Summary
The distances and terrain - the wide deserts, the impenetrable mountains - make it a difficult venture, even for the legendarily speedy Mongols. But the greatest problem is confronting complex fortifications, a way of fighting a settled urban population - which the nomadic Mongolians have never come across. Finding ways to do that, and keeping his tribes together in a strange environment, presents another new and exciting challenge for Genghis Khan. Not only must Genghis succeed in this incredible campaign, but he must also reconcile the restless factions among his own generals, mediate between his ambitious brothers, and cope with his own reactions to his growing sons.
The young warrior has become a notable and victorious military commander of thousands. He must now learn to become a great leader of peoples of many different races and religions. Lords of the Bow is a deeply satisfying novel, epic in scope, convincing, and fascinating in its narration of an extraordinary story.

couldn't stop listening
I bought this for our family holiday. We couldn't stop listening to it. This is a compelling story well told. Highly recommended. I read his trilogy about caesar and knew he was a good writer. We need more form this author.

Fantastic
Super story and I personally really liked the narrator. No voices that made me cringe and sorry to see him not narrate the next book in the series

Great second book in this series. credible characters and good history. I would prefer not to hear the future plot at the end of this book as it ruins the next one.

Preferred narrator for first book
An incredible story and well narrated can't wait to listen to the next, however, it should use same narrator throughout the series, for the sake of continuity between characters voices and the pronunciation of names and places

Excellent story bringing Gengis Khan to life.
narration was good. I really enjoyed reading about Gengis rise to power, as a family struggle.

An immensely intriguing account of the life and times of the Mongolian empire.
I enjoyed this account very much, though I think some of the pronunciation was a little off!

Impressive
This is a pretty hefty book about a pretty hefty character. The author manages to keep a good tempo with enough interesting facts to keep you interested.
I’m not sure it’s a book I’d recommend (even though I’m glad I’ve listened to it) simply because I wasn’t really absorbed.
