En el siglo X, el califa de Bagdad envía un embajador al rey de los búlgaros, pero el emisario es secuestrado por los vikingos. Para el refinado diplomático, las costumbres bárbaras de los pueblos escandinavos resultan a la vez salvajes y fascinantes. Y junto a ellos y a su jefe Buliwyf emprende una trepidante aventura: luchar contra 'los que se comen a los muertos'...

Devoradores de cadáveres fue el primer título con el que se publicó esta novela en castellano, adoptando más tarde el de El guerrero número 13, con el que se comercializó la adaptación al cine que se realizó en 1999, con Antonio Banderas como protagonista.

Work Description

Eaters of the Dead: The Manuscript of Ibn Fadlan Relating His Experiences with the Northmen in AD 922 (later republished as The 13th Warrior to correspond with the film adaptation of the novel) is a 1976 novel by Michael Crichton, the fourth novel under his own name and his 14th overall. The story is about a 10th-century Muslim Arab who travels with a group of Vikings to their settlement.

Crichton explains in an appendix that the book was based on two sources. The first three chapters are a retelling of Ahmad ibn Fadlan's personal account of his actual journey north and his experiences with and observations of Varangians. The remainder is a retelling of Beowulf.
