Sir Ironwood
The Beginning
by Christopher Tyson

---

It's 1942 in German-occupied Norway in a coastal town, close to Stavanger. Kristoff, a fisherman's son and Rocky, his best friend a farmer's boy, both 19, have lost family to the Nazis. They have joined the Resistance and resolve to push the Germans out of their country. Due to Kristoff's Viking lineage, the god Thor sends a creature to help the lads in their epic fight. Sir Ironwood, so named, is huge, speaks extremely well, flies, is very dramatic, has a sense of humor, and plays chess. His view of dragons is well noted in this book. Ocean, on and under, sky and land battles ensue, with love, romance, and theatre involved. All this, with a touch of a Chinese Monk.
