“Suggestions of revelations to come combine with expertly crafted
fight sequences and immensely enjoyable characters to hold the
reader’s interest.” —Publishers Weekly
“I loved this book. The action was some of the best I’ve read in a
while. Each fight is important to the story. The battles range from
one-on-one to ten-on-sixty. Each one is the right kind of detailed
and wonderfully inventive. The characters are well drawn and
multi-faceted…The plot pulled me to the next page relentlessly. I
was thrilled when it was time for a battle, and I was thrilled when
it was time for character development. I spent the entire time
excited to see what this book had in store next. I am now excited
to see what the next book has in store. I cannot recommend this one
enough. Five Lovable Mongol Hordes out of Five.” —Ben Rhodes,
Fanboy Comics
“Fact and fiction are seamlessly blended to create a detailed
vision of 13th Century Asia and Europe, and the fear of the
overwhelming Mongol horde is palpable. The violence is detailed but
not gratuitous, and the fact that likeable characters aren’t safe
proves the authors are not afraid to make sacrifices in order to
provide a wonderful story.” —Geek Planet Online
“…A sprawling, character-rich, action-packed epic that’s part
history, part alternate history, part fantasy, part martial-arts
saga…Jumping from place to place and character to character, the
book has a potentially huge audience, not just fans of the
individual contributors and readers of Book One but also the much
larger fan bases for martial-arts epics, alternate history, and
historical fantasy.” —Booklist
