br> <br> Will Eirik ever meet a nice neighborhood and settle down <br> (without killing anyone who lives there)? Why does a Greenland seeress need <br> such fancy seat-cushions? Is that a Uniped hopping through the <br> Vínland woods? And just whereare Helluland and Markland, anyway?<br>
