About this listen

The first of a major four book series on Genghis Khan, from the author of the number one bestselling Emperor series. Read by Jason Isaacs star of the BBC Drama CASE HISTORIES

Bonus feature: Includes an exclusive Q&A session between Conn Iggulden and Jason Isaacs.

'I am the land and the bones of the hills. I am the winter.'

Temujin, the second son of the khan of the Wolves tribe, was only eleven when his father died in an ambush.His family were thrown out of the tribe and left alone, without food or shelter, to starve to death on the harsh Mongolian plains.

It was a rough introduction to his life, to a sudden adult world, but Temujin survived, learning to combat natural and human threats. A man, a small family, without a tribe was always at risk but he gathered other outsiders to him, creating a new tribal identity. It was during some of his worst times that the image of uniting the warring tribes and bringing the silver people together came to him. He will become the khan of the sea of grass, Genghis.

This was absolutely enthralling, loved the characters especially the main one but all of them leapt out at you.
The tough but natural, way of life they lead is remarkable, the traits they uphold actually remind you of traits that have been lost in our society.
Iggulden’s writing is fantastic, this won’t be the last I listen to from him and he’s definitely added to my favourites now. Loving the audible app again and it’s becoming addictive, the fact you can listen to a few chapters and then come back to where you left off and be in the story is brilliant.
I’m ready for the next novel in the series.

I can't give it 5 stars as it is abridged and a shortened version of the full book. A master class in story telling. Performance was very good as well. Would recommend.

Brilliant book!!

Nothing important is left out, and the narration by Jason Isaacs is amazing. His voice suits this story fantastically well
