Praise for Pagan Warrior
"M. J. Porter has written a story of one battle - Haedfeld - which will change the face of England. And written it very well indeed, for the dialogue is sharp and whilst the day-to-day descriptions are fairly sparse, the telling of the battle is gripping." HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW
"M J Porter brings the period to life that you feel you are really part of the story." Amazon Reviewer
"First class story combining historical facts and fiction well in a wonderful novel." Amazon Reviewer
"Another book on the Dark Ages, written in an interesting style of first person, taking in the views of each of the lead characters from their perspective." Amazon Reviewer
