warriors. In 2007 Cooper fought a Chinese long-sword instructor on

“The Mongoliad was inspired in part by the authors’ interest in
medieval combat techniques, and the meticulously choreographed
fight scenes are among the story’s greatest highlights. Another
band of Shield Brethren, stationed at the Polish village of Hünern,
are involved in a plot to overthrow the Mongol general there; the
uprising they orchestrate with Japanese and Korean prisoners of war
plays out like a dazzling action movie.” —Shelf Awareness
“…The series is wonderfully crafted…If you’re a fan of epic
fiction, or historical fiction (which tends to be epic), you’ll be
doing yourself a disservice by not reading this series. It may soon
be remembered as the Wheel of Time of historical fiction.”
—Novelnaut
“The final book in the Mongoliad trilogy is incredible…I am a big
fan of the sprawling epic, like Game of Thrones and The Lord of the
Rings, so when my favorite novelist and six other authors got
together to write an epic, I was sold…The action is exciting and
feels more real than anything I have read before. The characters
are all multi-layered and sympathetic, even when they are trying to
kill each other. The pacing is perfect. This might be the easiest
recommendation I make all year. Go and read The Mongoliad…Five
Perfectly Executed Parries out of Five” —Fanboy Comics
