I was born in the normal way in 1971, and vaguely remember half-pennies and sixpences. I have written for as long as I can remember: poetry, short stories and novels. It鈥檚 what I always wanted to do and read English at London University with writing in mind. I taught English for seven years and was Head of English at St. Gregory鈥檚 RC High School in London by the end of that period. I have enormous respect for those who still labour at the chalk-face. In truth, I can鈥檛 find it in me to miss the grind of paperwork and initiatives. I do miss the camaraderie of the smokers鈥� room, as well as the lessons where their faces lit up as they understood what I was wittering on about.
My mother is Irish and from an early age she told me history as an exciting series of stories 鈥� with dates. My great-grandfather was a Seannachie, so I suppose story-telling is in the genes somewhere. My father flew in Bomber Command in WWII, then taught maths and science. Perhaps crucially, he also loved poetry and cracking good tales. Though it seems a dated idea now, I began teaching when boys were told only girls were good at English, despite the great names that must spring to mind after that statement. My father loved working with wood and equations, but he also recited 鈥榁itai Lampada鈥� with a gleam in his eye and that matters, frankly.
I鈥檝e always loved historical fiction as a genre and cut my teeth on Hornblower and Tai-Pan, Flashman, Sharpe and Jack Aubrey. I still remember the sheer joy of reading my first Patrick O鈥橞rian book and discovering there were nineteen more in the series. I love just about anything by David Gemmell, or Peter F. Hamilton or Wilbur Smith. I suppose the one thing that links all those is the love of a good tale.
That鈥檚 about it for the moment. If you鈥檇 like to get in touch with me leave a comment in the forum or you can tweet me @Conn_Iggulden. I鈥檒l leave it there for the moment. If you鈥檝e read my books, you know an awful lot about the way I think already. There鈥檚 no point overdoing it.

I have mixed feelings regarding the final book of Conqueror, one of my favorite historical fiction series.
I鈥檓 starting to think that there鈥檚 a real curse contained within five books series that haunts me. I don鈥檛 even know why or how this happens, but I鈥檓 never left completely satisfied by the concluding installment of all five books series I鈥檝e read so far. Lightbringer by Brent Weeks, Heartstrikers by Rachel Aaron, The Shadow Campaigns by Django Wexler, and unfortunately, this series. All of them, somehow, felt plagued with the same issue that they either felt too long or unnecessary to be one whole book. That鈥檚 the thing with Conqueror: A Novel of Kublai Khan, it felt more like a spin-off of the previous four books rather than a direct sequel or a concluding installment.
Conqueror: A Novel of Kublai Khan is the fifth and final book in the Conqueror series by Conn Iggulden. For the content and what this book is about, the title pretty much speaks for itself; this is a book about Kublai Khan and his rise to power. If you鈥檝e been following my reviews for the past couple of weeks, you should already know that this is a series I genuinely love. Before I get down to the nitty-gritty of what makes this book disappointing to me, let me clarify once again that Conqueror is still one of my favorite historical fiction series of all time; what I feel regarding this final installment won鈥檛 change that. And please keep in mind that my assessment and feelings towards this book most likely fall on the unpopular opinion side; so many readers and fans of the series loved it.
Let鈥檚 start with the main characters. As the title implied and prove, this is a book about Kublai Khan. Almost all of the previous main characters from the past four books are鈥攗nderstandably鈥攏o longer in the story here. This situation immediately meant that I鈥檓 reading about characters that I鈥檓 not invested in. In the previous four books, we followed the perspective of Genghis Khan, his brothers, his sons and Tsubodai, to name a few; these were characters we follow since their beginning and their first encounter. In the case of Genghis and his families, we read about them since they were a child and all of them received proper exposure and character development. Genghis Khan, for instance, has one book that centered on his coming-of-age story. Unfortunately, that isn鈥檛 the case with the main characters here; Kublai Khan, Hugelu, Mongke, and Arik-Bore were characters that haven鈥檛 received a lot of developments previously, and then suddenly to read from their perspectives IN the final installment of the series was jarring. Reading about Genghis Khan and the previous main characters was miles apart better than reading about the new main characters here.
I have no idea whether it鈥檚 because I feel burned out by this series or not, that shouldn鈥檛 be the case because I still found myself completely hooked by Khan: Empire of Silver, but Iggulden鈥檚 writing here simply didn鈥檛 feel as engaging as his prose in the previous books. Plus, it felt like Iggulden tried to pack too much content into this one book and that disrupted the flow of the story. A lot of new characters introduced, important events like Hugelu鈥檚 brutal invasion of Baghdad didn鈥檛 receive enough exposure for lasting impact, and the battle scenes鈥攚hich were A LOT and was superb before鈥攕omehow turned out to be a huge struggle to get through. All of these isn鈥檛 to say that Kublai Khan wasn鈥檛 interesting as a character, on the contrary, his distinctive personality from the other Khan and his insane achievements just needed more pages and proper development to shine through in the series that has focused the narrative on Genghis Khan, his brothers and his sons, and also Tsubodai for four books long.
Conqueror: A Novel of Kublai Khan feels more like a spin-off that follows different characters and new storylines rather than a direct sequel, because of that, my mixed feelings regarding this book ended up becoming inconsequential towards my enjoyment and love of the previous books of the series. Seriously, this isn鈥檛 one of those 鈥渢he last book of the series ruined my love for the entire series鈥� case, Conqueror is still up there in my list of favorite historical fiction series together with The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell. I honestly recommend reading the previous four books of the series with all my heart, none of them ended on a cliffhanger and they鈥檙e easily some of the most engrossing (and informational) books鈥攁ll genres combined鈥擨鈥檝e read this year. And although I鈥檝e only voiced my criticism for this book in this review, I did have a good time in several sections of the book, especially the beginning and ending sequences. Without a doubt, I will be reading more of Iggulden鈥檚 work in the future, no idea when yet, but I鈥檓 leaning towards reading his Wars of the Roses series.
Here鈥檚 one last passage from Conn Iggulden himself about the Conqueror series and why you SHOULD read it:

