Wolf of the Plains by Conn Iggulden

My review for Kaiwaka Library:
This novel is the first book in a series about the dynasty of Genghis Khan - though that name is not heard until the end of the book, when the man takes on that name.
It is a fascinating look at the hard lives led by the Mongols, living in a harsh environment that is often frozen, warring against neighbouring tribes including the Tartars, and sometimes simply surviving when the odds are against you.
I found it surprisingly engaging, and am looking forward to more.
