Books with title The Barbarians

In three bloody years, Ragnarok survivors ended the Gern Empire and freed Earth and the Athena colony. But Earthers fear and hate the great strength and speed bred over generations under heavy gravity that won the victory. Now a new threat strikes Ragnarok and the rest of mankind refuses to help.A nice sequel to the first Ragnarok book, but the characters seem a little dense considering it is obvious who the bad guys are and it takes them half the book to figure it out. It was a quick read though and nice to return to some unique sci-fi perspectives on mankind's future and survival as a species.

The ancient Romans used the word barbarian to describe people who were coarse, rude, or even just foreign. Over time the word has also come to connote bloodthirsty cruelty. But were the Goths, the Huns, the Vikings, and the Mongols as barbaric as we?ve been led to believe? In dynamic, detailed spreads that young readers will pore over, bestselling author Steven Kroll and illustrator Robert Byrd explore how these nomadic warriors lived, worshipped, and celebrated. Their wandering armies brought together Europe and Asia through trade and conquest and, in doing so, changed the world forever.
