According to one library record, "A Viking warrior who lived hundreds of years ago sets sail with his men on the Golden Dragon [ship] to find the land where the sun goes at night."[1]
Adaptations
The book was loosely adapted and directed by Jones as a 1989 film Erik the Viking. The film was inspired by The Saga but the plot is completely different.
An officially licensed computer adventure game with the same name was written by Level 9 Computing and released by Mosaic Publishing in 1984. It also featured a completely different plot.
