Product Description

Review
Praise for 'Wolf of the Plains': 'I felt as if a blockbuster movie was unfolding before me and a blockbuster movie will surely emerge from this. Read the book before Hollywood takes it over.' Daily Express 'Stirring stuff' Mail on Sunday 'This is energetic, competent stuff; Iggulden knows his material and his audience.' Independent 'Every bit as dazzling and action--packed as the Emperor quartet!Considering that the three main literary sources!have been picked clean by Genghis scholars over 800 years, Iggulden cooks up a nourishing stew with the bones'. Saturday Guardian Review 'Epic hisorical fiction at its finest; enthralling, exciting and utterly believable. Volume two is eagerly awaited.' Yorkshire Evening Post Praise for the Emperor series: 'If you liked Gladiator, you'll love Emperor' The Times 'A brilliant story -- I wish I'd written it. A novel of vivid characters, stunning action and unrelenting pace. It really is a terrific read.' Bernard Cornwell 'The great events and breathtaking brutality of the times are brought lavishly to life.' Guardian

Product Description
From the co-author of The Dangerous Book for Boys, comes the first in the widely anticipated Conqueror series featuring Genghis Khan and his descendants. A remarkable story of heroism and adventure, of a boy who had to become a man too soon, of a family and a tribe who had to learn to win to survive. A man without a tribe was at great risk, so the young boy abandoned with his siblings on the harsh Mongolian plains had to struggle to avoid death. He survived both starvation and hostile attacks by learning remarkable leadership skills and gathering a group of outsiders like himself. Hunted and alone, he dreamed of uniting the tribes into one house, one nation. He became a great warrior. He would become father to his people. He would be Genghis Khan.

5.0 out of 5 stars A more harsh childhood is hard to imagine!, 5 Oct 2007
By Lance Mitchell (Hampshire, UK, Northern Hemisphere, Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
Although this book gallops along at Conn Iggulden's usual pace, I was continually tempted to leap ahead to find out what happened next. That makes it much more of a chapter-turner than merely a page-turner, and the narrative left me quite breathless at times!

Temujin is the son of the khan of one of the many Mongol tribes who are in continual, violent conflict. Without spoiling the story for you, his circumstances force him to grow up very quickly rather than lose his life. As the story unfolds, Temujin faces death many times and learns from his terrifying experiences. His list of those on whom he determines to wreak revenge grows as you read. Eventually, he becomes the respected, feared and uncompromising leader of the great horde which dominated two continents during that age.

Had his childhood been easy, he would probably have settled down with a couple of wives and a few goats. Historic record shows otherwise, but that record hardly brings Ghengis Khan's tale to life in the way that Iggulden has managed in this book.

I would recommend this book to anybody, and would challenge them to resist being swept along by such a brilliantly told story. I just can't wait to get my hands on the next episode, "Lords of the Bow," in January 2008.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book - just don't make the same mistake i did!!, 5 Jun 2007
By Mr. Lst Smith "lukestsmith" (Cambridgeshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Genghis: Birth of an Empire (Hardcover)
First of all i'd like to say what a brilliant book this is, a fine continution of the author's good form originating from his highly acclaimed first series Emperor.
However, the reason i am writing this review is really because i feel like a complete idiot for buying the same book twice! I do not agree with other reviewer's claims that this is some kind of elaborate 'Conn' by the author. Branding for the U.S is very common and i believe most of us made this mistake because we became over excited about the thought of the sequel being releasesd and in our heads the different title already subconsciously confirmed to us that this was in fact the sequel. Had we perhaps been browsing for a new book or at the first of this author's novels in a new series we would have quickly noticed that this is in fact the first novel in the conqueror series just rebranded. I would however like to point the dirty finger at Amazon because it seems slightly strange to me that a re-branded version of a novel for the U.S should make its way onto(and so clearly because we all saw it really quickly)the U.K version of this website. Not good form if you ask me! So if you're a fan of the author or of historicla fiction, buy this book (if you don't already own wolf of the plains) you will not be diappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Genghis: Birth of an Empire, 5 Jun 2007
By Nicholas J. Speeks (Dubai, UAE) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Genghis: Birth of an Empire (Hardcover)
Having enjoyed Wolf of the Plains, "Genghis" was ordered in the belief, in common with other readers, that it was, indeed, the sequel. Nevertheless, on discovery that it was, in fact, the US version of "Wolf" and on representation to Amazon, rectification of this misunderstanding was made promptly and to my entire satisfaction. Well done, Amazon.
