It is one of my long-time goals to eventually write a Gary Jennings-scale epic novel about the Vikings in America.

I can't decide if I will write it as a "lost expedition" narrative, or an alternative history. If I go the alternative history route, I'll have the expedition land on "fertile soil" south of New York, landing in the middle of Indian wars so that they are well-received as new allies bringing iron and horses, similar to the Spanish conquistadors' experience 500 years later.

Just imagine if North America had been settled by Vikings beginning in AD 1000! How does that sound for an epic novel!
