Summary

The 4th novel in the bestselling Conqueror series, continuing the life and adventures of the mighty Khan dynasty.

Genghis Khan is dead, but his legend and his legacy live on. His son Ogedai has built a white city on a great plain and made a capital for the new nation. Now the armies have gathered to see which of Genghis' sons has the strength to be khan. The Mongol empire has been at peace for two years, but whoever survives will face the formidable might of their great enemy, China’s Song dynasty.

The great leader Tsubodai sweeps into the west: through Russia, over the Carpathian mountains and into Hungary. The Templar knights have been broken and there is no king or army to stop him reaching France. But at the moment of Tsubodai's greatest triumph, as his furthest scouts reach the northern mountains of Italy, Tsubodai must make a decision that will change the course of history forever.

Empire of Silver

By far the best book in the series, for me on par with the first on maybe but the narrator for this one is beyond good.

Not one of Iggulden's finest

A decent story, following on from the earlier books about the Mongols. The narrator did a fantastic job, but I didn't personally find the plot all that gripping.

Excellent

Well written and well read. Gives character and meaning to characters in history. The battle scenes are so vivid and clear to imagine. The horror of such engagements is powerfully depicted.

Good, but could have been five star!

Good follow on book from the Genghis Khan trilogy. I think it would be pretty hard to top the first three which are excellent. I wouldn't recommend this book without reading/listening to the first three in sequence though. The book is intended to stand alone in it's own right, but would I think confuse the reader/listener a little. The characters are more real having read the previous books.

excellent, wish they wouldn't rotate readers

story is excellent as always with Conn! my only complaint would be the swapping of readers in a book series - it inevitably leads to continuation issues such as name pronunciations and interpretations of character voices etc. but other than that, great!
