Story4.5 out of 5 stars 176
In The Unholy Consult, the Men of the Great Ordeal have been abandoned by Anasurimbor Kellhus, and the grand crusade has dissolved into cannibalism and chaos. When Exalt-General Proyas, the Prince-Imperial Kayutas at his side, attempts to gain control of the lost Men and continue their march to Golgotterath, it rapidly becomes clear that the lost Lord and Prophet is not so easily shaken from the mission.

I hate to write such a specific and short review but I have to vent this. Near the end of the book I had to skip a whole 20 minutes because if I heard "our salvation!" one more time I was going to lose it. Horrible combo of an already annoying and lackluster line read by a narrator whos exclamations are already unbearable.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 173
Throughout history the world’s greatest conquerors have made their mark not just on the battlefield, but in the societies they have transformed. Genghis Khan conquered by arms and bravery, but he ruled by commerce and religion. He created the world’s greatest trading network and drastically lowered taxes for merchants, but he knew that if his empire was going to last, he would need something stronger and more binding than trade. He needed religion.

I don't know why but this book made Ghengis Khan a very endearing person for me. He truly was a force to be reckoned with, and not just in conquest, doing much benevolent and constantly searching for knowledge.
