After a short stint at the University of Oslo he left for San Francisco in 1981 and never looked back. He has written extensively for a variety of promotional and entertainment purposes. The Gripping Beast is his debut novel, and has already garnered positive reviews from early readers, for its immediacy and unconventional approach to the subject matter.He wrote The Gripping Beast to renew the viking novel; to reshape the often fanciful stories into something much closer to the ground, and in his own words "to rid the genre of pet dragons, fur bikinis, and magic helmets." The Gripping Beast is among the first to bring a realistic and hard-boiled style to the Medieval novel. It puts the reader inside the boots of a young Norseman, and face to face with Medieval Europe such as it was.Torgeir Hansson lives in Sausalito, California.показать меньше
