GRAND JUNCTION,
COLARDO (PRWEB) OCTOBER 28, 2016
In his historical fiction novel,
‘Assimilation: Axe of Iron’, author J.A. Hunsinger takes readers back to a
period of about 1000 years ago to the Norse settlement of Halfdansfjord and
surrounding areas, located along the coast of North America on the east coast
of James Bay, at the south end of Hudson Bay. His novel is the third and final
story in hisTrilogy about the Norse settlers and native tribes the Naskapi (Cree),
Anishinabeg (Ojibwa), and the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois). As historical fiction,
‘Assimilation’ presents a possible scenario about what may happened to the
Norse people and their settlements.
Hunsinger continues with the adventures of
Norsemen explorers Halfdan Ingolfsson and Gudbjartur Einarsson, and their
families, ‘Assimilation’ delivers a more in-depth story of the native tribes
and their impact on the Norse people and their settlements. Readers experience
the conflicts, relationships, and integration of the settlers and the native
peoples as well as native life, including the native customs, rituals, practices,
hunting methods, cooking methods, battle tactics, and how the Norse living
among them adapted and changed. The major conflict in the story which presents
a possible scenario about what may have happened to the Norse people is the
Anishinabeg tribe’s declaration of War with the settlers and their
determination to destroy Halfdansfjord.
Hunsinger presents an adventure rich in
historical detail, with careful attention paid to customs and practices of both
the Norse settlers and the Native tribes. The struggles and threats to the
Norse people highlight the difficulties of maintaining a settlement. ‘Assimilation’
will wet the appetite of the fans that have developed a fascination with the
plight of the Greenland Viking settlers in the first two novels of the series,
Axe of Iron - The Settlers and Confrontation.
The twists and turns of this continuing
tale will engage the reader from the outset as the tall, fair-skinned invaders,
knowing it is their key to survival, gradually assimilate with the savage
natives of the pre-historical land that will become the Hudson Bay and Great
Lakes regions of Canada and the US.

‘Axe Of Iron’ Accolades
"Axe of Iron is populated with strong,
vivid personalities, which mitigates some of the choppiness of the stilted
dialogue. The novel avoids the trap of some historical fiction by limiting dry
facts--depictions of the Norse people's penchant for fighting and healthy
sexual appetites also keep the tale from becoming too staid. While the scarcity
of extant Norse artifacts in North America makes it impossible to know for
certain how the early Norse settlers lived, this book offers a plausible
account. A descriptive and intriguing, if sometimes plodding, narrative."

About the Author
J. A. Hunsinger lives in Colorado, with his
wife Phyllis. His Axe of Iron series represents his first serious effort to
craft the story of a lifelong interest in the Viking Age, especially as it
pertains to Norse exploration west of Iceland and extensive research and
archaeological site visitations as an amateur historian. He has tied the
discovery of many of the Norse artifacts found on this continent to places and
events portrayed in his novels. Much of his adult life has been associated with
commercial aviation, both in and out of the cockpit. As an engineering
technical writer for Honeywell Commercial Flight Systems Group in Phoenix,

guidance systems and several supplemental aircraft radar manuals. His manuals

Institute of America and the Canadian Archaeology Association.
