Summary

The powerful and exhilarating third novel in Conn Iggulden’s No. 1 bestselling Conqueror series, following the life and adventures of the mighty Genghis Khan

The fatherless boy, exiled from his tribe, whom readers have been following in 'Wolf of the Plains' and 'Lords of the Bow', has grown into the great king, Genghis Khan. He has united the warring tribes and even taken his armies against the great cities of their oldest enemies. Now he finds trouble rising west of the Mongolian plains. His emissaries are mutilated or killed; his trading gestures rebuffed. So, dividing his armies, using his sons as generals of the various divisions, he sends them out simultaneously in many directions, ranging as far as modern Iran and Iraq.

As well as discovering new territories, exacting tribute from conquered peoples, laying waste the cities which resist, this policy is also a way of diffusing the rivalries between his sons and heirs and working out who should succeed the khan.

This, the third book in the Conqueror series, is once more an epic story. Genghis Khan is an exhilarating and heroic figure. The sense of his ambition and his power, the relationships with his wives, sons and trusted aides, the sweep of his conquests, is all brought together by a masterful storytelling. It is a compelling read. With each book, you are left, even more, longing for the next.

Historically inaccurate

Although a novel and therefore not a true story it takes the bones of truth and dresses them in a different animal’s meat all held together by yet another animal’s skin, the results beast is a rather pleasing one

Very good balance of facts and embellishment, brilliant accents and pronunciations in reading.

Excellently mixed and balanced factual and embellishment story telling style by the author. Clear, clever, passionate and skilful reading with great accents and pronunciation of names and titles.

Great story well told

Brilliant series and well read by Rupert. Alas, they have changed the narrator again for the next book in the series. Why do they keep doing this :(

Great book

Awesome book, Conn Iggulden beats Cornwell any day of the week in the genre of historical fiction in my opinion. The only thing that prevented me from giving this book 5/5 was that the narration was slightly worse than the previous book. No idea why they keep changing the narrator; a smudge disruptive for the listener...
