For lovers of thrilling adventure and grand history, the
bestselling co-author of the #1 "New York Times "bestseller "The
Dangerous Book for Boys" has written a magnificent novel with a
hero for the ages: the legendary, visionary conqueror Kublai Khan.
A succession of ruthless men have seized power in the wake of
Genghis Khan's death--all descendants of the great leader, but none
with his indomitable character. One grandson, Guyuk, strains the
loyalties of the tribes to the breaking point, and another, Mongke,
brutally eliminates the opposition and dispatches his younger
brothers Kublai and Hulegu to far-flung territories.
Hulegu displays his barbarity with the savage destruction of
Baghdad and his clash with the Khan's age-old enemies, the cult of
assassins. But it is Kublai--refined and scholarly, always
considered too thoughtful to take power--who will devise new ways
of warfare and conquest as he builds the dream city of Xanadu and
pursues the ultimate prize: the ancient empire of Sung China. His
gifts will serve him well when an epic civil war breaks out among
brothers, the outcome of which will literally change the
world.
