Kniha Petra Brenta Sága Vikingov upriamuje pozornosť na predkov dnešných Severanov - Dánov, Nórov a Švédov. Vikingská anabáza, plná dobyvačných vojen, ale aj objaviteľských ciest a kolonizačných úsilí, patrí zaručene medzi vrcholné etapy dejín Škandinávie.
Peter Brent stmelil rezonanciu starých severských ság a archeologických pamiatok v jednoliaty prúd histórie tohto národa a to formou pútavou, v úsudku triezvou. Jeho kniha je niečím na rozhraní literárneho faktu a odbornosti, plne zaujme čitateľa a poskytne mu solídne poznatky, umocnené vytríbenosťou štýlu.
