Publisher's Summary

The powerful and exhilarating third novel in Conn Iggulden's number-one best-selling Conqueror series, following the life and adventures of the mighty Genghis Khan.

The fatherless boy, exiled from his tribe (whom listeners 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.

Classic series

I read this series in my teens and now in my 30’s I relive the story on audible. So much life lived and taken away in the great khans lifetime. In comparison modern life is so meaningless and bland. I get free healthcare, so there’s that.

Well written, wonderful narration. I can’t fault it. Definitely makes me want to study the history of the Mongols.

Great third installment

I have listened to all three installments (so far) on Audible. This book is exciting and interesting, and the development of dynamics within the family and tribe are really engaging. The narrator does a great job (best yet?). Recommended
