New York Times best-selling author Conn Iggulden's Genghis Khan novels are infused with action, adventure, and rich historical details further fleshing out the great warlord's world. Having risen from his tribal upbringing, Genghis now leads a horde of fellow countrymen on a mission of conquest throughout Asia.

Escaping the Gobi Desert, he faces his greatest challenge, overtaking the empire of the Chin - a land protected by a massive, impenetrable wall.

I'm a trucker and this whole series just ate up the road. My number one complaint of all three books is that there's no more. After hearing Bones Of The Hills first I thought this reader wasn't quite as in to it, but the story is so good that before long I didn't notice it

Excellent

This is book number 2 of the series and as good as the first book.
So far I highly recommend listening if you enjoy history so well written.
The narrator, mr. Ferrone, has the right voice for a book such as this.
My thanks to all involved, JK.

EXCELLENT

We all seem to agree that this is a terrific story. Some listeners have been shaken by the change of narrator. Let me assure you that this narrator is as good as the first one, just different. Don't hesitate to get this book because of the change in narrator. Even if Richard Ferrone pronounced some names differently and his voice characterizations are different, you'll get used to it within the first half hour. I'm now going to download book three in the series.

Great Story and Great Narrator (really)

I read the reviews others wrote about the this new narrator. Didn't really bother me, I figured if the story was good enough what difference would it make. This guy was terrible and I don't think he read the first book to understand how names and places should be pronounced. He also hissed ever word, it was like having Lord Voldermort narrate this book. My ears are still tickling from all the damn hissing. The story itself is really good though. Now on to the third book for me, despite the hissing.

Please get a new narrator

First things first. It took quite a bit to get past the change in reader from the first book. I was merely disappointed in the beginning, since he didn't seem bad, just not as good a Stefan Rudnicki. However, I gradually became angry as he butchered the pronunciations of some names. He seemed to think that that the last syllable of certain names had to be dragged out for an extra beat or two and end in a snarl. What was more perplexing was that he didn't do this consistently. Thankfully, I think someone must have intervened since this habit diminished as the book went on. What still remained was the reader's insistence on portraying many characters in either a sniveling or raspy voice or some combination of the two.

I am glad I plodded through. I was quite satisfied with the story Iggulden weaves. He has a skillful way of portraying epic events through the eyes of a few compelling participants. In this second book, he has chosen to expand the collection of protagonists. Characters who previously mattered only in their relation to Genghis, such as his bothers, now come into their own. We are also introduced to new heroes and villains. The interactions between people around Genghis, especially his immediate family, become more complex as does Genghis' own relations with them. I do regret, though, that Borte and Hoelun, who played important roles in the first book, diminished in prominence in this book. The effect of all this is that the story seems to be evolving from the story of Genghis to the story of the burgeoning Mongol empire itself. In that sense, the title seems a bit of a misnomer, but I have no complaint. Anyone who expected this book to be the story about Genghis in his middle years will still find some of that; he is still central to the arc of the story after all, but the book aims to be much more. For me, it succeeds.

No longer just the story of Genghis

I didn't care for the narrator but persisted. I thought I wouldn't listen to the third book but by the end of this one I was hooked again. great story.

Book is great, narrator not so much.

Despite the change in narrators, this was an very fun sequel. A lot of people complained about this narrator (Richard Ferrone), mostly due to the way he pronounces some of the names, but he didn't bother me. This is the 2nd time I've read Lords of the Bow and I enjoyed it just as much as the 1st time I read it. I can't wait to start book 3 (for the 2nd time) then finally get around to reading books 4-5 (for the 1st time). If you enjoyed book 1, you will love book 2 (as long as you can accept the narrator). Again, I had no problems with the narrator.

Exciting, action packed sequel!