鈥淭his story began with a single, starving family, hunted and alone on the plains of Mongolia 鈥� and ends with Kublai Khan ruling an empire larger than that of Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. Over just three generations, that is simply the greatest rags-to-riches tale in human history.鈥�

Conn Iggulden鈥檚 latest book chronicles the life of Kublai Khan, son of Tolui, grandson of Genghis Khan.
A warrior who would rule a fifth of the world with strength and wisdom.
A scholar who conquered an empire larger than those of Alexander or Caesar.
A brother who betrayed his own to protect a nation.
Conqueror paints a vivid picture of Mongol life post-Genghis and Iggulden masterfully brings almost legendary characters to life. As with all of his novels, he inserts many details from everyday life, which makes the story more authentic-feeling. He masterfully puts believable motivations behind all of his historical figures, which is the part of his writing that I love best.
The way he writes makes reading one of his novels an almost cinematic experience and he makes history accessible to the ordinary person. Another success of Iggulden鈥檚 writing, which is especially apparent in this novel, is his avoidance of creating a story that focuses too heavily on events, dates and geography. In Conqueror, the subject of exploration is the mind of the Kublai Khan from formative years through to a great civil war against his own brothers. As such, this novel appeals to those interested in history from a statistic as well as humanistic perspective. More generally, Iggulden鈥檚 incredible depiction of landscapes and battles should draw in readership from fans of thrillers and fantasy alike

Conn Iggulden follows up his excellent series on Genghis khan with another wonderful tale. This time it's about Genghis's grandson- Kublai. It follows the intelligent and different, from the Mongol norm, man from his young teenage years to his brother Mongke becoming Khan and sending Kublai on a conquest of the Southern Sung lands of China. The book does also track the experiences of Mongke, Hulegu, Batu and others.
As per his norm, Mr. Iggulden fills his pages with well researched and exciting tales. While, there are a few changes for the plot (the head of the Nizari Islamili Order at Alamut was NOT named Sulieman but rather Al Aud-Din), on the whole the story is historically accurate. It is also exciting and flows very well. The sheer range of the action from Russia to Baghdad to South China is phenomenal. He also understands the differing personalities of the grandsons of Ghenghis and how that affects their actions. Coupled with a good knowledge of how the Mongol's fought battles, from strategy to tactical formations- this a book that will not only entertain, but inform anyone interested in the Mongols.
I can not recommend this highly enough. Mr. Iggulden's work is amongst the best historical fiction I have read in a long while.

