Crichton's book of "The 13th Warrior" is actually called Eaters Of The dead. It's a great premise...a re-imagining of the ancient myth of Beowulf as it might have been originally recorded.

I've read it, and I have the DVD starring Antonio Banderas. It's a favorite in my house...lots of Viking sword-swinging and adventure, and some good, old-fashioned HONOR and STRENGTH and COURAGE for themes to get that blood to pumpin'. I was even willing to overlook the main character being an Arab, albiet one from when they were smart.

Yep. I love the movie too. It's just not one of my wife's favorite.
