About this listen
The second in the bestselling new Conqueror series on Genghis Khan, it is a wonderful, epic story which Conn Iggulden brings brilliantly to life.
The gathering of the tribes of the Mongols has been a long time in coming but finally, triumphantly, Temujin of the Wolves, Genghis Khan, is given the full accolade of the overall leader and their oaths. Now he can begin to meld all the previously warring people into one army, one nation. But the task Genghis has set himself and them is formidable. He is determined to travel to the land of the long-time enemy, the Chin and attack them there. The distances and terrain-the wide deserts, the impenetrable mountains-make it a difficult venture even for the legendary Mongolian speed of movement, but the greatest problem is that of the complex fortifications, a way of fighting wars of a settled urban population which the nomadic Mongolians had never come across. Finding ways to tackle that and keeping his tribes together in a strange environment presents another new and exciting challenge for Genghis Khan.
Not only must Genghis succeed in this incredible campaign, but he must also reconcile the restless factions among his own generals, mediate between his ambitious brothers and cope with his own reactions to his growing sons. The young warrior has become a notable and victorious military commander of thousands: he must now learn to become a great leader of peoples of many different races and religions.
Lords of the Bow is a deeply satisfying novel. It is epic in scope, convincing, and fascinating in the narration of an extraordinary story. Above all Genghis Khan continues to dominate the scene as he matures from the young boy of Wolf of the Plains to the great Conqueror.

couldn't stop listening
I bought this for our family holiday. We couldn't stop listening to it. This is a compelling story well told. Highly recommended. I read his trilogy about caesar and knew he was a good writer. We need more form this author.

Fantastic
Super story and I personally really liked the narrator. No voices that made me cringe and sorry to see him not narrate the next book in the series

excellent
Great second book in this series. credible characters and good history. I would prefer not to hear the future plot at the end of this book as it ruins the next one.

fantastic story American accent of the reader is off-putting though
the story is fantastic, the series is brilliant and gripping
the accent of the reader however is a little bit off putting.
hearing Khan pronounced as can but with elongated a and other American annunciations is jarring.

Preferred narrator for first book
An incredible story and well narrated can't wait to listen to the next, however, it should use same narrator throughout the series, for the sake of continuity between characters voices and the pronunciation of names and places

Excellent story bringing Gengis Khan to life.
narration was good. I really enjoyed reading about Gengis rise to power, as a family struggle.

An immensely intriguing account of the life and times of the Mongolian empire.
I enjoyed this account very much, though I think some of the pronunciation was a little off!

Great listen
Mixes fact with fiction and really brings the events to life and left me really wanting to know more, it does not read like a history lesson at all though, a very entertaining story - the history is very well kept intact here, it is not altered to a degree where it is a problem. Well narrated, excellent characters. Highly recommend this book and I really do hope we have more available from this author very soon at Audible.