I wanted to rate this higher, but the end and major focus of the story was filled with missed opportunities. There should have been more focus and closure on Kublai. 6 of 10 stars

5 books, all 5*'s. By far the best historical fiction series I've read.
The thing CI gets is balance. He doesn't try to minimize the raw violence which was the Mongolian horde but he doesn't make them into mindless killers either. They have hopes, dreams, families, fears, needs and endure physical and mental pain to accomplish their goals.
Likewise CI balances giving us a sense of their culture and the cultures they conquer without getting carried away and boring everybody this side of a sociologist or anthropologist to tears. The moving tribe and their supply lines, the women and children, the need for food in places where it's scarce at best.
We also get a really good sense of what it was like to have the horde sitting outside your gates knowing you were damned no matter what choices you made.
An epic tale that made you feel for people on both sides.
I'm currently also reading his Emperor series which is good but not close to this series. I'll definitely checkout War of the Roses after that.

I thought, like many other readers that this was a great conclusion to the series, which surprisingly is, from the top of my head, the first historical fiction series that I have finished that has a large number of books in it. Many of the historical fiction have actually been standalones, or having maybe two or three books in the series, despite me really enjoying historical fiction as a genre. So if anyone knows any good historical fiction series, please recommend them to me.
Like the rest of the series, it didn鈥檛 feel quite like a five star read to me(I mainly give stars based off personal feeling towards a book more than anything), but was certainly a solid four. For some reason, I felt like that maybe the books won鈥檛 be as memorable as I would like, which may be a factor of the constant warring in every book, whereas I would have liked a bit more character development, though again, I know the author is trying his best to recreate historical figures here, and of that, I think he has done an amazing job.
There are certainly many books, often usually YA that, due to the audience, or maybe just style of the author, that some things can be left out, such as the brutal treatment of woman or that slaughter the Mongols inflicted among the people. It is stunningly brutal and I normally really dislike reading scenes like this, but I鈥檓 glad all the same that the author put these things in so that we can really experience the horror and almost relive in a way what these people have gone through. Just reading stuff like the Sacking of Baghdad really hurts in an odd way, seeing the ancient city, with the library getting destroyed, not to mention the hundreds of thousands that were slaughtered because of it. I thank him for putting such stuff in, despite the fact that it does almost make me wince at the brutality of the Mongols and their harsh treatment of people.
Another thing I liked about historical fiction is that it actually gets me googling up stuff on the topics and things in these books. I already am an avid learner of history and learning more stuff on these things is a whole load of fun. It also gets me the chance to look at maps, lots of maps, which, being both a fantasy and map nerd, is also, lots of fun to do. Even just reading more about each region鈥檚 history and such are good things as it gives me wider knowledge of the world.
I certainly plan to read more of Iggulden鈥檚 books in the future such as finishing off his series of Julius Caesar, which I think should be great. 8/10

A good finale to the series. This book sees the rise of Kublai Khan. Growing up, nobody would have guessed it would be the scholar grandson of Genghis, with his head in books and adoption of Chin culture, who would turn out to be Gur Khan of the Mongols - Then again, a generation or two before that nobody foresaw that there would be such a thing as a Mongol scholar.
Of course, Kublai doesn't stay a scholar, forced to take the field by his brother Mongke to extend Mongol control beyond the Chin borders into Sung territory. Kublai's very non Mongol custom of sparing the cities he conquered saw a lot of of the Sung forts open their gates wide without seeing any battle. Having some very competent generals as well as learning and honing his own skill in war strategy and tactics served Kublai later on well when he wrested control of the Empire from his brothers.
Again, Conn Iggulden weaves a fascinating tale of war and intrigue with a very event oriented plot. At the end of the book Iggulden includes some historical notes to let us know where he indulged in artistic licence. He pretty much sticks close to the facts.
Having the main characters as actual historical figures does mean the story feels a lot like it's on rails at times with the plot dictated by actual historical events. If I contrast this to Bernard Cornwell's style of writing, I find Cornwell gives himself a lot more room to maneuver by having his main characters as grunts in an army, and then weaving the story around one or two major historical events. In this way he is able to invent and develop his own characters while still referencing actual events in history and I think I prefer this signature Cornwell style.
Still, I have enjoyed this series immensely and highly recommend it to any historical fiction buffs who like a good battle/war oriented story or are interested in Mongol history in general.

