“At the Gates of Walhalla” by Justen Forge is a compelling and original read. The story centers around Kurt Sorensen, a man with striking Nordic features and a deep sense of duty. His wife, Guadalupe, originally from Mexico, had settled in El Paso, where the couple raised their fraternal twin boys. Kurt had a long and respected career as a United States Border Patrol Officer, having served nearly two decades. His mission was clear: to eliminate drug smugglers and human traffickers.
Tragedy strikes when Kurt’s family is caught in a drive-by shooting while out shoppingโan attack targeting a law enforcement vehicle. The loss of his wife and children, compounded by the earlier deaths of his parents, leaves Kurt utterly alone. Seeking a peaceful life, he requests a transfer and returns to his quiet hometown of North Walhalla.
Meanwhile, in Northern Mexico, a ruthless drug lord named El Cabrรณn rises to power, ruling through fear. Back in Walhalla, crime is on the rise, with heroin “zombies” haunting the playgrounds at dawn and dusk. What will Kurt uncover as he gets involved in a battle with El Cabrรณn?
This gripping novel brought to mind the intensity of the TV series Breaking Bad. The plot is fast-paced, the narration smooth, and the character of Kurt is particularly well-developed. It’s a hard book to put down once you start, and I’m excited to read more from Justen Forge in the future.
