"Eaters of the Dead," by Michael Crichton, again.
Got a kick out of the excerpt in the original version from Ibn Fadlan's description of the Vikings being 'as tall as trees, with legs and arms like tree trunks' and how they were swinging their 'gigantic' hand axes over their heads and about their 'terrifying' war yells and then he goes on to say, "...and that's just their women."