I never considered myself a reader of historical fiction novels, probably due to the manner in which history was/is taught in school. In college, however, I had a favorite professor, educated at Harvard, with a keen intellect, and wit. During a class, and I still remember this, he mentioned the Mongols' sacking of Baghdad, where the city folks were so materialistic, they swallowed their jewels, only to have their bellies split open and their treasures robbed. Tremendous libraries and precious art were gleefully destroyed. Civilians were slaughtered and the city's treasury was plundered. The event was an extreme example of cultured civilization falling under swords of ruthlessness.
Well. I suppose that lecture was the reason I impulsively entered the 欧宝娱乐 giveaway for Conn Iggulden's novel about Kublai Khan. It is a long, rich, finely researched, description of bloody battles, Mongolian strategy, barbarian character, and strength that lifted a family from a roving band of starving nomads to, by the third generation, conquerors of areas greater than those of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. If you would have gauged my level of interest in such things only a week ago, I would have yawned. Now, I'm going to read the first of the Iggulden's series about Genghis Khan, and perhaps the rest of the series as well. Goes to show, you never know a person, until they read a good book, and their interests are set ablaze.

Oct 16, 1pm ~~ Review asap.
Oct 17, 2pm ~~ I thought I might come into this review spouting all sorts of intelligent remarks about not only this books but the entire series. I have opinions about it all, of course, but I am no scholar or philosopher so I will spare everyone those thoughts about nation building, power, corruption, greed; how one man's vision shifts when he is no longer there to guide it, and the influences of different cultures on a new nation. If the accepted leader of your country prefers to live as if he had been born in a different culture, how true can he really be to yours?
Okay, well, I said I was not going to get into all of that. But you see some of the ideas that these books triggered.
I always like books about how a person becomes the person they are meant to be. In this book we see Kublai Khan transform himself from scholar to warrior to Khan. Heavily influenced by Chin culture, but still Khan of all Mongolia. Times change over the generations, of course. The weapons of war had 'improved' since the days of Genghis, but horsemen, their bows and their incredible endurance were still feared and necessary tools of power.
I am glad I read these books. In school we learned a little about Genghis, then there was just a confusing bunch of names until Kublai showed up. Here we get to see what happened in between the two. Perhaps the books were not always completely accurate (the author admits this himself in his notes a the end of each book, pointing out places he altered timelines and so on) but I think we get an idea here of what it takes to create a nation and then keep it together.
The creating belonged to Genghis. The keeping together fell to his sons and grandsons. We leave the nation with Kublai in charge, his battles behind him, ready to face the future. While I do think a book about his years would be interesting, I agree with the author that we should leave Kublai at the moment we do: taking the reins of the nation his grandfather brought into being in the first book of the series. It feels appropriate.

I am glad I read these books. In school we learned a little about Genghis, then there was just a confusing bunch of names until Kublai showed up. Here we get to see what happened in between the two. Perhaps the books were not always completely accurate (the author admits this himself in his notes a the end of each book, pointing out places he altered timelines and so on) but I think we get an idea here of what it takes to create a nation and then keep it together.
The creating belonged to Genghis. The keeping together fell to his sons and grandsons. We leave the nation with Kublai in charge, his battles behind him, ready to face the future. While I do think a book about his years would be interesting, I agree with the author that we should leave Kublai at the moment we do: taking the reins of the nation his grandfather brought into being in the first book of the series. It feels appropriate.

Over just three generations, that is simply the greatest rags-to-riches tale in human history.
Finalmente chego ao fim da saga dos mong贸is, brilhantemente escrita pelas m茫os do autor Conn Iggulden. Sentirei saudades da poderosa cavalaria mongol e seus arcos devastando ex茅rcitos inimigos, das manobras utilizadas para enganar os advers谩rios e das tr锚s tendas (branca, vermelha e preta) em frente 脿s fortalezas inimigas. S茅rie recomendad铆ssima!
鈥� Somos o povo de prata, os mong贸is. Quando perguntarem, diga que n茫o existem tribos. Diga que sou c茫 do mar de capim, e eles me conhecer茫o por esse nome, G锚ngis. 脡, diga isso. Diga que sou G锚ngis e vou cavalgar.

