"Maybe not as gripping as the first in this series, but another winner! I loved his depiction of how Genghis and his armies managed to defeat the great Chinese empire. A fascinating clash of cultures. The tension provided by adding the anti-hero shaman and developing the character of Genghis' brother Temuge add to the book. I am looking forward to soon starting the 3rd in the series, The Bones of the Hills."
"The brilliant second installment of the Conqueror series
Having united the tribes into the unified nation of Mongols, Genghis Khan and his brothers lead their great army into the land of the Chin. They encounter a new type of warfare, besieging great cities with high, strong walls and massive defensive weapons.
Keeping the tribes united is a difficult task and relies upon the brains of the great khan combined with his, sometimes shocking, ruthlessness. It works.
There are many sub-adventures, and there are new surprises for the reader around every corner. The only constant is the cunning plotting of the shaman, Kokchu, who is feared by all, even Genghis.
Once again, Conn Iggulden sweeps the reader along with his wonderful descriptive story-telling. The only disappointment for me is that, having finished this book, I am going to have to wait for the third and final instalment."
"This is the second book in Iggulden's trilogy of Genghis Khan. Genghis, now master of all the Mongol tribes, sets his sights on conquering The Chin Empire, as China was known then. He takes the horde of history into a great battle against the Chinese forces at Badger Pass, and after his victory there beseiges Yenking (aka Beijing). The khan learns that, once you build a great army, you must keep it fed, not in meat and wine, but in war and victories. I was interested in learning how Iggulden handled the depiction of such a barbaric protagonist. He did it by showing that the merciless behavior of the Mongols, and the Chin, were all part of the way life was in that day, it was a "natural" action. When we look at human behavior in the last hundred years, the Nazis and the holocaust, the Khmer Rhouge and Cambodia, the Taliban and Afghanista, Bosnia, Somalis, Rwanda, we discover that mankind hasn't changed much at all over the centuries."
"Went to this straight after book one in the series. Some said it wasn't as great as the first one. But hey...it is almost. Same good story telling as in the first book. I liked to read about all the tactics and thought about conquering Asia.
Will read book nr. 3 when it arrives in Swedish in Nowember."
