The action-packed second novel in the No. 1 bestselling Conqueror
series, bringing to the epic story of Genghis Khan brilliantly to
life The gathering of the tribes of the Mongols has been a long
time in coming but finally, triumphantly, Temujin of the Wolves,
Genghis Khan, is given the full accolade of the overall leader and
their oaths. Now he can begin to meld all the previously warring
people into one army, one nation. But the task Genghis has set
himself and them is formidable. He is determined to travel to the
land of the long-time enemy, the Chin and attack them there. The
distances and terrain-the wide deserts, the impenetrable
mountains-make it a difficult venture even for the legendary
Mongolian speed of movement, but the greatest problem is that of
the complex fortifications, a way of fighting wars of a settled
urban population which the nomadic Mongolians had never come
across. Finding ways to tackle 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. It is epic in scope, convincing, and
fascinating in the narration of an extraordinary story. Above all
Genghis Khan continues to dominate the scene as he matures from the
young boy of Wolf of the Plains to the great Conqueror.
