Wolf of the Plains

Conqueror, Book 1

De: Conn Iggulden

Narrado por: Stephen Thorne

The first book in the bestselling Conqueror series featuring Genghis Khan and his descendants.

'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.

Superb storytelling...put me right there on the Mongolian plains in amongst the blood sweat and tears!!!

Great!

Listened and read as fast as possible! A breathtaking and somehow relatable story based in history.

Brilliant

Conn Iggulden is an absolute master of the historical novels. Absolutely amazing. Can't wait to hear the next book.

Loved it.

I hope I enjoy the rest of the series as much as this. The character development is brilliant.

AJN'S review

I love this version on the story of Genghis. It takes into account the secret history while refreshingly making adjustments to make the story feel more real. Beautifully read and portrayed.

Excellent narration

Should go for it without second thought. Conn Iggulden is a master. And the dramatized narration is too delicious to miss.

Decent storylines

Took a while to get going but soon couldn’t put it down. Worth buying for sure.

Number the books please!

One lost point for the very inconvenient missing book numbers. Had to go look it up on Wiki to find out which one to download next. This has been a problem with every Audible series so far! Please fix.

Spetacular

Amazing story, and narration. On my second “reading “. Too bad the I could not find the other books on the app

Awesome story awesomely written

Finished it in less than a week. Very interesting and action packed book! From beginning to end the story is riveting as well as inspiring.
