During my research I found that the Silk Route was not just
one route but a whole network of interconnected routes.
It was while conducting this research that I also uncovered a
whole host of valuable information that I was not able to include
in the book.
So, as not to let it lie unused, I have written an alternate ending
which I have made freely available here.
The story deviates from the book from Chapter 34 onwards.
Simply download the PDFs and read on!
Enjoy!

This is a wonderful blend
of fact and fiction, putting
flesh on the dry bones of
history, demonstrating the
insatiable restless human
desire for discovery,
adventure and the
pursuit of knowledge.

EXCELLENT! The book
tells a story that
captures the reader
on several levels.
What appears to be
an historical novel
becomes an adventure
set in a background of
rich experiences and
wide diversity.

Legend... is a thoroughly
enjoyable book.
Why do I recommend it?

that it has Vikings and
Vikings are always cool!
