The next book in a fantastic story
Review date: 2008-12-09 Rating: 10 out of 10
This is the 2nd book in the series about Gengis Khan and is better than the first - more action and large battles and less details about the hardship of living in (what is now) Mongolia. If you read the first book this is a no-brainer - you will want to read this one as well. This book can be read out of sequeance but I gurantee you will end up getting the first one as well to see how he got here!!!!

Conn Iggulden does it again
Review date: 2008-10-22 Rating: 10 out of 10
Why cant Conn Iggulden write any faster? Have to say, another triumph. I love the way he writes, you feel like you are part of the whole journey. It's clever as well, because the heroes aren't heroes, there just as nasty as the bad guys, however they are your bad guys! Going to be depressed again now waiting ages for his next one :-(

I was going to give this book 4 stars, but I read the last half in 24hrs, I feel that any book that can draw me in such as this deserves a 5 star rating. It really is an epic story if you read and enjoyed'Wolf of the Plains' then you will love this. I particularly like that the story does not just focus on Genghis in fact there are times where the story leaves him behind and follows his brothers journeys, what's surprising is that the book is all the better for this.
In short it's well worth a read you will not be disappointed. Enjoy.

Not the best Conn Iggulden, but still very good. Really you need to read the first book in the Conqueror series before reading this, but it is not vital. Conn sketches out the characters, locations and events very well and the story/history is excellent. Goodies and baddies developed well. My only criticisms are that I think the book is a little short, and I think Conn wraps it all up quite quickly. I dont think so far that this series has scaled the hights of some of the Emporer series, but still Conn is probably one of the best fiction/history writers around.