Read this book in 2011, and its the 5th and final episode of the "Conqueror" series, featuring the Khan family throughout the ages of time.
This book is dedicated to Kublai Khan, who's an extraordinary man with a great a heroic mind, its about his action-packed rule, as well as the conquering of one-fitfh of the inhabited world, and all these actions will change the course of history forever.
We will see Kublai Khan from a young scholar to one's most powerful warriors, and as man that is in statute certainly as Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great or Napoleon Bonaparte, as a conqueror of the world.
Its a story of a man who will bring fame to the Mongol Empire and that will end with a civil war between him and his brothers.
What is to follow is an epic tale about an extraordinary man and one that will keep you gripped from start to finish, for this is a man with a vision and the power to fulfill his dream of building a nation from sea to sea, and achieving that all in a man's lifetime is a tremendous feat by this exceptional man.
Highly recommended, for this is a terrific ending to this marvellous series, and that's why I like to call this episode: "A Fabulous Khan Conclusion"!

I have gone off this series by Conn Iggulden. I appreciated Book 1 and 2, but I have not felt anything for the books since then, and this is book 5, so that tells you how long it has been since I have gotten into this series.
I have persisted in the hopes that sooner or later I would feel what I felt in Book 2 and because I keep buying the damn books so that I have the collection. Nice covers make me weak.
I find the writing quality in many of Iggulden's books simplistic and inconsistent. Like a slow building headache.
It is not always wanting though, there are moments where it is perfectly fine, but then it would stumble and fumble along, and I would find myself wincing often.
One of the major issues I had was with the low brow blood and guts description. It was the equivalent of a B Grade slasher movie. Violence for the sake of violence. Description of blood splattering and people dying in every possible way.
This form of description is for a different class of reader than I. I don't go "haw haw..that's some bloody ripping good shit!" when someone's slashed up, gutted, exploding in parts, dismembered, disembowelled, crushed and broken.
Moving on.
The book was too long. It needed shaving down. Too much blow by blow of nothing of any great significance, too much soap opera and too much (as mentioned) description of violence.
Hiding within the pages of Conqueror was a decent book crying to be let out. Instead, it was smothered in cheese and a fair amount of corn.

I loved this book so much I had to get all of Conn Iggulden's books on the Khan series and the books on Rome.This book was wonderful full of action,battle plans,hard choices and trickery.Conn Iggulden has done a wonderful job of making the mongols live for me.I loved how alive these men and women became for me while reading this book. I couldn't put this book down.While reading this book it was like being there in a way just so vivid.I highly recommend reading this book if you are a fan of historical fiction.This author has truly made a fan out of me with one book.I can't wait to read all of the other books Conn Iggulden has written.

The final book in this series focuses on the Mongol Empire after 1241.
Plot. Rating 4
The book has a fairly rich and ramified plot. However, due to the long time periods of the events described, many events are shown quickly and simplistically. For example, I liked the sudden beginning of the book. I was looking forward to a big story about the ten-year internecine strife of the Mongols, but this period was only described superficially.
Nevertheless, the parts of the book related to the military campaigns of the Mongols again interested me. I think that in these parts fiction is well intertwined with historical reality.
Characters. Rating 4
The book contains a large number of characters not only from the Mongol side, but also from the side of their opponents. As in the entire series, the episodic characters are created to be authentic and interesting. The main characters are well complemented by the inhabitants of Central Asia, southern and northern China, old and new military leaders, rulers of the Mongol empire, and the wives and children of various rulers and khans.
It seemed to me that the four sons of Tolui are the main characters of the book, but Kublai Khan stands out from them. This last great ruler of the Mongol Empire is shown excellently. I liked his character as well as his clever political and military decisions.
Dialogues. Rating 5
The dialogues in the book are nice and varied. For example, the great dialogue between Subutai and Batu. In comparison to the other books, it seems to me that the dialogues of the fifth book are the most skillful and accurate in advancing the plot and reflecting the personalities, behavior, and intentions of the many characters within.
Writing style. Rating 4
It hasn't changed by the end of the series. The fifth book reads smoothly and easily. Intense and rather detailed descriptions of hostilities do not interfere with reading.
Worldbuilding. Rating 4
This book devotes less time to the various details of worldbuilding. As with some of the previous books, there are controversial statements. For example, the thesis that the Mongols took their women and children on military campaigns seems dubious to me.
However, the possible errors are balanced by a brilliant description of the military action. I liked the interesting details about the first cannons and other weapons.
Conclusion. Overall rating 4
The fifth book successfully completes the series by talking about two large military companies.

