HTML:From the author of the bestselling The Dangerous Book for Boys BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Conn Iggulden's Khan: Empire of Silver. For centuries, primitive tribes have warred with one another. Now, under Genghis Khan�??a man who lives for battle and blood�??they have united as one nation, overcoming moats, barriers, deceptions, and superior firepower only to face the ultimate test of all: the great, slumbering walled empire of the Chin. Genghis Khan comes from over the horizon, a single Mongol warrior surrounded by his brothers, sons, and fellow tribesmen. With each battle his legend grows and the ranks of his horsemen swell, as does his ambition. In the city of Yenking�??modern-day Beijing�??the Chin will make their final stand, confident behind their towering walls, setting a trap for the Mongol raiders.

El joven Temujin se ha convertido en Gengis Khan, el victorioso comandante que conseguirá unir a las tribus más belicosas de las estepas. Su intención es forjar una nueva nación en las salvajes llanuras y montañas de Mongolia, un nacimiento sangriento que pondrá a un continente de rodillas. Durante miles de años, las tribus han sido mantenidas a raya por las fortalezas del imperio de los Chin, una tierra de enorme riqueza e ingentes ejércitos imbatibles. A cambio, los guerreros de Gengis sólo poseen el arco, el caballo y una disciplina de hierro nacida de una tierra de hielo, hambre y muerte. Las murallas de piedra se ciernen sobre los jinetes mongoles, su khan deberá derrotar al antiguo enemigo y llevar a su pueblo a la grandeza o ver cómo su gente se dispersa y sus sueños se rompen en mil pedazos.

Another highly entertaining read from the undisputed King of historical fiction. (

The second installment of Conn Iggulden’s Conqueror series does not disappoint. This book shows the children of the first book breaching the threshold of adult hood. They are hardened from years of warfare, have accepted their destiny and all it encompasses. And that is to destroy the enemy. But we see the brothers on a continual path of learning and discovery. Each is coming into their own place in the tribe. Bonds will be formed and debts will be repaid and all will be done while ankle deep in blood. During the course of the book we see a continual path of growth, understanding and mutual respect for the tribe and their ancient enemies. But that does not mean anyone will go silently into the night. The book is solid and moves at a steady pace with a few surprises for the unsuspecting reader. I am neck deep into the third book as I write the review for the second. The Journey continues. (

This is the second of the conquerer series. Solid book on its own right but just did not have the magic of the first. One, it was hard to read about my own people getting slaughtered. Two, as Genghis grows older his life becomes more complicated with more people. I do not fault the author. To paint a portrait of Genghis Khan's life can challenge any writer. (

Very good telling of Genghis' conquest through China, partially based on historical facts on the real Genghis.
