Khan: Empire of Silver Audiobook

" I do consider this series a masterpiece. The Caesar series, in my opinion, is not (read Colleen McCullough's Rome series) and it surprises me that Conn Iggulden could write both: the first series such a fine example of researched writing where the characters are well recreated and the detail so engrossing that sometimes you forget that this is also a very well structured story. This Conqueror series is not only fine historical fiction but very excellent writing with insights and perceptions constantly engaging deeper attention beneath the level of a fascinating saga. "

" This series is an excellent example of historical fiction. The author provides compelling detail and mood which carries the reader deep into the story. Every now and then I pause and wonder how he researched some of the more arcane features such as the medical treatments or the armor or the insider view of Chinese court life. Then I get back into the story and characters. I’ve read later works by this author but none as finely done as this initial production. "

" I hope there's another one! "

" interesting read about the genghis dynasty "

" OMG are these books AMAZING! There NEEDS to be a movie!!! "

" Good reading for historical context of the Mongol empire. Characters were weak and the events were condensed. "

" Brilliant. Iggulden continues the series without a falter after Genghis' death. Why can't history in school have been so awesome? "

" One of the three best historical novels/series I've ever read! "

" I enjoyed this book immensely; found it a fitting & worthy conclusion to the Conqueror saga. I await the next Conn Iggulden journey into the past with great anticipation. "

" Another fantastic book in the series. The author's writing doesn't improve (and doesn't really need to), but it is not lacking what the other books achieved. If you like the others in this series, you won't be disappointed. "

" Another excellent work on the Mongol empire by Iggulden. "

" Thoroughly absorbing and entertaining read continuing the Genghis Khan series. The action is fast paced and the characterisation excellent. He is a master story teller. "

" The 4th instalment in the series - good, rollicking tale that sends you off to find an atlas. Need to go find the next one. "

" Very good book in that Conqueror collection. It seemed to me that it stayed closer to history than the previous book. But once again, very good character build up, good scene description. A good read. "

" Not as good as the previous books but still a good read. "

" The Mongol story continues with where the death of Genghis left off (in the first 3 of Conquerors series). Not as breath-taking as the previous ones--fewer battle scenes and more politics. Still a very good novel. Look forward to reading the next in the series--about Kublai Khan. "

" The sons, grandsons, and generals of Genghis Khan continue to expand the Mongol Empire (from the Pacific in the east and to the Atlantic in the west) but power is not shared equally or well. Iggulden continues to provide a wonderful look into the social, political, and military lives of the Khans. "

" Trite, an average read except for his pleasant "voice". "

" Fantastic novel. A lot less detailed violence althought hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered but one became more involved with the life of the key figures this time. The struggle for power and control of massive areas of land by the next generation of Genghis is intriguing. "

" Not quite as engaging as the first three, probably because none of the remaining characters show quite the same brilliance and charisma as Genghis. Still, it was an entertaining read, and it's a necessary bridge to the next book where Kublai's story begins. "

" for anyone whos pondered what the death of Ghengis meant for Mongolia, this is a good picture of the possibilities "

" A extremly good addition to the Conqueror series, it will take your imagination to a whole new level while reading this book. "

" It was like a ripping yarn adventure you use to get years ago. "

" Brilliant. Iggulden continues the series without a falter after Genghis' death. Why can't history in school have been so awesome? "

" Not my faovrite, runs a poor second to the Caesar and Ghenghis books. There is no definitive central character, can't figure out who the hero is. "

" I enjoyed this book immensely; found it a fitting & worthy conclusion to the Conqueror saga. I await the next Conn Iggulden journey into the past with great anticipation. "

" Genghis is dead and his sons and brothers soldier on,conquering the known world. Great historical writing. "

" The sons, grandsons, and generals of Genghis Khan continue to expand the Mongol Empire (from the Pacific in the east and to the Atlantic in the west) but power is not shared equally or well. Iggulden continues to provide a wonderful look into the social, political, and military lives of the Khans. "

" A soap opera for guys! Set against bloody battles around the world, the family of Genghis Khan maneuver around each other to become to Khan. Conn really gives a lot of life to people who, largely forgotten, formed the world we live in now. "

" Nice adventure read in the old fashion expansion on a little known period of history with lots of action packed in for a reader of the current era. I have very much enjoyed this series. Not so much the Roman series. I chalk it up to Iggulden learning the craft of historical fiction. "

" Thoroughly absorbing and entertaining read continuing the Genghis Khan series. The action is fast paced and the characterisation excellent. He is a master story teller. "
