Ragnor Magnusson, who is profoundly bored with his life, and bereft, believes that his parents and many brothers and sisters were lost years ago in a shipwreck. Deciding that the only way out of his slump is to go a'Viking, which would include battles, invasions, and lots of blood, Ragnor leaves his village. During a particularly gruesome attack, he has a vision of his half brother, Torolf, and a red-haired goddess surrounded in light and beckoning to him. Much to his surprise, he then finds himself in a SEAL training camp, where everyone thinks he is Torolf, and where the red-haired goddess turns out to be Lieutenant Alison MacLean, a navy doctor who doesn't know what to make of him. To complicate things further, the SEAL's quick-tempered instructor is Alison's brother, and he doesn't approve of any contact between Ragnor and his sister. Whether Ragnor is mangling the language, driving his frustrated SEAL trainer crazy, or persistently wooing a superior officer, this stubborn Viking is an excellent addition to Hill's wonderful cast of naughty, nervy, time-traveling Norsemen.
