The Mongoliad: Book One
by Greg Bear, Neal Stephenson, Mark Teppo
A brisk and engrossing epic that would serve as a fantastic beach read for the kind of person who doesn't like to go to the beach. The characters are more or less real, though seem prone to supernatural acts of martial prowess, but they are second only to the exquisite battle scenes which populate all sides of the narrative, from Western templars to Mongolian steppe-warriors.
Sadly is yet another goddamn trilogy starter and it ends on a cliffhanger, which is frustrating at this time since Book 2 has not come out yet. This is definitely not a standalone narrative and it is worse for it because it simply ends with little resolution and many questions. Definitely worth a look, especially for fans of Stephenson and Bear.