This is a wonderful conclusion to the series. Once I was into the last one hundred pages, I just had to keep reading until I had finished at 2.30 am this morning.
As Conn Iggulden says in his historical notes at the end of the book, there is still so much that he could have continued to write about the Mongolian empire. Sorhatani, mother of the four grandsons of Genghis: Mongke, Kublai, Hulegu and Arik-Boke, deserves a book of her own. However, I think that Conn is correct in deciding to leave the story at the point that he does.
In this book, three of the four sons of Sorhatani, and Tolui, become Gur-khan (the Great Khan), following the early demise of their cousin Guyuk. As the author points out, this is a work of fiction, and the exact nature of any of the deaths and battles are made up around known historical fact. This is waht makes Conn Iggulden such a great writer of historical fiction. He brings it to life. He adds excitement to the (possibly) dry historical reference. This is why I love the genre so much.
Although it is possible to read any one of the five books in this series as a stand-alone volume, I would advise against it. One can only wonder at the rise of an empire that, at its peak, extends far further than either the Roman or Alexandran empires, from the tiniest of beginnings in the first episode. Terujin, as a small boy, is purssued into the wilderness. He grows to become Genghis, uniting the Mongolian nation and conquering most of the known world from western Europe to Eastern China.
The Conqueror series is a marathon read, and I have read them as they hit the book shops. I am glad that I did. This is tremendous series, and Conn Iggulden and his supporters have done a fantastic job.
I thoroughly recommend the whole series starting from the first volume and ending in the early hours of one morning sometime in your future. You will not be disappointed!

The final book in a five book series. I do not think I have binged on a series in very long time. I started book 1 in mid July and never let up. Conn's storytelling is some of the best out there for HF and war.
The series starts with Genghis Khan at about the age of 10 and finishes here with the adult years of Kublai, his grandson. Of all the children and grandchildren Kublai was the only one to embrace the Chin (Chinese) culture. Kublai began as a scholar but in the end the warrior blood of the Mongols caught up with him and he completed his grandfather's dream of conquering and uniting the Chin as one nation.
A fantastic story, told by a stellar writer.

This has been a great Historical Fiction series. I enjoyed this one and it was the perfect end to this series. The characters shined all throughout the entire series. I'll say that I gave the 4th installment only 3 stars, but this summed it all up. I loved the drama of war and the author showed what propels one to climb to the top, no matter the cost. That was all well done. I highly recommend this series, especially the audiobooks.

I鈥檓 feeling let down鈥� not remotely by this book and series, but solely by the fact that I will never be able to experience them for the first time again. It鈥檚 a good problem to have, really. After having completed the fifth book, I can now safely rank this series in my all-time favorite works of fiction, along with selected works by J. R. R. Tolkien, Frank Herbert, and Rosemary Sutcliff. This series is on that incredible level.
You probably think it鈥檚 weird to read the epic story of a family leading a nation of bloodthirsty, conquering killers, and actually feel empathy for them, and root for them, and care for them. And I would agree with you. Yet, that鈥檚 precisely what this story as told in its five volumes will make you feel.
If you are into historical war fiction that leaves you breathless with high drama and page-turning anticipation, and does so with excellent writing, superb character development, and a visceral immersion into the dangerous, exotic 13th-century world, you really ought to treat yourself to this series by Conn Iggulden. You鈥檒l thank me later. 猸愶笍猸愶笍猸愶笍猸愶笍猸愶笍猸愶笍

Conn Iggulden follows up his excellent series on Genghis khan with another wonderful tale. This time it's about Genghis's grandson- Kublai. It follows the intelligent and different, from the Mongol norm, man from his young teenage years to his brother Mongke becoming Khan and sending Kublai on a conquest of the Southern Sung lands of China. The book does also track the experiences of Mongke, Hulegu, Batu and others.
As per his norm, Mr. Iggulden fills his pages with well researched and exciting tales. While, there are a few changes for the plot (the head of the Nizari Islamili Order at Alamut was NOT named Sulieman but rather Al Aud-Din), on the whole the story is historically accurate. It is also exciting and flows very well. The sheer range of the action from Russia to Baghdad to South China is phenomenal. He also understands the differing personalities of the grandsons of Ghenghis and how that affects their actions. Coupled with a good knowledge of how the Mongol's fought battles, from strategy to tactical formations- this a book that will not only entertain, but inform anyone interested in the Mongols.
I can not recommend this highly enough. Mr. Iggulden's work is amongst the best historical fiction I have read in a long while.

