Nature or Gods Interfering
Welcome to
Tuesday Blog Share. Today, we’re talking about a tale that seems improbable.
Teens have a lot of obstacles to overcome in their lives, but none expect Norse
Gods to be the cause of those problems.
Gods
at play; humans at risk. Jessie isn’t very happy with her life in Homer,
Alaska. She is really tired of fish at every meal and how they’re always having
to take tourists out in the early hours of the morning on fishing expeditions…
until she meets a totally hot guy.

March
27, 1964, a 9.2 earthquake devastated Alaska and brought a tsunami that did
further damage. Odin accepted his responsibility for this disaster and made a
promise to Thor that he would never do such a thing again.
Fifty-three
years later, Thor learns his father has returned to Homer, Alaska and is yet
again in a destructive mood. What makes matters worse are two teens, Jessie and
Jason Sørenson, are related to the Hnickar that continually entices Odin into
being destructive.
Can
Thor, Jessie, and Jason stop Odin and his Hnickar friend? Will another
disastrous earthquake and tsunami finish the destruction begun more than half a
century later?
Excerpt
He stood upon
the sandy beach, the last rumblings of a devastating earthquake moving far off
into the interior. Odin, King of the Norse Gods, shook his head in shame. He
was responsible for this travesty and had no way to make reparations.
“Sir.” A man
approached him cautiously, followed by a boy of about eighteen years of age.
“Are you all right? I saw you tossed from the sea. Were you on a boat that was
capsized by the earthquake?”
Both humans wore
shocked expressions. The earthquake had been massive, registering at 9.2 on the
Richter scale. Many homes had been damaged but Odin didn’t sense any wailing
for the dead. Although, from what else he was sensing, that would soon happen
and he couldn’t do anything about it—because he was partially the source of
this disaster.
