Eaters of the Dead is an interesting novel. Just enough real background to lend credulance to the book - I recently got a modern translation of Ibn Fadlan's chronology of his trip to Scandinavia in the 12th or 13th century. Some of the stuff Crighton includes apparently happened - like the funerals etc. But most of it whas Criighton's imagination.
