Publisher's Summary

The first book in the bestselling Conqueror series featuring Genghis Khan and his descendants.

'I am the land and the bones of the hills. I am the winter.'

Temujin, the second son of the khan of the Wolves tribe, was only eleven when his father died in an ambush.His family were thrown out of the tribe and left alone, without food or shelter, to starve to death on the harsh Mongolian plains.

It was a rough introduction to his life, to a sudden adult world, but Temujin survived, learning to combat natural and human threats. A man, a small family, without a tribe was always at risk but he gathered other outsiders to him, creating a new tribal identity. It was during some of his worst times that the image of uniting the warring tribes and bringing the silver people together came to him. He will become the khan of the sea of grass, Genghis.

Excellent book with good narration

I previously read this book years ago and was glad to see it was just as good as an audio book. I was disappointed that the author's notes were missing at the end. Iggulden notes areas where he strayed from actual history for the purpose of story telling, but unfortunately this was left out of the audio version of the book.

This is a great series about the life of Genghis (and in later books, his successors).

I've heard about this book for ages. But I never got around to it. Shame because it is such a good story and so well written. I'm going to go straight into book two.

A novel to rival your Netflix favourites!

Truly an immersive experience and imaginative portrayal of the genesis of Ghengis Khan. Conn Iggulden works his magic as he expertly sweeps you off your feet and drops you right onto the plains of Mongolia. The novel bolsters the ability to make your heart race with anticipation and wrench with compassion. Unquestionably binge-worthy, 10/10 would recommend.

Feels wasteful

That must've been a pretty easy book to write, where you just take some history that someone researched and put some narrative in it. No need to even stick to the actual events, just write what you want and fill the time.
