A review by nightchough
Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon

4.0

A ripsnorter! The author's note at the end says the working title (and in his heart the true title) of this book is "Jews With Swords". Better title. This was published as a serial; a medieval Silk Road adventure story, starring Khazars with one-eyed men, torches, secret identities, revenge, and ferocious battles; illustrated by Gary Gianni in the style of Howard Pyle. What's not to love? I was hooked in the first 10 pages and could hardly put it down.
