Empire of Silver by Conn Iggulden (Harper Collins, £18.99)
10:15am Saturday 4th September 2010 in
GENGHIS Khan is dead, but his son Ogodai is building a capital for the Mongols at Karakorum while the veteran general Tsubodai is expanding the boundaries of the empire into Eastern Europe, annihilating all resistance in the process.
But Ogodai’s brother, Chagatai, lusts to be Great Khan and his treachery threatens the very foundations of Genghis’ legacy. Epic in scale, alight with the fury of battle and alive with the very stuff of history, Iggulden’s latest epic shows starkly how close western Europe came to being just another Mongol province.