'This story began with a single, starving family, hunted and alone on the plains of Mongolia - and ends with Kublai Khan ruling an empire larger than that of Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. Over just three generations, that is the simply the greatest rags-to-riches tale in human history.'-Conn Iggulden
Conqueror is second only to the first book in this series as my favorite. It's just a well written novel and I could tell Conn put his heart into this one. In addition to what is usually guaranteed from this author (great battles, epic moments, heart moving scenes), I really enjoyed the political intrigue here. The play for Power, and how it can change you (usually for the worse) once achieved.
"Power is always dangerous, it attracts the worst and corrupts the best"-Ragnar, Vikings.
The princes Mongke, Kublai, Hulegu and Ariq-Boke are in the spotlight. We see their differences in the way they deal with situations. But we clearly see what binds them as brothers: An Iron will.
I particularly enjoyed Kublai and Hulegu's sections.
In a time filled with clashing swords and ambitions, treachery, vengeful assassins...a Conqueror will rise.

As with all his novels, it was a well written, thoroughly researched book. Great history of culture. Significant insight into the great detail that the Mongols put into warfare and tactics.

Conn Iggulden 莽ok yetenekli bir Tarihsel Kurgu yazar谋. Fatih serisi de ger莽ekten ad谋na yara艧谋r bir ser眉ven oldu. Zaman zaman gere臒inden fazla uzat谋ld谋臒谋n谋 d眉艧眉nsem de yine de s谋kmad谋 ve yormad谋. Yine sonundaki tarihsel ger莽ekler b枚l眉m眉 ho艧uma gitti 莽眉nk眉 en az谋ndan yazar hikayenin ne kadar谋n谋 kurgulad谋 a莽谋k莽a belirtti.
Cengiz'in imparatorlu臒u d眉nyan谋n 5'te birine h眉kmetmi艧 bir imparatorluk. Geldi臒i nokta Cengiz'i bile k谋skand谋racak nitelikte. Bu kitaplar谋 okumak 枚zellikle Mo臒olistan'谋n tarihi hakk谋nda daha fazla ara艧t谋rmaya itti beni. Kudretli karde艧lerin nas谋l bir imparatorlu臒u y眉celtece臒ini ve zay谋f karde艧lerin nas谋l 莽枚k眉艧e sebep olabilece臒ini g枚sterdi bir kez daha. Mesela Kubilay'la Ar谋k B枚ke'nin 莽at谋艧mas谋 tek sava艧ta 莽枚z眉lm眉艧 gibi anlat谋lm谋艧 oysa ki i莽 sava艧 asl谋nda tam 3 y谋l s眉rm眉艧.
Ben 枚zellikle bu seri i莽in Koridor Yay谋nc谋l谋k'a te艧ekk眉r etmek istiyorum. "Bir seriye ba艧layal谋m, tutarsa devam谋n谋 getiririz" sorumluluk sahibi bir yay谋nevinin d眉艧眉ncesi olmamal谋.
Mesela Nitelik Yay谋nlar谋'ndan 莽谋kan Conn Iggulden'in 陌mparator serisi. 5 kitapl谋k serinin 2 kitab谋 var.
Mesela 陌nk谋lap Yay谋nevi'nden 莽谋kan Ken Follett'in Kingsbridge serisi 3 kitapl谋k serinin 2 kitab谋 var.
Mesela Olas谋l谋k Yay谋nlar谋'ndan 莽谋kan Ken Follett'in Y眉zy谋l 脺莽lemesi 3 kitapl谋k serinin 2 kitab谋 var.
De臒erli yay谋nevleri bir seriye ba艧lad谋臒谋n谋z zaman okuyucunuza kar艧谋 sorumlusunuz. Belki kar getirmeyecek ama bir seriye ba艧land谋ysa kan谋mca t眉m kitaplar谋 莽evrilmeli. 陌艧in k枚t眉 taraf谋 orijinal dilinde de bulam谋yorsunuz ve Ken Follett'te oldu臒u gibi yar谋da kal谋yorsunuz.
Neyse, Fatih serisi ger莽ekten 莽ok uzun s眉rd眉 ama keyifli bir yolculuktu.
Herkese keyifli okumalar!

All five volumes were excellent historical fiction.
They are a reminder, too, that 鈥済reat men鈥� like Genghis Khan and his successors were capable of unspeakable brutality and (I can think of no other word) demonic barbarism. They left in their wake killing fields swimming in blood.
The lust for power will do that. And worse.
I am glad to have learned more of Genghis Khan, for I learned more of the evil of which the human heart is capable. And thus learned more about myself.
God save us from ourselves.
