The search for the Search for Odin

As far as I can tell, Heyerdahl's Search for Odin (Jakten pa Odin in Norwegian) has yet to be translated into English. This saddens me, the more so because the book drew "forceful and detailed response from leading academics," which allegedly verged on the personal. The Heyerdahl controversies fascinate me, this one most especially. 

Was Heyerdahl a visionary who saw beyond the confining dogmas of archaeological orthodoxy? A smasher of received prehistoric paradigms, predictably crucified by the scientific establishment for his many heresies? Or, was he an imaginative, eloquent, physically courageous kook who took intellectually unconscionable liberties with evidence and logic?  And does the answer, for my purposes, even matter?

One interesting fact about Heyerdahl, he's been, so far, my most frequently suggested Scandinavian. (But he was on my list from the first.)
