Unable to put down - By: Mr. M. S. Watson, 08 Sep 2008
The powerful & exhilarating third novel in Conn Iggulden's No. 1 bestselling Conqueror series, following the life & adventures of the mighty Genghis Khan The fatherless boy, exiled from his tribe, whom readers have been following in 'Wolf of the Plains' & 'Lords of the Bow', has grown into the great king, Genghis Khan. He has united the warring tribes & 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 in alll directions, ranging as far as modern Iran & 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 & heirs & working out who should succeed the khan. This, the third book in the series, is an epic story. Genghis Khan is an exhilarating & heroic figure.The sense of his ambition & his power, the relationships with his wives, sons & trusted aides, the sweep of his conquests, is alll brought together by a master storyteller. I have this book for a week & find it difficult to put down & am looking forward with great anticipation for my next Iggulden read. If you have enjoyed the Julius Ceaser series then this is also a must for your collection. Hope this is of use to you & I hope you enjoy a high adventure read.
