The Mongoliad: Book One
by Greg Bear, Neal Stephenson, Mark Teppo, Joseph Brassey, E.D. deBirmingham, Cooper Moo, Erik Bear
An excellent collaboration between a handful of writers, including Neal Stephenson and Greg Bear. It chronicles two sets of intriguing characters on both sides of the immediate post-Ghengis days of the Mongol Empire. It tracks the efforts and struggles and political intrigues of a traditional steppe warrior sent to Karakorum to try to get the Khan to stop drinking himself to death on one hand, and a band of Shield-Brethren warriors on a covert, suicidal journey across the continent to assassinate the Khan in the hopes of forestalling an invasion of Christian Europe. It deftly mixes intrigue, chartacter building and solid and brutal battle action. The one downside is that this Book One ends abruptly in the middle of the action. Looking forward to reading Book Two.
