false <![CDATA[Bones of the Hills (Conqueror, #3)]]> 3276637 8 One can only hope that the phenomenal success of his co-authored The Dangerous Book for Boys does not take attention away from the prodigious storytelling skills of Conn Iggulden. As Bones of the Hills forcefully reminds us, Iggulden is the real deal when it comes to historical fiction on the grandest scale. And here, all of his characteristic skills are well to the fore. A boy was abandoned in the wilderness by his tribe -- but he did not die. As those Iggulden admirers who have read Wolf of the Plains and Lords of the Bow will know, this luckless boy has grown into one of the most feared and powerful figures in history, Genghis Khan. He has persuaded the tribes that had been tearing each other to pieces to ignore their differences and unite under his leadership to battle their oldest enemies. Under his ruthless (and ferociously inspired) leadership, a mighty nation has been forged. But this is only the beginning of his struggles: Khan sends out emissaries, but they are tortured and killed. He attempts to open trade routes; his efforts are met with violent rebuff. Soon, the Mongolian army is stretched to the furthest corners of Khan's realm, and destruction looms. This is epic storytelling on a nigh-operatic scale. Iggulden has long been the master of the broad brush stroke and conjures up the ancient world with great panache. Of course, the success of a book such as Bones of the Hills depends on the vivid characterisation of its larger-than-life central character, and of the many novels which have attempted to capture Genghis Khan, none have mastered the task as successfully as Conn Iggulden. --Barry Forshaw 3312922 book 1 9 2007 Bones of the Hills (Conqueror, #3) total:180|5:63|4:80|3:35|2:1|1:1| 180 743 320 47 3276637 0007201788 9780007201785 136 28 Bones of the Hills (Conqueror, #3) 4.13 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3276637.Bones_of_the_Hills 5 1 false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 13:23:44 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 13:28:11 -0800 2009 4101922 0385339534 9780385339537 33 17 Bones of the Hills (Conqueror book 3) 4.13 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255792140m/4101922.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4101922.Bones_of_the_Hills 0 0 false Wed Sep 30 12:48:14 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 12:48:14 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3276637 0007201788 9780007201785 136 28 Bones of the Hills (Conqueror, #3) 4.13 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3276637.Bones_of_the_Hills 5 0 false Fri Dec 12 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 23:44:21 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 23:46:41 -0800 2008
Okay. This is where I confess to having a fascination with Genghis Khan that goes way beyond his place in history. I loved Conn Iggulden's trilogy. Totally and unobjectively.
