Thor, the hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, strength, & the protection of humankind, is ever-present in Ed Kiefer's thrilling work "Hammer of the Gods." The driving percussion and pulsing, syncopated winds bring Thor's story to life complete with the powerful clanging of his hammer.
