Starship Ragnarok - Space Gods Saga, #1

Sometimes first contact comes with old grudges.When argumentative ensign Yas is posted to the Ragnarok he thinks it's a punishment. The Raggy is a joke of a ship under a washed out captain, and it's been mapping dust clouds on the edge of the galaxy for the last five years. But something unbelievable is moving in the interstellar void. Thousands of years ago, the powerful aliens-whom the human race worshipped as the Norse gods-left our galaxy, and the memory of them descended into myth.
Now they're back, and they're bringing their war against mankind's monsters with them. Yas's family is right in their path. With his laughingstock of a crew, what can he do to save his world, his civilization, from the terrors of an ancient age?~Inspired by a blend of Star Trek, Stargate and Norse mythology, this quick-moving space opera pits Vikings against spaceships in a future where mankind has established a flourishing interstellar civilization and doesn't need its old protectors coming back with beam weapons and demanding to be adored.
