The Eastern Bear series is an epic lineage saga set in early Europe. Heathen, the first book in the series, follows the story of a hero longing to return to his shattered homeland and restore peace and order to his people. However, our hero, Kulin Birsk, ends up starting the famous Viking revolution instead. Ripped from his homeland and sold into slavery, Kulin is bought by a kind old warrior who raises him like a son and teaches him to fight in the besirkir ways of old. As our hero grows up and matures, he uses this skill to become a mercenary leading his own unit.

“An extraordinary real picture of human beings numbed by catastrophe but still driven by the unconquerable determination of living creatures to keep on being alive.” —The New Yorker The classic apocalyptic novel by Pat Frank, first published in 1959 at the height of the Cold War, with an introduction by award-winning science fiction writer and scientist David Brin. “Alas, Babylon.” Those fateful words heralded the end.
