Award-winning Canton author pens 'Indiana Jones-style' Viking inspired novel

Posted

 CANTON -- Award-winning author Chris Angus of Canton says he was inspired to write his newest novel, “The Gods of Laki: A Thriller” out of an interest in Iceland and its long history of volcanic disruptions and Viking settlement.

“The product of this fascination is an Indiana Jones–style page-turner that will appeal to fantasy and mystery fans and will captivate readers until the very last page,” Angus said.

Angus poses the question, What do a 16-year-old Viking girl from the tenth century, a German geologist from World War II, and a former Secret Service agent protecting a female volcanologist have in common? They have all been called across centuries by an unusual force located in the remote and barren volcanic landscape of the Laki chain of islands in southern Iceland. United in their attempts to prevent evil forces from wreaking havoc on our global climate and economy, our heroes struggle to uncover the mystery hidden beneath the volcano.

The book, published by Yucca Publishing, will be available for purchase June 9.

Amazon.com describes the book as “A race to unveil the secret of Laki, a volcano on the southern shores of Iceland, pits our heroes—a sixteen-year-old Viking girl from the tenth century, a German geologist from World War II, and a former Secret Service agent protecting a female volcanologist—against evil forces with a plan to cause an eruption using explosives, altering the global climate through the release and forcing the price of oil to skyrocket.”

Once available, the book can be purchased for $11.39 at www.amazon.com/The-Gods-Laki-A-Thriller/dp/1631580469.
