Viking warrior Eadred is second in command of his chieftain’s fleet around the year 900. Knowing that he is very ill, he still manages to gallantly rescue a man being terrorized by one of his own men. As Eadred collapses in pain from appendicitis, the man, who is actually an alien observer, returns the favor and has Eadred sent up to his ship for surgery. They return Eadred to earth in a suspended frozen state. Due to complications Eadred remains that way until he is discovered by an archeological team during our modern times. Portland is the sister of one of the doctor’s working on his case. In addition to having a jewelry making business in Vermont, she also knows many languages, including several of the dead ones.

Portland is brought in to interpret for Eadred. He is very confused when he awakens and has to deal with both the loss of his wife and children and the modern times. The FBI is involved. They are willing to let Eadred live his life in peace as long as he keeps the alien abduction part a secret. Portland takes Eadred back to her home in Vermont where it will be easier to maintain a low profile. She has her own issues to deal with back there. She finds herself falling for Eadred and the feelings appear to be mutually shared. He is learning the language and about modern technology. When they receive answers to questions that they have about his past, they find it easier to move forward in their relationship. Eadred has his own success as a man in modern times.

I really enjoyed reading Kate Hill’s story in “Rediscovering Thor.” The characters are well-developed and the chemistry between them screams its way across the pages. In addition to providing a well thought out plot with unusual twists and turns, Ms. Hill also delivers some very sensual scenes. I hope that there will more books forthcoming related to this story.
