by Jay Newcomb

Overview

Come with us once more, together with our heroes in one of the most daring, dangerous and most consequential quests of their lives with the fate of all the free peoples of Midgard hanging in the balance. The time has now come for King Sigurd to deal decisively with the Goblin Empire. But how to do it becomes the question as the Goblins rule a vast mountain empire, the centre of which is an immense underground city beneath Mount Elbrus. Moreover, it is topped by the most formidable fortress in all of Midgard, a dark an evil castle wherein lies the throne room and seat of power of the Great Goblin, one that can only be accessed from the Goblin Tunnels below. Therefore, young Duke Sigmund and his wife, Princess Eileza of the Dwarves are tasked by the king to lead a band of knights and Dwarvish Berserkers to infiltrate the citadel via a secret entrance known as the Gate of Abelshazzar. With the help of Byock, the White Wizard of the East, they have a slim chance of success and little chance of coming out of it alive. Will they survive the terrors of Goblin Town, and will Sigurd's army be able to defeat the most formidable Goblin Host they have ever faced? It is sure to be a desperate struggle and one which will cost the lives of many people, among whom are those that we have come to know and to love in this epic saga for the ages. Journey now into, the Dungeons of the Goblin King in this eleventh volume of the Visigothic Saga.

About the Author

Jay Patrick Newcomb has been an avid fan of medieval literature such as the Arthurian legends and the great Icelandic Sagas for many years. Of particular interest was the famous Volsung saga from which his Visigothic Saga draws inspiration as well as Beowulf. He counts the German Opera Composer Richard Wagner and his Ring des Nibelungen, William Shakespeare’s historical plays such as Henry V, and J.R.R Tolkien works to be of great inspirations for him—and last but not in any way the least the Bible, the Books of Enoch and the Zohar. From out of this inspiration and thus building on the shoulders of these giants, Jay P. Newcomb has put together the great Visigothic Saga which is a multivolume epic worthy of the best which came before it.
He is a fan of both English and German/Scandinavian history, in particular the epic time period from the year 500 to the year 1066. He has traced his own heritage back as far as the year 1166 in Saltfleetby, England and is very proud of his English and German heritage. In the 1980s Jay P. Newcomb was stationed in Fulda, Germany with the U.S. Army’s famous 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (The Blackhorse), and was assigned to Observation Post Alpha along the East German Border—during the final years of the cold war. In his off time and when not deployed on other operations he was able to see many places and many castles in central Europe. His one regret is that he didn’t travel to England while he was so close. From his memory of these old and famous places and their brooding structures complete with their statues of gargoyles and from the misty forests of Germany, Jay P. Newcomb has drawn upon many of those elements from his memories and incorporated them into his writing. In the last decade he received an ordination as a Messianic Rabbi. He continues to write his Visigothic saga with at least four unpublished manuscripts waiting in the wings as of this writing. He has built an entire world with this series with many colorful people such as Elves, Dwarves and Gnomes and talking ravens called Huginn’s Folk. His is also writing a prequel book to the series called Midgardsvolk—as well he has published as a book of medieval style poetry about men such as Ragnar Lodbrok and King Alfred the Great called Middangeard which is also available as an audiobook on audible. There are also volumes of the Visigothic Saga available as audiobooks with several in production as of this writing.
