The End of All Things is the last in the Old Man's War series, and it was a fitting end to the series, although fairly low key and shorter than some of the other books. I read it mostly in two sittings, and it was a fast easy read. It could sit on its own, but comes best hot on having read the rest of the series, more an epilogue than an entire novel. In fact its really five novellas loosely tacked together telling the same overall story from three points of view.

The Real Valkyrie is the second book I've read by Nancy Marie Brown, and like The Far Traveller, it weaves together the stories from the sagas and what we've found through archaeology to tell a tale that could have been true. Neither quite fiction nor history, there's a possible story, and then a discussion of the evidence that places that possible story at the heart of what we know about the history. For me this is the best of archaeology and the old stories. Both on their own are absolutely fascinating, and in The Real Valkyrie Nancy Marie Brown has woven them both into something that makes me think about how the assumptions we bring to the facts change the interpretations of those. She shows how the way the Christian faith twisted how we saw past that came befroe it, how it shaped the assumptions that the earlier archaeogists used to interpret their findings. Only with the addition of more modern scientific analysis were we able to show that many of the viking warriors that have been found were genetically female. This, combined with an understanding of the sagas, shows that gender roles were more fluid in the viking age.

An interesting beginning to a new series by an established author. Very much a pastiche of the classic pulp detective fiction, but in the modern (pre-pandemic) world and set in Dundee. There's a lot of set-up in this book, establishing characters and the settings, and I'd have preferred it to have been a little longer so that it could have also had a bit more of the story line as well. The ending just felt a little bit rushed, and the main character lost some agency in how it was wrapped up. Other than that though it was a good read.
