Blurb: “When Hildy Frederiksen, an idealistic young archaeologist from Long Island, discovers a Viking longship sunk in a Scottish marsh, as well as a magnificent burial chamber for an ancient Norse king and his twelve champion warriors, she knows she has stumbled on the most exciting find since Tutankhamen.
Hrolf Earthstar, on the other hand, is seriously irritated to have been awakened, but is unsurprised to learn that he is to save the world from his old friend the sorceror-king, and that not everything has changed in the last twelve hundred years.
As he and Hildy set out to do battle with the Powers of Darkness they encounter such incomprehensible phenomena as electricity, computers, television, and the London Underground. None of which turn out to be as modern as Hildy had thought.
For anyone wondering what caused the twentieth century, Who's Afraid of Beowulf? provides the only logical explanation.”
