Book Reviews of Genghis: Lords of the Bow
Book Review: Trivial Pursuit
Summary: 3 Stars
After a great beginning with Volume One, I had high hopes for this novel and even bought the hardcover edition in my haste...Unfortunately, the author really loses focus here (something it generally takes series book #3 or #5 to attain!)...The story becomes absorbed with petty dealing and transparent conspiracies, as boring as they are predictable, completely undermining the sweep of historical force that was Genghis Khan...Stick with Cornwell.
Summary of Genghis: Lords of the Bow
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.
