Miranda's Viking

REEDUCATING ROLF

A Viking warrior was sitting in scientist Miranda O'Shea's living room, learning English and marveling over light bulbs. Yesterday Rolf Magnusson had been frozen solid, his body perfectly preserved in a glacial cave, where she'd discovered him. Today, all six feet seven inches of him was hot to the touch --- except, unfortunately, for his heart, which remained as ice-cold as he'd been for nine hundred years.

Miranda couldn't just hand him over to science, but exactly what she was going to do with the man who'd gone down in history as the "Plague of the North" stumped even her.
