The Norse gods are about to go to war with forces led by the trickster god Loki. Thor, Freya, Heimdall and the other gods show up. The Valkyries are now riding snowmobiles and toting submachine guns. The Norns show up with prophecies, Yggadrasil, the world tree is threatened, as are Midgard and the other worlds. And, of course, deliriously, Loki is the first female President of the United States.

review 2: Finished. I was not impressed. The story idea was good but the story was weak. The main character tries to act as a smart @$$ but the so called smart remarks are very weak and their are to many of them. In one conversation he would make smart remarks for over a whole page. After a while it gets tiring and boring. If you can get this book for FREE you may want to read it DO NOT pay money for it! Just my opinion. less
