Invigorating." -- Deirdre Donahue, "USA Today" " Iggulden writes with sweep and immediacy...the novel races along as swiftly and inexorably as its main character." -- "Christian Science Monitor" " Brilliantly imagined and addictive.... This is historical fiction of the first order." -- "Publishers Weekly," starred review " Compelling.... this is historical fiction writ large." -- www.miltary.com "From the Hardcover edition.", "A triumph of historical fiction." -Publishers Weekly(starred review) "Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction." -Daily Mirror(UK) "Readers who enjoy well-researched tales of historical adventure with an emphasis on political intrigue, exotic settings, and military conflict will enjoy the ride." -Library Journal From the Trade Paperback edition., "A triumph of historical fiction." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction." - Daily Mirror (UK) "Readers who enjoy well-researched tales of historical adventure with an emphasis on political intrigue, exotic settings, and military conflict will enjoy the ride." - Library Journal From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Conn Iggulden's novels are grand historical tales of conquest and vengeance, cruelty and greatness. Now the acclaimed author of Genghis: Birth of an Empire delivers a masterful new novel of the mighty Mongol conqueror--as Genghis Khan sets out to unify an entire continent under his rule.... He came from over the horizon, a single Mongol warrior surrounded by his brothers, sons, and fellow tribesmen. With each battle his legend grew and the ranks of his horsemen swelled, as did his ambition. For centuries, primitive tribes had warred with one another. Now, under Genghis Khan, they have united as one nation, setting their sights on a common enemy: the great, slumbering walled empire of the Chin. A man who lived for battle and blood, Genghis leads his warriors across the Gobi Desert and into a realm his people had never seen before--with gleaming cities, soaring walls, and canals. Laying siege to one fortress after another, Genghis called upon his cunning and imagination to crush each enemy in a different way, to overcome moats, barriers, deceptions, and superior firepower--until his army faced the ultimate test of all. In the city of Yenking--modern-day Beijing--the Chin will make their final stand, setting a trap for the Mongol raiders, confident behind their towering walls. But Genghis will strike with breathtaking audacity, never ceasing until the Emperor himself is forced to kneel., He was born Temujin, the son of a khan, raised in a clan of hunters migrating across the rugged steppe. Temujin' s young life was shaped by a series of brutal acts: the betrayal of his father by a neighboring tribe and the abandonment of his entire family, cruelly left to die on the harsh plain. But Temujin endured-- and from that moment on, he was driven by a singular fury: to survive in the face of death, to kill before being killed, and to conquer enemies who could come without warning from beyond the horizon. Through a series of courageous raids against the Tartars, Temujin' s legend grew. And so did the challenges he faced-- from the machinations of a Chinese ambassador to the brutal abduction of his young wife, Borte. Blessed with ferocious courage, it was the young warrior' s ability to learn, to imagine, and to judge the hearts of others that propelled him to greater and greater power. Until Temujin was chasing a vision: to unite many tribes into one, to make the earth tremble under the hoofbeats of a thousand warhorses, to subject unknown nations and even empires to his will. From the Hardcover edition., From the co-author of the bestselling "The Dangerous Book for Boys" comes this historical novel based on the life of Genghis Khan.
