So Far, Is There An Epic Novel Based On Ragnorak?

I think that the world is long over due a hefty, eight-hundred page saga of the Norse Apocalypse, featuring many lesser stories and characters, dieties, and monsters taken directly from the poetic edda. I think that it's a good idea, taking the setting directly, but adding in a coherent plot: the sort you might expect to find in a comtemporary war drama, with strategic battles, underlying motives, developed characters, and mellodramatic amounts of viscera. Has this been done yet? Note I'm talking specifically about Ragnorak, taking the names and places directly, not just some knocked-up Viking Fan-fiction.
